Adams note on the exchange rate has reminded me to finish a half done update I worte a while ago…
_______________________

I need to sell my shares (to pay for an upcomming wedding).

Now I first looked at doing this in October when my shares were at a 3 year high, but the
NZ exchange rate had bottomed out so I decided to wait.

After few weeks I decided I’d sell regardless, But for some reason, this never happened – prehaps lack of motivation, prehaps I didn’t give it enough consideration, or prehaps I was busy elsewhere.

Then out of the blue, the
exchange rate bounced back, but the share price dropped…

Actually, make that Plummeted.

Suddenly I’m interested in both exchange rate and share prices – I check both most days to see whats happened overnight, waiting to see good news.

Today it occured to me as strange that things only become really interesting when they are about to, or have just gone wrong. I mean, you dont really pay attention to things until then.

You only start looking for the horse once it has bolted, they arn’t that exciting when they are safe in their stables.

So, naturally my next thought was – how can I exploit this…

I wonder if I made things go wrong around me, would that make me more interesting?

At least I would have plenty of stories to tell at parties…
