While most people are out getting the last of their shopping done, I have been busy sitting in front of the computer all morning.  No, I haven’t been playing games or anything, but rather I have been watching the money markets.

Specifically, I am looking for the right point to sell the gold that I invested most of my retirement money in just six months ago.  Though some people thought it was a risky move, all the numbers suggested that it would go up, and as it turns out I was right.

But since we will be going away for a holiday shortly, I just don’t want to hold onto the gold anymore, and I will be selling the gold today.  That way, I can go on vacation without having the need to look at the price of gold throughout the day instead of sitting on the beach enjoying the sun.

I know that some of my friend suggested that I don’t sell everything, but deep down, I just don’t feel that leaving some in and being greedy is the right thing to do.  Sure, I could make a little more money, but at the same time I could lose more too.

Based on the sizable return that I have made, I am not too worried as to how much more I can make – what I have made so far will give me a nice retirement nest-egg.
