How are you feeling? Rough markets, I know. But if you’re in value-oriented equities and short to mid-term bonds, you’ve been able to avoid most of the market chaos. Because it’s chaotic out there. I wish I could say it’s going to get better soon, but I don’t know if it will. I’m Your Survival […]

Your Survival Guy: “Sell in May, Buy After Labor Day?”
Thoughts from Your Survival Guy: “Sell in May, buy after Labor Day?” Not me. The volatility is what separates the good investors from the great. You don’t need to be a hero, just “Survive and Thrive.” How do you think ESG looks when the lead proponent says it’s OK to change mid-course because of the […]
Is Your Financial Advisor Hiding the Truth About ESG?
Is your financial planner, advisor, wealth manager, CPA, CFA, CFP, or whatever else they slap onto their business card on the same page as you? Are you all rowing in the same direction? Have you asked them about ESG, for example? Do they ask you? Because if you don’t know, it’s probably time you do. […]
PRICES SOAR: Diesel Shortage Could Cripple America’s Economy
Prices for diesel fuel are soaring, and shortages of the critical transportation fuel could leave economies, including America’s, in shambles. At MarketWatch, Dan Molinski reports on the fears of a shortage of diesel, writing: One of the U.S.’s largest truck stops, Love’s, said Wednesday it is closely watching its diesel fuel supplies in the Northeast […]
MARKET CHAOS: This May Take Time, Here’s How to Prepare
Do yourself a favor. Take a vacation (everyone else is, trust me). Turn off your phone, your computer, your TV, and take a mental break from your investments for a minute. Because in times like these, and they’re quite the times, it never ceases to amaze me how all of a sudden investors get “serious” […]
ESG Is Another Way to Attack Conservative Principles
You know from here, here, and here how I feel about ESG investing. It’s a politicized money grab for finance and government to extract more fees from investors and to choose winners and losers subjectively. It’s good to see Utah is standing up against the mob. Utah’s treasurer, Marlo Oaks, is fighting back against an […]
Elon Musk: a Market Bubble that Could Bust Overnight?
Is Elon Musk’s wealth mostly a market bubble that could burst literally overnight? Francis Menton (aka the Manhattan Contrarian) emphasizes how Elon Musk’s wealth comes from the speculative values of two companies: Tesla and SpaceX: According to Barron’s here on April 21, Musk owns about 17% of Tesla. Even after recent market declines, Tesla has […]
Here’s What the Fed SHOULD Do, and Why It Probably Won’t
Your Survival Guy’s take on the Fed’s wavering on future rate increase amounts? Business as usual. The Fed’s a political beast and always fails at doing its one real job—protecting the value of your dollar. The Fed’s been in the business of ruining dollars forever. This is nothing new. So why the uproar? Well, tech […]
Intelligence Report: How $10,000 Grows to $28 Million
Your Survival Guy wants your grandchildren to be as rich as Croesus. How can you help them do that? Get them on the path to riches by putting time on their side. It’s time that’s the key ingredient to compound interest. As Dick Young wrote to you back in July 2016: How $10,000 Grows to […]
You Can Do Better than Mutual Funds and ETFs with Your Cash
You know how I feel about Fidelity and Vanguard. Great custodians, but there’s a better mousetrap than the mutual funds and ETFs they sell for stock investing. That’s why I favor individual dividend-paying stocks with a track record of consistent dividend increases. Do not take this as a call to immediately sell your mutual funds/ETFs, […]
