Writer's Block

"Writers block is a fancy term made up by whiners so they can have an excuse to drink alcohol." - Steve Martin

Dear Friends and Readers, apologies for the relatively lengthy hiatus, but lately I have been distracted and humbled in the act of writing. Specifically, I have not been writing as frequently for a number of reasons, namely:

- Not having much of interest to say;

- Being exhausted and thoroughly frustrated with the partisan political wrangling and inane commentary on the financial markets;

- Enjoying the last days of summer with my family and a few good books;

- Forcing myself to focus on the big picture; life, happiness, and the pursuit of the perfect portfolio.

So with this post I have resorted to the last desperate act of a blocked writer...writing about writer's block. 

Fortunately, for me at least, I have been bitten by my muse, and I have several subjects to write on. More importantly, over the next several months you'll be witness to a reenergizing of Rockhaven Capital Management. Hopefully you'll find it as exciting, and more importantly useful, as I believe it will be. 

It is frustratingly hard to be an investor and saver in today's world. My overriding goal is to try and help as many people as possible, understand and hopefully prosper, in these chaotic times. 

Please enjoy your final days of summer, the markets and all their craziness will still be there when you return.

Be careful out there, and keep the lights on,
