Lanny’s Recent Purchase – EMR

Well.. the market keeps saying- buy me, buy me, and there are opportune stocks everywhere at the moment, in my book.  I took advantage of a recent price slide on a stock that many have been purchasing over the last month, including the one and only – Bert.  I took a page out of his book and couldn’t be more thankful that he founded them in his screener and made my life a little easier.  Thanks again Bert for doing that, I appreciate it.  I had capital that finally was able to transfer over, now let’s see who, how much and why I bought this stock.

Running on Thin Ice

Running on thin ice – you know exactly what this post is about everyone?  I know, very ambiguous and disguise-like, but it’s how I’ve been running over the last 5-6 months.  This year has had many events, opportunities and actions that has had me running on thin ice, but for some reason – it’s becoming less and less “scary”.  What do I even mean about running on thin ice, one may be asking?  One slight cue – it deals with cash. And not simply just cash but… Continue reading
