    “Last Month’s Best Fund”. I think I’m going to start tracking that again. I was busy and unable to keep it current a few years ago- but I think now is a good time to throw that back into my strategy considerations. Nobody else is tracking that right now, correct? I think it’s about to be...

    Still not sure what the market is going to do- but it’s a new month, and two fresh moves I can make. Exercising one today: Jumping in with : C= 35% S=. 35% I = 30%. As of the end of the day today. That I is looking a little better to me, because the rest of the world seems to be taking...

    Well bummer. The chart is looking nice for a quick uptick- but I just tried the “less that 1% 3rd move” and it no longer works. I will have to wait until June 1 and reassess. Oh well- it’s been a while since I used it, but it clearly doesn’t function like it used to. I sure wish they let...

    Well, I’m still seeing a little lower expected next week. Here is the P&F chart for both the S&P 500 and the S fund. (Dwcpf). I’m thinking another 50 points down (S) to 100 points down (C) on both before we get a cycle up. Even then I’m not sure it will rebound much.

    Interesting individual stocks

    The downtrend is because it’s a startup with no revenue in 2021, to $35 million this year, and on track to double that again the following year. It’s growing into the big time with this battery technology. It begins mass production now in several plants. Revenue growth:

    Interesting individual stocks

    Ok-I have located another stock I find interesting. ENOVIX, a company with symbol ENVX, is a small manufacturer of lithium batteries. It’s HQ’d in California, but it has manufacturing facilities in three locations. South Korea; India, and Malaysia. What s interesting: It’s a fairly new...

    It still works. You can only round up to the next whole digit.

    James48843 Account Talk

    Yes. I used to do a “1%”, just to leave something in, so that I could utilize the secret “move 1% at a time “ and round up or down. It only is valuable if you have already moved twice that month. But one time I got caught that it went below 1%, so I could only move TO 1%, but it wouldn’t go to...

    That “Greed” marker hit 70 tonight- and I’m happy where I’ve been the last week. Taking a rest- because I think the risk is very high over the next two weeks- including risks of House Budget disaster. Moving to safety: G= 90% F= 2% C= 2% S= 2% I= 2% L income= 2% Taking a rest- effective...

    How Do We Make Money from:

    So I am hearing through sources that there is now developing a critical shortage of REFRIGERANT. Specifically, demand is outpacing supply of R454B, used in, among other things- air cooler slit environmental units. What cost. $ 8 a pound a year ago is suddenly $500 a can premium today...

    The Tariff Talk

    Gee, if only there was a way to make things better. Like Leviticus 25, the year of Jubilee. In Leviticus 25, the Jubilee is a special year of release and restoration occurring every 50 years, following a cycle of 7 sabbath years (49 years total). It's a time of both spiritual and practical...

    The Tariff Talk

    Yes, that is correct- the $100 tariff is a tax that is paid to the U.S. Treasury. There now is an additional stream of money coming in. Unfortunately it still is nowhere near the amount needed to cover the deficit. We’re still stacking up debt. Now it’s just costing the little guys who buy...
