I wish my LG Dare was able to send my location automatically to Google Maps when I bring it up on my phone. It doesn't compete with turn-by-turn systems, but it is a nice feature. Also, my GRMN position is down 13%. So I suck at investing here. :) I'm holding like every other down stock in my portfolio. I'm a sucker. FWIW, some background: I have a relatively small amount in my IRA compared to what we'll be able to contribute this year and next and so on. So while I'm nearly 100% invested in my IRA, I'm treating it like 50% because I'll be able to put a bunch more in before next April. I have some longterm time frames in mind. For the past couple years, we've been investing in our business and the house we just bought and haven't been able to put as much into retirement accounts as we have in the past... a decision that maybe deserves its own attention.
