Weekend Recap
January 17, 2005 @ 02:21 AMGood morning, everyone!
I hope you weekends were all well! Mine was busy, as usual, but fun! Of note: my father spoke at Clearview Foursquare this weekend. I went to listen, and of course it was very good! He’s like me in that he’ll be second-guessing the way he said various things for a while probably… but from an observers point of view, it was very good! On “Law and Grace”, basically old-testiment vs. new-testiment focus and what changed between the two. My favorite line likened the crucifiction to a risky investment in us from God. Investing grace (or the offer thereof) – essentially – with the risk of one not accepting it. I hope to have an audio file up soon of the lecture, tho I’m having temporary issues acquiring it from the church.
Speaking of investing, on a slightly smaller scale….
I’m currently invested into two main stocks… Apple Computer and Environmental Energy Services. I mention that because Apple Computer (AAPL) is doing very well… I bought last week at $62, and we’re up over $70. I suspect that they have peaked, however. I will likely hold on for the rest of the week to see what the stock does before making any decisions.
Environmental Energy Services is an odd one. It’s a low-cap unlisted stock (EESV.PK). I bought 80,000 shares at basement prices, and as usually happens, the value of the stock dropped 80% since I picked it up a few months ago. They have no continuing operations and are currently attempting to buy into Alaskan energy contracts (oil/gas). With 80,000 shares bought at bargin prices, it wouldn’t take much of an upswing to make significant profits. I’ll keep you all informed on that.
I’m meeting up with my real-estate agent later this week. We’re going to go over what it is I would like to do moving forward, so that should be a good discussion. I think, ultimately, I would like to either buy a rental or rent out my current place and buy a new place. Something to keep the money moving and doing something for me.
Anyway, let’s call that good for now! I’m still trying to figure out why I can’t send pictures to my computer from my phone anymore. Once I figure that out, I’ll start uploading more photos of everyday life. :)
