Phoebe now has a cousin Zosia in England who is three weeks younger (as well as
cousin Theo in Scotland who is five weeks older). I expect at some point they will get into mischief together.

A brief note of self-congratulation: on
April 2, 2007, I told my brother-in-law, and also some random stranger on the street, to invest in Anheuser-Busch. At that time BUD stock was about $50/share.
This week the sale of Anheuser-Busch to InBev N.V./S.A. was completed for $70/share. In the intervening time, BUD stock also paid out $2.35/share in dividends (the final 37 cents of which should be received in a few weeks).
So, the investment returned about
+44% in 20 months. Hurrah! In the same time period, the Dow Jones Industrials (for example) returned
-35% including dividends.
My new public investment pick is Nam Tai Electronics (NTE).
