Dear Mum and Dad,
Into the seventies as they say and a Happy New Year. Mine was spent very quietly at home which is the best thing with the following day's work to come. The balance went well with quite pleasing results. I have also started the year with a lucky profit on shares. I had ordered some Australia at 11 cents as a gamble and the broker came through the next day to say he had bought something else at 19 cents. He realised his error, but I said it was a gamble anyway and took them. Endeavour Oil - they went down to 30 cents the next day. A week ago I sold, but due to the confusion the broker did not know the exact price and later - another error - received a purchase order fo r600! However, the mail confirmation came in today and the sale was done at 71 cents so all is well - a 40% profit on a company that haven't got anything as far as I know - lets hope it isn't another Poseiden. So all in all a good start and lots hope the year continues that way. Hope you do not catch any of the 'flu going around just now, it sounds pretty bad. Am off to walk the dog. He keeps pretty trim but is missing the family so I make a bit of a fuss of him.
Cheerio for now and love
Peter
