Been a heck of a year with swings. About 3.7% down YTD.

Long term play. Unless there is a disruption in cell phone market.

DCA and stay the course for the win.

Still in the camp that this will be a sideways market.

Not retiring for 10 years so market swings don’t make me panic
His Britney Spears call was a little bit weird.
Regardless of my personal political leanings I don’t care what my clients support. I don’t share openly share with them my political views.

There is a lot of virtue signaling in this world that is the main thing I see. It’s like a team sport. I don’t see the logic in alienating half your potential customers.

However, I would say that most business owners are either moderates or conservatives so I don’t have to deal with people with what I consider extreme views.

Unfortunately social media and mainstream media sells an inaccurate view of the world. Most people are reasonable and just want life, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness.
Uncertainty killed the momentum.

Trump has not done a good job of communicating what he’s trying to do to markets.

I still think we’ll see sideways market this year unless another black swan event occurs like significant changes in tariff policy.
DCA for the long term win.

Are you an investor or a trader?

It’s possible if there was a huge surge in unemployment.

However, everything I read housing supply is less than demand so basic economics would say prices wouldn’t move lower all other things being held equally.
Property tax up $140 per month in Dallas.
