Done!

I've been trying to put a brave face on the recent machinations of the stock market, which is another way of saying I've been too chicken to do anything about the fact that the market is in the toilet, along with what one might laughingly call my portfolio.

Until today.

For me, a bird in the hand today is literally worth two in the bush (auld lang syne and putatively someday yet again, if you believe what you hear).

Cheers...

It is a rather risky plan, especially considering the size of fire storms in Australia every summer, and certainly a retirement plan rather than a "get rich quick" scheme. It sitting in the back of my mind only because I would really like to buy / live on an acreage one day (though not for at least 5-10 years), and it would be relatively simple to plan such trees on a couple of acres.

The cabinet timbers do sell well though. People always want expensive, beautiful furniture, and it has to grow somewhere, right?..
