February 8: We went to Cerritos so the kids could attend a birthday party for one of the kids in Mayma's neighborhood. So, we stopped at Target on Del Amo Blvd. to pick out a gift. I found a penny at checkout.
My wife and I went to see the movie, NEW IN TOWN with Rene Zellwenger. Surprisingly, it was a cute and funny movie. You'll notice that all the factory workers are White people. In fact, the film only had Caucasians in the film. I found that a little strange for today's style of film making. I wonder what the critics has to say? Anyway, good film about romance and hard working Americans. The guy who played the Dad in "JUNO" was a real hoot.

Time to change the FMJ monthly report.
Starting in 2009, we will only post a full accounting of the FMJ fund on a quarterly basis. As the stock market is in a deep depression, the turmoil is not worthy of keeping up. We will hope for better days and a return to more normative investing patterns. We will continue to invest all funds in real estate investment trust and also start picking up shares of Ford and Back of America.
Currently, the FMJ and B&C Funds have investments three stocks - PEI, GRT & UDR.
