Wow..fast 5 months, although the time goes a little faster when you aren't worrying about layoffs every single work day. Anyway..son finished high school and will attend a life skills school for transition assistance. Spouse is fretting about her job, because she is struggling with her quota. I think her company likes to buy smaller software firms, milk the sales revenue out of them, and then let them fade. Hopefully, I'm wrong about that. TXT is having a nice run, first quarter was weak like normal, but the Beech acquisition will probably be very lucrative, I hope so, because I will need my pension. At 23x earnings it still seems high, if the latitude does not deliver, the stock may get hammered back down.
Like everyone else, I'm waiting for a drop, but I still have a significant amount in equities, just buying through 401k and IRA for now and mostly overseas stuff. One year at current job, seems to be going well. I got tapped for some training this week, because I'm a 'high performer'. Hopefully a summer bonus will follow. Spent a little on the house this spring (new windows), but will defer the car for another year. I love my camry and there is no reason to get rid of it. Probably no vacation again, just a few weekend runs to regional spots. House will be paid for in 2 years, my goal is to have the expensive infrastructure stuff done before I leave IT for good.
