I haven't posted in a few days because we've been on grandbaby watch. I'm happy to say that the wait is over and I’m off to Chicago first thing in the morning to visit our newest grandbaby, who was born today. (A boy named Colin, 8 lbs., 7 oz.)

I know that the market waits for no man, but part of being able to leave at a moments notice is properly preparing your portfolio to sit for a few days. I'm confident that I'm in the right stocks, for the right reasons, at the right time and that's why I'm not even going to log on to my accounts to do any tinkering.

Can you say the same for your portfolio? I hope that you can and if not, start thinking about it today so that your children and grandchildren can not only count on you to be there for life's important moments, but that you're free from worry to enjoy those moments.
