Now that the little one has arrived, it is time to start to try to get back to normal. I put off taking the 65 until the kid arrived. I am starting study for my Series 65.  From May 1, 1 hour a day, then take the eam at the end of May. I don’t think it will be hard, except for the insurance part.

So here are some stats on the series 65

Time : 3 hours.
Fee : $120.
Sponsorship needed : No.
Pass rate needed : 68.5%.
Calculator / Scratch Paper : No, may be provided.
Where : Prometric Test Centers

And the study notes are here Series 65 Exam

Playing with the kid is much more fun than trading. I cannot believe it has only been two weeks. It feels like I haven’t traded in months. The first couple of weeks with a new baby can be ‘fun’ to say it in a round about way. I am finally getting back to work.

But playing with the baby is more fun.

I have been taking care of the family at the post partum center, so I still have not had time to trade, but I have been watching YouTube during feedings. Here is a video from the stand up economist comedian.

Leaving the hospital tomorrow. I cannot tell you how long it has been. It does not feel like a few days, more like a month. We have national insurance here, and we have five days in the hospital after a birth. It is the right lenght I think. I know some people who were out of the hospital the next day in the US. Here we get a lot fo support, and the nurses come over and teach you how to take care of your baby, and make sure he/she is healthy.

So we are leaving today with the newest member of the family and I will be back to trading on Monday. I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Born at 1:45 in the afternoon. Mother and baby doing well. Somewhat grumpy.
