As of today, shamelessly shopping stores sales, my freezer is full of meat for the winter, all my favorite cuts, all bought on the cheap, a vertible cornicopia for one who loves to cook as I do... Aside from the fresh turkey for Thanksgiving, it's all there.
I've engineered several successful financial ventures, but none yet has given me the same, intrinsic pleasure that *lining one's nest* does... *wiggling bottom... fluff-fluff-fluff... *cluck-cluck-cluck*... hehehe...
One can never miss what one has never had...without a can opener, my mother was never able to put anything on the table...with my darlin' wife, it's the microwave...sigh.
As for stock, it was about my turn with my experiences with Quest, Corning Glass (GLW), and Montana Power (MTP).
