[minimoke]

Thank you to all those of you whose posts I have read, analysed and digested along with the rest of my own research. I am swimming in a sea of heavenly blue upticks and a new portfolio that will allow me to splurge on more than sausages to go in my white bread at christmas.

Merry Christmas to all of you as well.

Personally 2017 was a great year - overall awesome portfolio returns which lead into selling off half of it to be able to purchase my first home.

White bread - great choice. Much easier to spot the mould.

Merry Christmas, I have learnt a lot from everyone this year and hope to keep up the learning next year:)

Hope next year is just as prosperous as this one has (mostly) been !

[Southern_Belle]

Merry Christmas to all. Has been a cracker week to finish the year. Special thanks to Percy for arranging the CHCH sharetraders get togethers.
Prosperous New Year to ALL!!!!

Merry Christmas to all, am constantly amazed at the wealth of knowledge on here, many thanks to the many who patiently share their insights to help others.

Merry Christmas to everybody on this forum, but especially to

the many posters on here who provide with their posts food for thought and help me and others this way to become better investors
the experts on this forum who freely share their knowledge and expertise with us
the active investors who work either in the NZSA or in ad hoc groups with other investors and boards and make NZ a better place to invest
the posters who use the political threads for constructive discussions respecting democratic principles (no matter whether we agree or not - you need always both sides for a fruitful discussion). People like you give life to our democracy and make NZ a better place to live
to the Trump and BREXIT supporters. While you might feel currently miserable and lonely in your imploding bubble ... life goes on, and they say there is always an opportunity for redemption ;); There are so many more good people outside your bubble - just find the courage and take the leap ...


From an investors perspective - this was the best year for me since I make a living from my investments (and I couldn't really complain about the years before either ;)); From a citizens perspective - I am glad that at least our (local) democracy still works, and while I am no big fan of the new government - I do see as well the good things they are doing. Not worried about New Zealand. All the best to the new government!

Taking a more international perspective - while we are used to have crooks and scumbags as leaders of many banana (and other) republics, it hurts to see what once used to be the leader of the free world competing with the scum for the lowest level of decency. It hurts as well to see a once flourishing UK so busy to support their rednecks and political liars that they forget to do whats good for their people. Division instead of unity appears to be the theme of the year - these are developments which worry me.

They say it is darkest before dawn ... lets hope that this is NOW. We don't need still more selfish idiots and populists destroying the fabric of our western society, but we need more democrats and decent people to run the world. And we need the free world to grow and to stand together instead of one big bully destroying it all - supported by his crooked friends.

Lets hope for a better 2018 and strive together against corruption, populism, stupidity and for a better and more decent world for our children and grandchildren!

Happy New Year everybody! There always is hope!

Great post and yes indeed a good time of year to count one's blessings.
Speaking of things free and blessings lets not forget what this time of year really celebrates, the free gift of salvation through the birth of Jesus Christ https://godsabundantblessings.com/tag/how-wide-how-long-how-high-and-how-deep-gods-love-is/ from whom the best blessings come.
Remiss if speaking of things free that bless us if we didn't thank Admin, Vince, and STMOD for their work behind the scenes too.

"So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun.

And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young.

A very Merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear"

And so happy Christmas

For yellow and red ones
