Merry Christmas

[Minerbarejet]

Happy Christmas Sharetraders.

It’s been 4 years that I’ve been stalking this forum and I have lots to be thankful for.

· Thanks for living in a great wee democracy, where like this forum, everyone has a point of view worth considering
· Thanks for pointing out investments that I might have otherwise not considered
· Thanks for warning me away from questionable investments, IPO’s and directors
· Thanks for teaching me the tricks of Financial and Trend Analysis
· Thanks for making me question what I thought was the best investment ever
· Thanks for a changing my short-term trading to long-term investment
· Thanks for the ‘Trend is my Friend’
· Thanks for “ride the trend - till the bend in the end’
· Thanks for the fabulous stock picking competition
· Thanks for introducing me to the wisdom of Ben Graham, Warren Buffet, Jim Slater, NZSA and others
· Thanks for greatly improving my financial security and literacy – even in retirement

Thanks to you all, and here’s to another exciting year in 2019.

Umm, is there something I have missed? Do we not get a 2018 or have you written it off already?

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/ta...-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"
---- John Lennon and Yoko Ono

And so this is Christmas
for weak and for strong
The rich and the poor ones,
the road is so long

And so happy Christmas
for black and for white
For yellow and red ones
let's stop all the fights

Its been a great year on the NZX and I hope you're all feeling just as contented with your stock picking and portfolio returns this year as the hound appears to be in this video.
