On Dec. 2 the long awaited spin off of Freescale Semiconductor happened. I received some shares based on the amount of holdings I had in Motorola. Mr. Zee, if he is the smart man I know him to be, held on to his shares of MOT so he must have received a large chunk of Freescale (FSB) and reaped the benefits of holding stocks long term.
This is all beside the point really, as I owe Mr. Zee a big thank you. He first pointed me in the Motorola direction, along with general investing wisdom, and his advice has proved to be sound, wise, and very fruitful for me.
The Dollar/Euro situation is in flux. Heard some news about this and was wondering what others take on this is. I think it has already been discussed in this forum but have recent indicators changed anyone's outlook etc. Will the EURO replace the Dollar? Will Europe and Japan buy up dollars to prop up the price? Is this a good long-term strategy? Is economic chaos just around the next bend? Etc.
Of course no one really knows firm answers to all this but some ideas may help. I have to decide where to put more IRA money next year or possibly switch some investments around etc.
