I have to get ready for our first investment club meeting of the year. Whenever we take a month or two off, it's hard to get back into the swing of things. Our stock portfolio has taken a beating these past two months. Seems we lost most of what we gained. Not sure if that's good or bad. I guess it could be worse since we could be losing more than what we have gained.
I have to make sure to get copies of the S&P off our broker's site to hand out to everyone to study before the meeting. Walgreen's could be a buy or is the price decline a sign of things to come. Starbucks is way down. That was the darling of our portfolio for the longest time. Have people really stopped buying their daily lattes and switching to McDonald's for coffee. Or has Dunk-in Donuts beat everyone out? So many things to discuss.
The bigger question being should we order Chinese or pizza for the meeting?
