For The American Conservative Magazine: If you were in shop class back in high school (remember that?) and you were instructed to build your own Mount Rushmore out of wood, I would have one piece of advice: leave room for expansion. Because when I think of my visit to the site back in the mid-80s […]
What We Learned from the Iowa Republican Caucuses
What we learned from the Iowa Republican caucuses yesterday is that voters are tired of the establishment GOP. They look at their current situation and can’t believe where they are, where their kids are, and where their grandkids are. They see how much they’ve lost in the 19 years of Obama/Biden. Trump was a break […]
Dick Young to Your Survival Guy: “Diversification Is Discipline”
One of the more common trends Your Survival Guy sees in investment portfolios is a lack of diversification. Through the years, investors add more money to the winners while the losers are shoved to the side like misfit toys. Over time, portfolios look less like a toy box and more like a mantle of six […]
Your Survival Guy’s Not a Psychologist, But…
Your Survival Guy’s not a psychologist, but I do know a thing or two about the emotions of investing. You hear plenty about not drawing more than a certain percentage of your money each year. You hear plenty about getting to a certain number where you’ll feel comfortable calling it quits from your job. You […]

Your Survival Guy Talking Money with His Daughter
Your Survival Guy was talking about money with his daughter over the holidays. And it wasn’t exactly the conversation I was expecting to have. You see when I logged into my accounts, I didn’t see what I was expecting to see. Usually, I have access to both of my kids’ UGMA accounts. I’ve been managing […]
Your Investing Success in 2024 May Rely on This
Your success as an investor has much to do with your temperament. It’s more art than science. That’s not coming from me. That’s from years of reading my father-in-law’s newsletter, Richard C. Young’s Intelligence Report. He’s pulled me aside many a time to remind me: “Survival Guy, listen to me, investing is more about art […]

And then, poof, the black swan swoops in, and those gains are washed away with the tide. Luckily for you, you have Your Survival […]
You May Recall the Death of Balanced Investing
You may recall the death of balanced investing. It was all over the place as interest rates were reset to a more palatable level. Did Your Survival Guy recommend selling out? Of course not.
