My portfolio

OMG I'm so bored right now. I'm sitting here clock watching and I got like freaking 3 HOURS to go! I can't. So I decided to blog in the meantime. Maybe this will kill 20 minutes if I'm lucky. But what to talk about?
...?...?... Ok got something.

Earlier this week, or maybe late last week, I can't remember, I was having a conversation with someone about investments. Not the typical type of investment that you may think, say in terms of money or the stock market. But emotional investment. It just so happened that the whole money and stock analogy fit in very well. So questions to you all (all 2 of you) is what determines if you become emotionally invested in a person? Is it by choice? Involuntary? or a combination of both? How do you keep from making bad investment decisions? Stocks? bonds? Mutual funds? Do you diversify your portfolio and invest in multiple areas?

Personally I have never found myself invested in more than one opportunity (or in-opportunity) at a time. That might be the one area I'm incapable of multitasking at. In terms of the voluntary or involuntary, eh, I'm not sure. For example, if I meet a nice guy (or more realistically someone who ain't shit) maybe get to know them a little and there is something that I find attractive about them, you might be able to say that I "like" them, at least a lil. Call it a crush, or infatuation I don't really care. But I would consider the attraction part involuntary. Of course this doesn't equal investment. However, the climate for investment opportunities just got that much more favorable simply off of attraction.

In my mind though, just because I like you, that doesn't mean a damn thing. Doesn't mean I'd date you. Doesn't mean I'll sleep with you. It doesn't even mean I'mma talk to you. It means nothing. It just is what it is. If nothing comes from it, I'll get over it. Then it's on to the next one (which out here could be months if not years in between).

Now as for poor investment decisions, I definitely have my fair share in the past, comparatively speaking. Pretty much every guy I have ever invested in has either played me or turned out to be a disappointment in one way or another. It's really only recently that I feel I might actually be learning from these mistakes. The only problem with learning from them is that it may make it that much more difficult for the next dude to get any sort of buy-in.

Before I kind of always wanted a relationship. Or I was in some way searching for someone whether it be actively or passively. Today though, I think I can honestly say IDGAF. Single, not single - who cares. No dates in idk how long - so what. Nothing but lames and losers trying to get at me (if anybody at all) - pfft whatever. I'm done caring about this stuff. It could be this attitude that ultimately causes me to be some kind of childless, manless old maid/cat lady with no cats. Eh... F it. Right now I'm good with me. I have a stress free, drama free, carefree, responsibility and obligation free life. I can do whatever the hell I want. That right there, sounds pretty damn good to me.

But back to investments... I'm not opposed to investing. Not at all. I just need to find a good stable mutual fund. Maybe I should seek the help of a financial adviser. So when the time comes to plan for retirement, I can invest wisely. Until then, I may research the opportunities that come my way. Maybe drop a couple dollars here or there, just nothing I can't afford to lose if the market crashes.
