My money got deposited in my account on Wednesday, but by the time I found out it was was too late to contact my broker before he left for the long holiday weekend. I'll call him Monday.

I'm taking the opportunity to brush up on my accounting knowledge and get better at reading and (more importantly) interpreting financial statements. I bought Reading Financial Reports for Dummies which takes a surprisingly real-world (read: cynical) approach. I like it! :)

Meanwhile I keep hoping my mom will get through to my dad on the importance of this. She asked me to send her the paperwork, and I'll do that this weekend.
