Sunday Morning Coffee

The money quote from the Barron's 2012 Mid Year Round Table came from Fred Hickey talking about Zynga (ZNGA);

It is dangerous when a virtual hammer sells for more than a real one. 

There was also an ETF Round Table that intended to focus on alternative ETFs but a lot of pixels were devoted on exemptive relief which is probably not too helpful of a topic for investors as opposed to industry insiders. Perhaps most interesting was that there were no comments on the ETF Round Table article.

I meant to put this picture on yesterday's post about infrastructure but just as I was finishing up we got dispatched for a medical call that involved carrying a very large patient up hill in a Stokes basket for about a quarter of mile so when I got back I just spell checked and published.

Hi Roger

Your blog is among the most thoughtful I have found. And based on this I have considered calling your investment company or using your ETF when
it starts.

However, I have been increasingly struck by the amount of time you spend on vacation and especially the avocation you constantly discuss. Not to mention the other outlet posting you mention. Makes me wonder how much time you actually spend on business and how available you are to react to changing events. Just something to consider...

time management, delegation and being away from home is not the same as being on vacation. I have very rarely missed a market day (don't remember well enough to say never but it is pretty close to never).
