[Boomer]

I'm just "mostly" a buy and hold girl. That's because I am so conservative in what I buy. I have one or two that I am pretty loyal to.

But I have sold a few things. Jumped off that Harley just in time. And then there was when my insurance company issued an IPO and said that policy holders could have stock or money. I took the stock. Up and up it went and I sold it. And I am glad. I just did not want to own it anymore.

But there was also my unfortunate tech bubble incident of the 90's. I have written about that on here somewhere before. I sure thought I was hot stuff. I would walk in the door after work, flip on Bloomberg, and smile like the cat who swallowed the canary. Well, you know what happened. I learned though.

Mr. Boomer still loves to say, "Hey, where is that woman I used to sleep with who was getting me a 102% on those funds?" (Hubris ain't purdy, you know.)

But I never bet the whole farm. Just my little stash of butter and egg money. I am mostly boring as can be.

I really do like being responsible for investment decisions myself, for now anyway. Some of my friends think this is so weird and they ask me why I like this stuff. And I really do not know. I have wondered if it is some kind of genetic predisposition. Maybe some day the financial adviser of my dreams will come my way, but for right now I just can't turn it all over to some guy, even though he wants to buy me dinner first.
