The Value of My Holdings
I still own some individual stocks and am pretty happy with what I have. But what about the “value” of what I own? Are they still undervalued? Valuation is typically done using a “discounted cash flow” model. We know companies make $X per year, grow at Y%, and we can bring those cash flows back…

I have a goal for my dividend payouts to match my business income. That’s quite a goal, and I expect it will take years for me to reach it. But in the meantime, I will be collecting dividends on the shares I own. I am pretty happy with the income I currently bring in, considering…

Is A Disaster About to Happen?
With the recent stock rally, I was just getting comfortable again. Almost all my holdings are up from their purchase price. And here we go again. There are some rumblings about the next economic disaster on the horizon. Famous investor Michael J Burry (featured in the book and movie, The Big Short) filed a form…

Roller Coaster Going Up
