That's definitely the route I'm going. I'm taking a "sabbatical" of sorts right now, enjoying some time with my family, and considering what I want to spend my time doing. Thanks Jose.

The best example is the recent <a href="http://www.dividendium.com/blog/the-turkey-got-the-axe-again/" rel="nofollow">turkey post</a> that points out that people who used the index fund investment philosophy for the last 13 years have zero gains to show for it...and people who started 11 years ago have 75% of their money right now. And none of that is considering any kind of purchasing power losses due to inflation.

And like I said, the Dividend listings and services on Dividendium will continue to work indefinitely. I'm just not going to focus my time on stock investing anymore, so this blog is going to go in a different direction.

I completely agree with you. Whatever I work on needs to be something I have an interest in and find valuable. That's exactly why I've decided not to continue with stock investing...I have no interest in it anymore. Thanks for the comment, Frank. I completely agree with you.
