I am about to lie on the couch at work with the main light off, a lamp behind me and a blanket on.
I plan on reading AT&Ts annual report cover to cover. We own the stock.
I hope not to fall asleep.
Being a hedge fund manager is not entirely glamorous.

A bit off tangent here:
ReplyDeleteWe spend so much time reading. It's killing my eyes. My eyes always feel strained and stressed together the end of the day.
Any tips?
this is my favourite of all your short posts
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteDon't you work in Sydney?
Didn't you post this at a little past 2 in the afternoon?
That sounds not bad.
Do you start at the beginning? I start at executive/board comp to amuse myself.
ReplyDeleteI would guess, from the phrase "cover to cover" that John reads annual reports in the pro's way - from the back cover (usually the contingent liabilities note) to the front.

Which part of this is not glamorous? It sounds so exciting!!!
A good way to prevent eye strain:
ReplyDeleteEvery half hour or so, look into the distance for 30 seconds. Hopefully there's a window where you work; in the Financial District I used to gaze out across the river to Brooklyn.
Sounds dumb, but it works.
Mate, my OB is in your building. It's not the hardship you are making it out to be...settle in with a coffee, stare out the window..
ReplyDeleteMan up, John.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you own the stock BEFORE reading the annual report?
ReplyDeleteI have looked at prior annual reports. But I own a lot of stocks - and I do not read EVERY annual report cover to cover.
ReplyDeleteIndeed often time is better spent reading stuff I do not know. And there are only so many hours in the day.
Rational money management involves rational time management.
Half or full position? Perhaps you should relax one day with a nice cigar.
