Dog Ownership...my path to retirement...

So we got a dog last year.  A Yorkie-Poodle mix (Yorkie-poo).  Its the only dog gayer than Doodi's.  Even my gay friend said he would be uncomfortable owning one.  My daughter picked it out...really.

Anyways, I started taking it down to the local park for a morning walk and ran into a bunch of  dog folks there..a whole crowd.  I hit it off with one guy in particular.  We have a bunch of common interests.  Anyways, he's 61, been retired for over 20 years and used to own a seat on the Chicago Options Exchange.  Very rich...quickly becoming very very rich in this volitile markt.  All self made from investing/trading.  Now, Ive dabbled in the market here and there, but I am all book taught.  Its hard to make the jump without a mentor or teacher or whatever.  Anyways, this guy decides to take me under his wing and teach me his system which I have to say has done pretty good by him.  Alot of your success is mental...can you keep up the discipline and not get emotional...so even with the best coach, it may turn out I dont have what it takes to do well on my own...Im willing to try it out though.

If it all works out, what dumb freaking luck that is.

 

So buy a dog..you never know who you will meet.

I'll have to make Sic read this...he won't let me have a puppy :( I have decided on a breed if he ever lets me though...Tea Cup Pomeranian :D Totally gay doggie...but I'd let him have a manly German Shepard or something to make up for it. :)
