Thoughts on shifting balance towards international index fund?
The way I see it, fundamentals of the US economy are in tatters for the foreseeable future. US and international index funds are all tanking at the moment, but I think there are more rational players outside the US than inside. Rational players are good for market. Is this a …
Markets are down to say the least…what are you buying?
Buy low they say. I remember at the beginning of COVID I invested in some stocks and was wishing I had purchased more after the market recovered. Hopefully, the market recovers, but of course we’re in a different situation. Are you going to invest in any stocks? If so, what …
Wall Street is absolutely complicit in this mess!!

Anyone else think this market drop is a good thing?
While I understand a lot of retirees and people close to retirement are going to be hammered in the end this market/asset correction was much needed. In my view the past decade has seen excessive risk taking, over leveraging and irrational exuberance. Bitcoin, AI, real estate prices and the buy …
Why Gold to $3,500 could be a technical (not TA) probability
https://youtu.be/bKB36TbuKAI?si=jVrjGvxbWm5trre_ So with President Trump launching his “Liberation Day” tariffs, uncertainty has taken center stage in financial markets, but this isn’t your typical uncertainty. It’s an “Inception”-style scenario—uncertainty layered within uncertainty—as the global response evolves and markets grapple with unpredictable long-term impacts. As you’d expect, gold, traditionally viewed as a …
