I found myself repeating a rant of many days past during my recent squirrel war saga. A house is not an investment. I will die on this hill!

I’m Uncomfortably Long Assets!
A person I follow on Twitter recently noted that he was ‘irresponsibly long’ Bitcoin. This concept stuck with me because it reminded me of how I currently feel about my investment portfolio. I do not believe I am irresponsibly long anything but I definitely feel like I am uncomfortably long everything. I believe that the …

Keep On Truckin’!
Every six months I do a personal finance update. I update a complex spreadsheet that has a bunch of historical charts. I’ve kept track of a ton of financial statistics/ratios since we began married life back in 1995. Every six months I sit down, update it, digest it, and chart my course corrections (if any …

Why I Bought Some Bitcoin! HODL?!? I Guess?!?
I’ve been watching Bitcoin/crypto/blockchain from the sidelines for a few years.

Physical Gold and Silver
Asset Class: Commodities (Precious Metals) Original Investment Thesis (7/2018): I will likely keep a precious metal allocation in my portfolio from here on out. I’ve never owned precious metals in my life until mid-2018. I’ve heard all the great investors talk about how it is nothing but a pet rock, has no yield, therefore, it …
Creating Deanco Investment Group
Preston, my oldest son, recently (in late 2017) got interested in investing and wanted to learn about it. I warned him it was really hard, really time-consuming and almost always a losing game to try to beat the “market”. I told my son if you want to invest in individual stocks (rather than just buy …
