Sunday Morning Coffee

No real post this morning, we had a long day down south with some friends and did not get home until late.

The first picture was our destination for the day. I used to work with Anitra (on the right). She and her husband Trond (he is from Norway) own an eco resort called Lova Lava Land that they have been working on getting up and running.

At the same time we visited, they were hosting their first guests, a threesome doing something very interesting. They are on a 50 states in 52 weeks trip to seek out and create
awareness of green/eco issues. Hawaii is state number 18.

You can check out their site at Yert.com to see what their are doing and check out their weekly videos.

As I understood it Mark was the catalyst, he got in touch with Ben through the Stanford alumni network and Ben's wife Julie wanted to participate too. Good luck guys.

On our way to visit with everyone we stopped at Punalu'u Black Sand Beach. We hung out for a couple of hours and saw four turtles in all.

Check back tomorrow for normal stock market blogging.

Roger,

I have not seen you blog in a few months, but I did write back in the spring about how I was in foreign for 25% and you clearly thought that was VERY high unless I was a big risk taker. May I ask why now that Foreign is up BIG this year you are now heavy in Foreign and speak as if you were in heavy before the jump?? I can't see how you could have gotten the big jump I and others had this year as you were skimish at that point. I am saying I think you stretch the truth on where your at and what your doing until it looks good then you were in weeks ago. That's not fair. I do not mean to be rude with this as I am just hoping you can see that people read your thoughts and some may follow so being more open is good. When USA market was down at a point a year ago you said you were breaking even, then market went up 10% and you were now up 25%. Everyone wants to be a expert, yet isn't it just good to be human and make mistakes?? Don't take this post as a insult, it is not meant that way!

your comment makes no sense to me. I have been 30% or more foreign since b4 I started this web site. I cannot envision a scenario where I ever responded to a 25% weighting in foreign as being very high.

Here is a post from 2004 where I disclose 30% foreign.

Your comment is so baffling that I think you have the wrong blogger.

just noticed the rest of your comment. I have no recollection of claiming being up 25% unless it was a multi year period.

You can feel free to tell on what day I made that comment.

This comment makes even less sense now.
