Burt got us out of the market. He had been a stocks and options broker and had happily traded for many years.
As the LBD wracked him, he became leery of trading in the markets. I think he recognized, on some level, how complicated it all was. And under his new circumstances, that he was having a difficult time dealing with complexities.
He always liked bonds, and had invested in government paper at some point. Bonds offered a fixed income. I think that was part of the attraction. It was pretty easy work, too. Fixed income for a fixed amount for a fixed time.
With the recent turmoil on Wall Street, I can only be thankful to Burt for leaving me with some financial stability in chaotic times.
Just one more way in which Burt looked out for me. Today, a friend and neighbor said you kept him going. As she saw my eyes wellup, she added she knew He kept you going, too.
this is our life
