Well we are properly into 2011 now.
It was quite a good week in the Marigold household. Still have not managed to locate the missing landlord and still no sign of the money he owes us from 3 months ago. I came across a web page where you name and shame bad landlords, can't remember what it was called but it was something like Angry Tenents @ blogspot, maybe we should start a revolt! So if anyone has any ideas how to find this annoying individual, then I would love to hear from you. He probably does this all the time.
Waiting to be paid from someone else too, why are we always waiting for money? If i paid my bills this late, I would be disconnected from something or have bad credit, so why is it companies can get away with it?
The DVM is annoying too. We bought a car in August, from an auction. It had no plates on it which is quite normal for over here from what I understand. So we sent the paper work off last September and still have not heard back. This is in spite of emails and letters being sent, so Mr Marigold has booked an appointment to sort it out. Can't get an appointment within 3 weeks and it means taking an afternoon off work and loosing pay. Mean while, he has been pulled over by the cops 3 times as he has no plates. Really, it is such a ridiculous situation to be in. In this day and age, they really should have their act together!
Ok, I've had my moan today, I won't even get started on the postal system and the amount if mail which hasn't arrived or has got here opened! I've never had so many problems! Is all this normal for the states? It's like 1 step forward 760 back!!
Anyway, shares! I have been charting, but alas, all these problems are preventing me from buying in. At the beginning of December, one of the shares I found has done incredibly well, BSQR, it's just so frustrating looking at it and not being able to buy any, it's only gone up 300% since mid november! A real Darvas share.
Well, I'm fighting back and I can't wait to be buying into a share just like that one and telling you how much I have made. Just wish those days would blimmin hurry up!!

Finding absent landlord
Yay it's 2011! Happy new year to everyone
First task of the new year.... finding my ex landlord who owes me approximate $6,000! How do I find him? He doesn't live at the house I rented, he said (while I was renting the house) that he was living in Mexico as his wife is a diplomat there. All mail is re-directed, he doesn't answer emails, probably changed it anyway, and I have no phone number.
I have asked a neighbour who has a spare key, but she is keeping shut to his where abouts. I don't know his SS number.
So if anyone has any ideas, please let me know
Apart from that, I'm moving forward in a happy positive way...bring it on

Tough week
It's Friday already and I'm quite relieved.
I haven't had the best of weeks, but hey that's life for ya!
I sold NCT this week at 6.08. Although I could have made a bit more, I'm pleased I made a profit. A total of $242.50 isn't much I admit, but, if I had invested $10,000 and not just $1,000 I would have been very happy.
At least it is showing me the system is working. I know the indexes have, this week, reached 2 year highs, but the majority of the shares I have been charting are moving in a side ways direction. Maybe it's still a little early for buying shares using Darvas boxes. On a positive note though, I am very sure the markets will follow the indexes and be hitting new highs. So although I am out of the Market for now, I'm hopeful it won't be for too long.
Number one son returned to the Marigold house hold in the wee hours of this morning. He seems to have enjoyed his trip home to the UK and a short visit to see his sister and mates. I think he overdosed on the Indian take aways, but can't say I blame him, I always do the same when in the UK.
I'm looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend and I'm hoping a good one with no stress. Hope yours us a good one too!

Christmas crackers
I've put my Christmas tree up, but it still doesn't feel like Christmas. Maybe this year is going to be a non-Christmas? Bah humbug me
Why can't you buy crackers in the states, and not the sort you eat with cheese?
It's been a rubbish day today, please send some Christmas cheer my way and a big fat cheque wouldnt go amiss either!

Disappointing book
I learned all I know ( which isn't much) about trading shares from reading books. I have read several, the one which struck a chord with me right from the start was How I Made $2,000,000 on the stock Market by Nicolas Darvas. I read this book cover to cover then read it again. It was a system which seemed to make sense. Since then I have read all the other Darvas books and they are now the bible in my house on trading.
So, imagine my excitement when I found on Amazon a new book, which was called How I Made Money Using the Darvas System by Steve Burns. The review promised to bring this system which was devised in the pre computer era, bang up to date and usable in the current day. Woopie I thought, some one else using the system, I wonder how much they have made and how the system has been revolutionised!
This book arrived over the weekend, so I tore the packaging off and settled down for my longed for read. An hour later, only 60 odd pages in the book, and oh what disappointment! Most of this guys money was made from his company giving him shares, and, he made only $3,500 on the Darvas system! His revolutionary way to find shares was to look on MSN money for 52 week highs.... maybe I'm not as dumb as my blonde hair suggests!
Honestly, if this was worth publishing a book then I'm J K Rowling!
On a far more exciting note, number one son is currently on a flight to the UK sitting a few seats from Amir Khan, returning to the UK after his world title defence in Vegas Saturday night. Now that is worth writing about!

I love saturdays
How I love the weekends!
Went for a latte with Mr Marigold this morning, I do enjoy a leisurely coffee in the sun. It's nice to sit and people watch too, plenty of strange sights to behold in our neck of the woods!
We then went and attacked the maddening crowds at Walmart and finally started our Christmas shopping! They say women were born to shop but I certainly wasn't, after 15 minutes my patience has upped and left, and I'm ready for home! We did manage to buy everything which needs to be sent to friends and family in Europe and even a little tree for the living room. So just a couple of pressies left to get from Amazon and I'm done!
Off to the cinema this afternoon to watch the new Colin Firth movie, The Kings Speech. Then back by 8pm so we can watch the Amir Khan fight.
