Stock prices can’t move up forever! I appreciate a little bit of fear in the markets. It’s far scarier when people ignore their emotions and ignore the uncertainties of this world. That would mean opportunities resulting from human emotions would be far and too few! 😊

News on a new variant hitting the states has spooked the global markets. I am in the camp that we will not shut down the economy and will weather this storm with the therapeutics available to us today.

What worries me more is how this will affect the progress we are making in the supply chain outside the US and how it could potentially exacerbate inflation forcing the FED’s hands.

However, my spider senses tell me I should buy cautiously and treat this as a buying opportunity and pick up some names off my wish list. 🤠

Time for a quick update!

Any progress is welcome in my books. It is about you vs yourself a year prior. Don’t be too hard on yourself on some of those losing stocks. AT&T is my loser this year(at least for now). Successful investing and mistakes go hand in hand. Take the bitter sweet lessons and move forward. There is no end to learning about business and economics. It’s ok to make mistakes! But it is not ok to give up!

Till the next update friends! 🙂👍
