Day 350: Holly Jolly Christmas


Image by amanky
1. happy & hungry…, 2. Santa Smiles, 3. celebratory!
4. sweet dreams…

Wow! what a day… wonderful, amazing, unexpected, and just awesome!

The keen observer has surely noted by now: I have the 40D! It is mine!

How it all has come about is still confusing and unbelievable to even me… but I’ll try to explain it to the best of my excited ability!

On Thursday (I still can’t believe no one caught on to my hint… or maybe they, like me, didn’t want to get too many hopes up!?) I went to the bank [with my "camera only" account] to deposit some birthday monies, and the ORkicker check (measly, for me, promise!) and suddenly saw that the balance was closer than I had thought!

Then I found that Ninendo Wii’s were selling for 0-500 on ebay… and (in case you didn’t know) I had picked one up in the unlikely BlackFriday selection from amazon. Still sitting mostly untouched, totally uninstalled, on my living room floor… it’s easy to see I’d get more use out of a camera, then the Wii, as much as I’d love a Wii… $ towards the camera is more of a priority.
Put an ad on CraigsList and GorgeNetClassifieds. Woke up to a call Saturday, buying the Wii. A local grandpa wanted to have something for the grandkids to play with at their house. he asked me why I was selling, we were both totally upfront.. and next thing I know i have 0 cash in my back pocket, and I’m basically floating about my day in disbelief.

Took the cash to the ATM, and made the deposit, actually freezing up some of the total until after Monday, but I figured I still had to figure out where to get the best deal, any coupons, discounts, bonus points, etc. eeking every bit I could… but once a couple friends heard what was up they all wanted to truck me into town to just get the thing! (still so weird for me to have folks genuinely backing me on something so BIG!)

Finally settled on CircuitCity who has boasted the best price on the whole kit for a good month now… plus, with a AAA discount coupon I could get an extra 10% off. This discounted total rolling out at exactly .72 less than my available balance on the special account! (How you like them apples?!) My original plan was to just get it all together online and do store pick-up. But I was getting errors all afternoon/evening/night… and even ended up trying the phone customer service (but all i got was circles and circles with farmed-out tele-commuters from India who couldn’t proficiently speak english for the task at hand!)

So, to Portland it was, with some determination, trepidation, and constantly underlying prayer the whole afternoon…

Ended up at the Clackamas CircuitCity (due to an extra errand for Jared’s roommate’s parents…) and hit the customer service line mostly immediately (after a quick check to see only ONE kit in stock!) figuring I’d end up there eventually anyway!

The lovely & frazzled Holly called us up to the counter when it was my turn… I calmly shared with her my experience, intentions, and hopes/expectation. (Oh, almost forgot, added extra… just for fun, you know: the price in store was MORE than online!?)

She went scurrying about doing her business… I stood there not fully convinced it would work out. Intermittently encouraging Holly through the craziness, assuring her she was doing everything she could, and we could see that. Apologizing to the growing line behind me… and just holding my breath about it all.

Somehow she worked her magic, pulled out some calculators, and the total pulled up right. Suddenly I had a panic moment, unable to pull out the right bank card… after Elizabeth had math spinning through her head, as did I, I did actually find it, phew! and the transaction cleared.

I quickly signed, tried to share with this unknowing Holly how HUGE it all was, and nabbed up that box in bag… and walked out of the store, trying not to jump TOO high (I had an expensive camera in my hand, after all!

Elizabeth got a shot with her cameraphone in the parking lot… I don’t think the smile wiped off my face until well into sleep mode, late-late-later in the night!

Google and Apple stocks have dropped alot, I assume this would be a good time to buy them.

Answer by Cold
Apple, some of their electronics are made in Japan.
There will be less supply, and perhaps less to sell.
My apple sold this morning at 10 am and not planning to re-buy.

Google is a good buy. Keeping my eye on it.

Answer by money-saving-rv-repair.com
I would be careful buying any stock because it has recently dropped in price. Assuming a stock would rise just because it fell is bad logic. I look at the future and so should you. Is the future of these companies profitable and sustainable. I think yes. If you believe that the price of the stock has dropped below what it should be worth, buy it.

On a personal note, Apple and Google have been considered a good buy at any time in the past few years and I believe it will continue to be a good buy. Both Google and Apple could be slowing down from their extremely rapid growth, but I believe they are growing plenty fast to still say buy it.

Answer by Joseph P
I have been looking at the same thing myself. It certainly is interesting to see how much these companies have fallen of late. Personally, I would avoid AAPL because they will be affected by the events in Japan because some of their parts are manufactured in the region.

Google on the other hand in my view has been falling due to overall market pressures and should rebound once confidence builds in the market once again. I think Google is falling so much because during times of crisis, people tend to pull money out of the stock market. Most people are not willing to withdraw all of their investments so based on psychology, they are going to sell off their most “expensive” investments. At $ 555/share GOOG looks expensive however in reality everything is relative to the number of shares owned. Someone who owns 10 Shares of GOOG has approx the same amount of money invested in WMT if they owned 110 shares. Most people won’t look at the number of shares they own, they’ll just see a 12 point drop in GOOG and get scared!

I’m going to wait a day to see what happens tomorrow and if it looks good I’m going to think about buying the 570 or 580 Calls with April expiration.
