Try To Do Better

Who would have thought that there are those of you out there that are actually reading these articles. I know you do because out of the blue, someone I don't really know wrote and told me how much they liked the last article I wrote about dirty trick emails during the presidential campaign. I took this as the literary equivalent of a cattle prod. Good Grief! Has it actually been over six months since I posted anything. Sad but true. I will try to do better.

However, as I mentioned during one of my earlier post there is much to do in the studio besides writing and I am only one person. Still, I WILL TRY to do better.

It's not like I have run out of things to rant about. Political foolishness on both sides of the aisle not withstanding. I really want no part of that insanity. The economy is a tired and truly blue bit of worn out news. The only thing I can really say about money is that it is nice to have it. Wow! Wasn't that a revelation worth waiting six months for?

I guess I should have put more emphasis on making money during the decades I've been tooling around this fair world. Shoot! I could have been another Bernie Madoff if I'd just focused on that scene a little more.

Seriously, I have been cracking the non-fiction books about finances in order to better understand the options before us. It's a little late in the game, but I've always heard that late is better than never, and as I stated a few sentences ago, I AM TRYING TO DO BETTER.

I think I have a handle on the basics. I'm pretty sure I can now tell the difference between an asset and a liability. But, just between me and whoever you are, all those market reports and the whole trading game, well... wait for it...BIG YAWN.

So, the advice I'm getting for someone who doesn't have a lot of experience or attention span where the market is concerned is to continue to produce assets.

That means I will be headed back into the studio. But I'll be back sooner than later, because I really am TRYING 2 dO BEtTEr.
