kosice, slovakia

folks, i had a great great time in my birth city kosice in slovakia! visited family and most of my remaining friends there .... of course, im mostly staying in touch only with folks i regularly meet in the internet (viva facebook!) ... there is soooo much to say ... a picture tells more than 1,000 words, isnt it? lets try it out, lets move 2 picasa for more than 48,000 words of explanation :-)

i'm ready for the take-off

i'm thinking about vacation on bali / indonesia ... but have to wait 4 more weeks till take-off :-)

we've just booked a hotel and breakfast, so there will be plenty of opportunities to go outside and see the life out there + visit some temples, volcanoes, rice fields, komodo dragons, ... and maybe also jakarta/java, but i'm not sure if jakarta is not toooo far away ...

we'll look at the offers from local travel agencies .. and i hope we will see a many new + interesting people + things there :-)

cheaper than expected vacation => some funds 4 gold/silver available soon?

folks, folks, folks! my wife has booked our summer holidays now ... and the winner is ... is ... bali /indonesia :o). well, i'm looking forward to spend 3 weeks in south-east asia again (have been to thailand many years ago). komodo dragons, we are coming soon!

it was much cheaper than expected! pls, don't ask me with how many 'stars' was our vacation cottage rated, ok? btw, our eldest daughter proposed to contribute some money to our family's vacation cash-box just in order to allow us to choose a more interesting holiday destination than the usual mediterranean sea. what a child, isn't it? ... do i understand this situation correctly if i hope that there could be some funds left 4 additional addendum 2 our gold/silver stocks soon?

let's think how to invest 1,000 - 2,000 €uros in our commodity / hard assets column As Smart As Possible (=: asap, or more precisely my investing based redefinition of that famous acronym :-). what about physical silver, silver-ETFs, commodity stocks, renewable energy, nanotechnology ... any suggestions yet?

btw, do you also feel that komodo sounds exact the same as commoditities :D ... hmmm, is that a hint of fate 2 buy more commodities, isn't it?

2 weeks on holiday ....

... and the financial markets survived also without my steady attention ... isn't it crazy? i wouldn't believe it :o)

well, we've been in slovakia + poland visiting my and my wife's family, our children had some pleasure to meet their cousins, aunts, uncles, grandpas + grandmas, so they welcomed the opportunity to speak polish ... i hope they will not forget that languauge completely when they get older ...

folks, SK + PL are quite cheap countries (especially when lodging @ family's houses :o), so i could invest some surplus money in few of my favorite stocks + 3 new companies:

• scorpio mining - Zn, Cu, Ag, Pb
• novagold - Au
• constitution mining - Au, Cu - new
• amerigo resources - Cu, Mo
• cardero res. - Fe
• penn west energy - oil, natural gas
• wacker chemie - chemicals, solar industry - new
• logitech - IT hardware - new
• barrick gold - Au

=> good luck, my lovely portfolio addendum!
