Stocks to Stock

As far as the market is concerned, the past two years have been tumultuous to say the least. After surviving the mortgage crisis, the Bear crisis and a few re-orgs along the way, I decided it's time to do something for me. I have a strong passion for cooking so I enrolled in an amateur culinary course that meets twice a week for 5 hours per class. My goal is to not only become a better cook but to grow as a person, find focus outside of work and an art medium for self expression. For the next 22 weeks I will record my experiences, frustrations and accomplishments in the kitchen as I go from stocks and bonds to stock and fonds.
