Dan is the embodiment of a perma-bull huh?
Well, I too feel a lot of gratitude for this place. My one constant for 8 years. I've lived in different countries, different cities, been broke, had money, been sick, been healthy... life has been a roller coaster for 8 years. But I was had my little blog to come back to, to reflect on the traveled path, and friends I could reach out to as well.
I'm glad you are still around too bro.
On the investing front. I got nothing to buy the dip with, so I'm just active, and working. But if I did have some, I would be whaling up right about now.
