I really liked your site. Now, I think about a lot of things but most of them don't get realized but with this blog, at least it's "tangible". I hope it motivates me to keep on learning financially! All the best, and I'll be dropping by to see what movies you're watching! @ Mike I forgive ya for the Brip Blap goal commitment as that's not New Year related ;) Your 2 minutes are over :) @ Anthony LOL, well, you've got plenty of time to start thinking now! Since I never could keep one, I just decided skip the pretense and not lie to myself :) @ Monique

I forgot to make any. Maybe they are to... remember new years resolutions next year? At 11pm on New Years Eve someone asked me what my resolutions were. I forgot to make any.

And btw, I think you do have a New Year's resolution, which is to "learn more from experimentation." I think that's a noble resolution that takes a lot of guts, and will only make you stronger as an investor, a blogger, and a person. So congrats! IMO, a resolution doesn't always have to be a goal. In fact, I think they're more powerful (and useful) when they are simple sentences that help you focus on one specific way to improve your life, by challenging yourself. Like mine, for example is that people will throw money at me this year (Idiomatically, not literally, because I'm not planning to start stripping). I don't know how I'm going to make that happen, but the simple process of thinking about it, will force me to focus on ways to make it happen. And already it's working, because I woke up today, on the 1st with a recommendation from you... Which on Entrecard is a form of money. So we're both off and running! Thanks!

Hey, the pros lose money too and I still firmly believe it's like a poker game. You can't win every hand but the idea is to win more than you lose. @ Paul The fact that the pen matches her red hair ribbons and shoelaces trumps EVERYTHING ;) Seriously, these photos were taken when I had a photo comic going in a CPK MSN group. I've got tons of pics and if they can work in the context of the article, I put 'em in - cuz I like 'em and they're cute. I've threatened to unleash a full series on Money Relations before :) @ StockTube Hey there ST, thanks for stopping by and happy holidays! @ Mike Yay for being goalless! Am I pushing the pf community envelope by being goalless <em>and</em> buying my lunches? ;) P.S. I just went back to your blog and noticed a recap from your weigh-in. "<a href="http://www.four-pillars.ca/2007/12/12/shooting-down-goals/">Shooting Down Goals"</a> was a great article but lands you in the penalty box with me, buster. Best wishes to everyone for the new year! @ hsl
