good to hear from you. I haven't been able to touch my
good to hear from you. I haven't been able to touch my toes for lot longer than you touched your bike. Now, I can!
Been busy getting back to gardening. In 2018 I was in and out of the doctor and dentist office about 15-16 times and something weird happened with my upper legs last year. Got all that behind me so now I can rebuild the raised beds that had been neglected. Nice day out today so gonna work some more on that.
Also much of the last two years strategiizing, studying recessions and figuring out how to reallocate the retirement portfolio to profit from this recession. Closed yesterday at a positive +0.46%YTD, which on face value doesn't look impressive, the SP500 closed down -12.62%. The calculator I built in excel back in 2015 shows that I should only be at -6.0% when the market drops -50%, based on this new allocation.
Battered energy stocks will be worth a look. I figure some fast food chains, too, and auto manufacturers. Maybe we can get some like-minded folks together again and share tips and research after the market bottoms and damage reports done and opportunities identified.
We are the people our parents warned us about!
