No regrets fellas... It's really easy to make decisions looking backwards.

None here Todd, and yes a crystal ball would be handy.

Saw a Warren Buffet quote on IG today, "the rear view mirror in business is much cleaner than the windshield"

Yet if we spend too much time looking back, we'll trip on what's ahead....

I spent too many years on the only if's.... I can honestly say I have not one regret and I've done some really stupid stuff. After all, mistakes are some of the best experience. I do think you need to be willing to learn and change your ways in the process.

I know I'm not supposed to do this, but it was so glaring I had to check. My investment accounts are up 5% since Jan 1 2019...

This last week has been crazy green for me....

This is why you can’t be a market timer — because if you sell every time you get worried — the market will snap back and run on you and then all you do is end up with cash that needs to be put to work - -and thus you buy at ever higher prices.... TIME IS THE GREAT MAGIC — Not timing.

Default At&t (t)

Watching CNBC this morning and all the discussion about “Streaming”.... Apple - Netflix - Disney - Hulu..... everyone wants you to sign up for their streaming service and cut the cable

Why mention this? Because I got to thinking that AT&T bought Direct TV (cable) for growth — and assumed massive debt for the purchase. My millennial children don’t have or want cable - they have streaming stuff.....

Just remembering “fundamental change” in your holdings — and is this one??? The death of a 1000 cuts — or was it a brilliant move? IDK — just saying to pay attention.

I can barely watch cable TV. The commercials are ridiculous. I have to be really tired a looking for something mind numbing. I end up on Netflix most of the time.

On the flip side, I noticed Amazon is getting into prescription drugs. A to your door type deal. I'm a bit down on CVS and it makes me look to consider unloading it in the short term.
