Twas The Night Before Christmas
Be Thankful For What You Have
In the past I’ve taken Clement C. Moore’s poem, “Twas The Night Before Christmas” and made it my own. After all, at heart I’m a very sarcastic individual but things are a bit different this year.
I’m 68 and I hear it’s time to give back. OK, I’m doing that on Substack and LinkedIn so far, with a book, ‘The Ticker’s Bible” and several courses on Udemy set to hit early next year. That’s enough, right? To a degree yes but more so it’s just a start.
I’ve alluded to my better half quite often. Being a “two-time” happily divorced person, the last thing I expected was to find my soul mate later in life. Well, I did and certainly that’s something to be thankful for. The fact that she has three sons makes it better so again, thanks; I’m a lucky man, but there’s more.
I’m thankful for you, all of you, for adopting what I preach. Face it, there’s many styles of investing out there and I should know; I read and listen to everyone. There is not a day that goes by that someone isn’t trying to sell me something on LinkedIn. There’s a couple that are interesting and you’re going to hear about them next year after I have had a chance to “kick the tires”. I didn’t stay in this industry for 55+ years and not look at everything and anything changing. I practice what I preach and you should too.
Keep those ideas flowing folks and enjoy the time you have with family, friends even a few enemies this weekend and coming week. 2024 is right around the corner. Best to all for a happy holiday season and a happy, healthy new year. After all, if you have your health you have everything.
Perry Como had a way with “song” and also a way with “words”. In this rendition of Clement C. Moore’s poem, “Twas The Night Before Christmas”, Perry brings to light the miracle of Christmas. It’s a wonderful time regardless of your religious beliefs so sit back and enjoy your time with family and friends; leave the world behind. My best to you all for a happy holiday season and a happy, healthy new year.
