In 1999 I went from $ 100k in my portfolio up to $ 675K and then back down to $ 150k. It was a roller coaster that left me so fried in the brain I completely exited the stock market and never looked back. I won't go there again. Real estate investments in Canada, Thailand, Panama and the USA has been much more reliable and profitable. It's tangible, its a piece of land, you work it, increase its value and sell it.
As much as stocks makes up the fundamental building block of capitalism the way the market is manipulated by traders working algorithms makes me steer clear. There is something parasitic and messed up with it. Most small time investors are just pawns licking up a few scraps.
Patiently awaiting the pathogens. Our resiliency resembles an invasive weed. We are the Kudzu Ape
