                       Hi

      Wouldnt be so bad if i was making money, the hatches on my portfolio are

well and truly batterned down.  My financial goal is to be able to retire at 50 (twelve

more years) and go to live in crete greece. I lived there for four years while on my

world travels, i left there ten years ago when i met a New Zealand woman, She persuaded me NZ

was the promised land. Its amazing what one will believe when in love!!.(Still with her).

      Im from england originally but have been a permanent resident

 here since 1991.

        I currently work in electronics and have been very lucky on the stock market (all NZ)

and have managed to turn ten thousand into over hundred, its taken ten years though.

        I was tempted to go back to greece sooner. I had visions of sitting outside a nice taverna day trading

on my laptop. I have never tried day trading and i have to say the current volatility

in the market has put me off.

       I choose my stocks for the long run, my favs at the moment is montana which i have held

for many years (shame about this years harvest though.

      Im expecting a nice profit on FFS too i hhave been buying them up this year at

around 55c and am expecting to at least double up there.

Hi Nick

 

There's more to life than just making money. Money is only paper. Since you've nothing to do tell us a bit about yourself. What do you want from life. That is what is your financial goal. What do you want from life. You can't take the money up to heaven. Do you live on the cheap because you want to live on the wild side later.

Thanks.
