Finally, time to enjoy my interests again

Ok. First some stock news that probably won't interest most people.

VMG has been dropping recently with a lot more sellers than buyers.  I still think it's a good stock, and I suspect it may have bottomed out at around 33 cents now that buyers are moving in in numbers.  They are nearly as many buyers as sellers now and the buy side is really surging.  I got in again at 33 cents.

ASZ is also still good and I will stick with it, but I kind of wish I had bailed out around $1.50 now that it has fallen to around $1.15.  I could then have re-invested at the lower price.

AUT, however, is just going great guns and that is defraying losses over the past couple of weeks on stocks like ASZ, VMG, and PVE (which I might end up selling towards the end of the year just to realise a loss.)

I'm now just about fully invested again, having picked up more of VMG and a bit of KKT (which had dropped unreasonably in my view and seems to be doing reasonable business.)  In the time when I was unsure of where I would be living I was keen to have more cash on hand.

I have been quite dismayed by the reaction of some Wikileaks supporters to the rape charges currently being faced by Julian Assange.  Whatever your view on wikileaks (I tend to view it in more of a negative light) I suspect the people lining up to proclaim the women charging their hero with rape as liars or CIA stooges would never disparage or mock a rape victim if the alleged attacker was anyone else.  I don't know anything about the charges, so I am keeping quiet about them and I'm happy to allow Swedish justice to take it's course.  I wish Assange's supporters would refrain from shooting their mouths off when they have no more access to the facts than anyone else.

I've put together a spreadsheet showing how much rowing i have to do to complete my 200km challenge.  At the moment I am at nearly 65km and just yesterday I did over 11km.  I've taken to doing shorter sets of rowing mixed with other exercises which doesn't give me a sore ass like rowing for 30 minutes straight does.  I do have a bit of a sore right heel though for some reason.

Finally, I thought this article was quite good.

Ha yep. The anticonformity thing was pretty hilarious.

You'd think if the whole thing was a total set up they'd choose something a LOT easier to prove and prosecute...but anyway..I need to step away on that one and stop following because of the rage.

I noticed you had a rant about the same subject.

There is something very unseemly about mocking a rape victim, or even an alleged rape victim. It's galling how some people have put aside their principles for convenience.
