Pfizer

Although I have a great interest in money, I am not that interested in investments. I like my money to grow (who doesn't?), but I don't want to spend a lot of time contemplating about it. And it's not the money in itself, it's what you can do with it.

The other day I got a letter from my bank with an offer "bla-bla-bla-bla-bla, yes we think you should do it"-kinda information. Earlier, I left all these papers and decisions with my brother, and did what I was told, but these days he is less interested in helping me. Or busy occupying Bulgaria.

So I had to read the letter myself. It said my bank was strongly recommending the investment. Apparently Pfizer is selling off one of its pieces of business, involving medicine for animals and veterinary care. My interest immediately peaked. And seeing how people are richer and more inclined to invest in their pets (including me) I jumped at the offer. And so sent the letter of consent in.

Today I got another letter, saying the bank had changed its mind and now the offer is only valid until the 14th of this month, and maybe you should be a bit careful jumping on the ship.

First of all, I thought it was unprofessional of the bank. Second, I thought ok, I sent the consent letter in already and there is little chance I can reply and get my letter recognized in two days, so decided to go with the flow.

Was surprised when I got a call this afternoon, having a brand new bank advisor, who I haven't spoken to before, call me and ask me how I wanted to do.

In the end I decided to invest half of the shares in the animal business. Because I really do believe in the idea, I just don't know how this particular business is run. And lazy as I am, I can't be arsed to find out before it's too late.

Fingers crossed now.
