January 5th, 2008

Suffering the large-never loss in our booklet — a total of $60.000 — our value took nosedive still in January. I.e., the second month in the red in last three months. For the month, our value decreased by 4.8%, or more than $42.000. I would be if I say that I do not miss the good old women days when we can count on formed value the month improvement after month. In addition, it is probably not a bad thing if one takes a long-term prospect. After all, it could be much worse if this occurs after I finally offered goodbye to my life of corporation — which it extreme scenario of early retirement was in our plan during many years and all until we wait is we struck certain value the number. If something, the recent turbulence of the market is used as convenient call of order in our last right end towards the millionaire that the club which the early retirement is only the means at an end, and the risk management is more important than ever in our turn towards financial independence. Fortunately, our jets of income of core are always the well-oiled machines. My daily work always produces five-figure cash flow of financing monthly even after paying all the taxes and alive expenditure. Our businesses of touchline also provided a great surprise in January with the principal monthly value net $10.000 still. Any unit, our family is not very affected by the losses of paper (or the profits) in our booklet. The basic line is, even with the slide of the market these last months, always more than added us $190.000 with our net amount in the last 12 months.
