Pensions and Colonoscopies!

How time flies. I remember when conversations with close friends revolved completely around relationships, careers or rather your raison d'etre and other abstract existentialist thoughts always creeping on the edge of spiritualism. Yes, I believe that to be the case. Now though, perhaps the truly important issues of the day are now unclouded by the rampant emotion and idealism that saddled our youth. Don't misunderstand, I am not old!! just wise beyond my years. That has a much more pleasing sound to my ears than the loud tick of passing time that drives forward with too many beats nestled in harsh reality.

So there we were, embracing modern technology with a video conference on Skype. Two good friends just lost in a conversation for the world to intercept and possibly record if so desired. The discussion revolved around pensions and colonoscopies. It was most interesting as we compared and evaluated our experiences. Ahh how times have changed. Okay, okay, I will get to it and save you the expounding of academic tripe as I know you eagerly await the details:

On the issue of pensions we found agreement. To stay vested or expunge the contents is a big and very loaded question. One should explore deeply with an open lens all paths to ensure the smallest particle of obstruction is anticipated and contingencies are in place. Simply, one must choose to stay close to facilities that offer cover when the urge comes for change. Penetration into multiple areas would allow both the diversification and benefit of having your rear covered in the case of unforeseen intrusion by foreign investors. Foreign exposure could compromise your long term assets and make for painful recovery. Yes, exhausting all probes will ensure you make the best decisions concerning to stay vested or release. Some times it takes another set of eyes and hands to explore your inner concerns and bring relief to your business. Yes, taking care of your business will lower your stress and provide for results beyond your expectations. The most important unknown variable will remain will be how far you allow the market to be driven up before you cry "uncle" and concede to your own threshold of pain. Prudent investor's know their limitations though we can all get a little carried away when there are too many irons in the fire... Yes, we are in agreement over pension management, solid decision making on the way in can be the difference of a hard or soft landing though be prepared for downward trends as it takes guts to see some of your hard work go swirling down the toilet!

Regarding colonoscopies, well that is a little too personal for a public blog of this sort. For the
record it emphasized the need for a diversified portfolio of medical professionals.
