When I initially set out to define my investment goals, I had bought into a prevalent belief: time in the market beats timing the market. And that’s generally true. Schwab published a study that showed that someone with absolutely perfect timing – investing $2000 at the low point of the index every year – just…
Another of my worst investments (in a portfolio not covered by this blog) is in a company called Nutrien. Nutrien is a Canadian-based global agricultural company that provides a range of products and services to farmers and other agricultural industry stakeholders around the world. The company was formed in 2018 through the merger of PotashCorp…
Did I call the market bottom? Lol. No, I most certainly did not. But in my last post, I wondered when the pain would end. And talked about how the indexes trade within a channel either up or down over a period of time. Almost immediately, we’ve had a week of relief with the stock…
The stock market didn’t like the inflation number today; everything is down 4-5%.

Friday: Monday morning futures: Should be an interesting day.
A pretty ambitious post idea. But I have said a few times on this blog that I like almost all of my current stock holdings. So why not recheck them, one by one, to see if I still feel that way? I’m doing just one of my accounts in this post. In a future post,…
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.
