Last Tuesday, August 18th, the market began the first of eight consecutive days of gains in the Dow. Unfortunately, I was severely underinvested at that time, so I haven't been able to participate much. Also on August 8th, I began a 14 day course of antibiotics, so during this same period I've not been able to participate in some significant revelry with my friends.
I've watched Telecom Systems surge past $9 a share, while I sold it for the last three months in the low $7's. And I've seen a blues band, watching my friends enjoy a few beers while I had water. I saw Boeing surge 8% in one day, peaking (so far) at $10 more than I sold it at earlier this month and I hosted a party, serving everyone but myself Belgium beer, bloody mary's and bourbon. I've also passed up several after work happy hours and watched most of my target stocks top their 2009 highs while I didn't own them.
Wow, talk about missing the boat! The good news is that my antibiotics end next Tuesday, so I look forward to great buying opportunities starting then. We'll see.
