- Looking forward to Old Pinery
- I don’t want to put all my eggs in one basket but every time I cross paths with Old Pinery, like the email I received yesterday, makes me feel joyful and hopeful.
- We are only going overnight this year because I was just looking for a chance to try it out but we still have the opportunity to set it apart from our other camps by adding an activity and/or going a couple of hours early to make it longer than barely overnight.
- If it does pan out to be an annual family thing I would like to include service there as part of our stay at least in some years.
- I think doing service—putting some of our own effort into maintaining the site—will help our family feel a connection there and want to return.
- I’m grateful that SKM took care of me once again with an out-of-band raise.
- Bless me with my investments.
- Mainly I’m asking that I won’t act foolishly.
- Mostly that means not stirring the pot too often.
- It also means not ignoring the overall market and the performance of my positions.
- Selling 10% of my Nvidia right before its 8% pullback yesterday is an example of a prudent stir.
- I think that I should look toward some consolidation as I move forward—concentrating on core positions and trimming my more speculative holdings.
- How much cash should I hold in the account right now (vs putting that cash into any of my ETFs)?
- Cash is better when things are pulling back. (which I hope doesn’t happen significantly before the election)
- The ETFs are better while things are still growing because they broadly ensure that I keep up with the market.
- I feel settled about what I’ve been doing financially in recent years
Action Items
- Talk to Laura about my hopes for Old Pinery and the need for her to participate in at least that one camp (although coming this year is still optional).
