To accompany a cup of coffee, here is a selection of articles gathered from around the Web this week:
Berkshire Hathaway 2014 AGM
… for those of you who couldn’t make it to Nebraska yesterday, for the annual Woodstock of capitalism.
Berkeley Group
DIY Investor goes for Berkeley.
To sell in May or not
I couldn’t bring myself to sell my Glaxo shares just because the calendar ticks around to a certain month but, if ever wanted to sell everything and do something else with you money, waiting until 30 April to do it would seem to make sense.
Do you look back after a trade?
I try not to look upon purchases as trades, but I do think it is important to look back and be honest with yourself about your decisions – not too soon though!
What’s the bigger sacrifice – living below your means or working for most of you life?
A stark question. The ideal solution would be to find a job that you genuinely enjoy. But how many jobs are enjoyable for more than one decade?
Is early retirement selfish?
If it is not an option, we may as well enjoy a bit of self-righteousness about our labouring!
FI,
Thanks for including me here. Much appreciated!
And I agree that having a job you love is a fantastic way to reach a kind of middle ground, but how many jobs out there are fun for 20-30 years? Becoming financially independent allows one to pursue enjoyable activities regardless of pay, and that’s a nice position to be in! 🙂
Best wishes.
Thx for the mention, enjoy your weekend!

I’m glad you enjoyed my article!
I liked your article regarding AstraZeneca. I found it informative for my analysis of PFE.
Thanks for stopping by. I might have a decision to make regarding Pfizer myself if the politicians allow this takeover to go through.
