Notes to self

  • I fully expect this value to come down as I view the overall market as very expensive at the moment.
  • I’m still moving toward safety. I am holding $47,000 in cash or equivalents and plan to bring that up to $60,000 soon.
  • There are a few stocks on the NYSE that I am still interested in that have good value. Currency exchange is a tough pill to swallow.
  • My portfolio here excludes my other investments (real estate, precious metals and cash for the apocalypse)

  1. Great update. I think you’re smart to be building up cash right now. Markets are just too hot right now. I keep saying this and it’s not popular with some of my blog readers. I sold a bunch of stock last month to level out my cash to stock ratio.

    1. Hi IH,

      I saw your big portfolio shake up and thought it was a smart move. There is no harm in having a safety net.

      “Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked.” Warren Buffett

      I have absolutely no idea when the next correction or crash will be but I know I will be ready when it does happen. And it will happen.

      People have to be careful when they hear stats about 7% returns. If you would have bought at the heights of the bull market before the crash of the Great Depression, it would take you 25 years just to break even. There goes your whole investing life! If you would have bought at the bottom of the crash, now there is where you make your money.

      I remember when the Dow hit 7000 in 2008, I was buying everything I could get my hands on. I just didn’t have very much money.

      This time I’m a little bit wiser and a little more prepared.
