Catching Up

I'm finally going to tally up the net asset value for this year, after forcing myself not to do it on a monthly basis. I don't think I will keep this up, because I feel it's caused me to lose focus, but I'm glad I held out to see how it would go. I simply prefer to have a better grip on the bottom line.

While it should take a day or so to sift through my various accounts and add the totals, things have been moving on a number of other fronts lately.

$$$

Proxy season: Voted four proxies today, and signed up to have them sent electronically in the future. I voted the exact opposite of the board's recommendation. It won't matter for an individual investor like me, anyway, but dissent is good.

$$$

House: Finally got a counter-offer, but we're still in hard-core negotiations. I feel like we have some leverage, but I want to be sure not to overplay whatever hand we have.
