Spanish Water Dog


Found out about Spanish Water Dogs about a year ago. Sounded like a perfect breed of dog for our family. But, they are very rare in the United States. Didn't think we'd be able to get one.

Thankfully, a year later...we found one. A great female from Nebraska.


The whole family is excited.

For the Love of Books...and Mom

December is bittersweet. A month filled with memories of great holiday traditions. Memories of mom decorating the house for the holidays. She was Swedish, so...the baking of cookies, pies, cupcakes, etc. was around the clock and filled the house with the most amazing smells.

Mom had a love of movies. During Christmas break, we'd spend much of the time catching up on some good movies and eating all those cookies.

Just some really great memories in December. But, December was also the month mom passed away after a long battle with cancer. The day after Christmas to be exact.

And so, I spend the month of December trying to give my kids the great holiday memories mom gave me. Yet, missing mom.

Guess, that's why I enjoyed reading this article about a son stepping up to help his mom's cherished bookstore. Very cool and innovative thing he did. And much luck and success to Broadway Books during this holiday season.

Portfolio Performance for October 2009

Nothing like the holidays in order to catch up with the chores. Reporting October's performance being one of them. Really not much to report. Neither the market nor the portfolio did much of anything. Which is good considering all the gloom and doom out there in the financial landscape.



As you can see, the market still has the portfolio by a small edge.



Basically, it was a tie this month with a monthly decline of -1.98% for the market and a decline of -1.95% for the portfolio. Technically, a win this month...but I'm calling it a tie.



As a said before, a pretty nothing month for October. Not much else to say. On to other things...

The simulation platform is ongoing. I'm still hip deep in unit testing. But, getting ever closer to feeling good about the validity of the platform's results.

The system the portfolio is based on, as we know by reviewing the portfolio's performance each month, has quite a bit of volatility. I've discovered a very simple filter recently that may aid in reducing the vol of the system. Of course, the testing platform needs to be finished before I can be sure of the filter's validity. But, preliminary results look promising.

From the fun pile...have you checked out ESPN's wildlife cam? My brother-in-law pointed it out to me and it is truly addicting. Never know what you may see. Last night there was a hog all by his lonesome eating the corn. The other day, about 15 turkeys were feeding, along with some deer. The funnest part is when the coons and deer fight over the feed. Good stuff.

Also, not sure if the readers are aware...but I'm on twitter now...and post every now and then random stuff. You can view my twitter feed at the top right of this blog.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Portfolio Performance for September 2009

Wow, I'm really bad at this blog thing. Seems like everyone else out in the blogosphere can sling out posts faster than Roscoe P. Coltrane. While I just get deeper and deeper into coding. Maybe one of these days I'll feel I've coded enough to take a break and share some of what I've been doing. Until then, let's get to September's performance review...







As you can see, September was a good month for the portfolio. Finally, beating the market with a 6.1% return versus the market's 3.6% return. But, one month doesn't a year make. So, need a few more of these to aid with the nasty drawdown for 2009.
