Happy Holidays!

Wishing you the best of the season from the moneygardener, and a successful 2010!

2009 Was A Great Year to Be A Stock Market Investor!
  • While cowards fell by the wayside, the S&P 500 index has risen 24% for the year and has nearly doubled since the March low
  • Some of the equities that we own are trading at or near their all time highs
  • Leveraged investments into the heart of the late 2008 / early 2009 plunges have been paying mostly stable dividends and interest rates have remained low
  • All signs are pointing to an improvement in dividend growth in line with general economic activity
  • Our net worth has exploded over 30% while we've been doing a poor job of saving money
  • All financial media outlets are preaching caution with your money, your mortgage, and your life.......the most bullish sign yet!

Australian Red Wine Roundup (moneygardener recommends)

  • Wolfblass Red Label Cabernet Merlot 2008
  • Rosemount Shiraz Cabernet 2008

Happy Holidays MG.

FYI - Both of those wines are from Foster's Group, the maker of Australia's "finest" beer.

Cheers!
