I think I'm going to put a toe in the water. I'll report back.

Here is a description: What is private credit investing? Private credit is an alternative asset class consisting of privately negotiated loans and debt financing from non-bank lenders. Private companies, which don't have access to public markets, must turn to private credit markets to finance...

It's not P2P. You could see how much the entity is trying to raise, how much raised so far, and when the opportunity was closing. You could also find how many loans they have oustanding and the debt on those. I created an account, but haven't funded it. Sounds interesting and might throw...

Daily Upside carried a link for this app today. Accredited investors (self-certifying, I think) can create a portfolio, research deals, and participate at various minimum levels. A quick scan showed minimums from $500-2500, terms around 1 year, and yields in the teens. Anybody have experience...

Ditto

We went LZBoy and bought their top of the line recliner. After a few months, it just wasn't what I was looking for. Bit the bullet and sold it on CL for about 50%. We now have a set of Valencia theatre recliners that I bought strictly off the internet reviews. They are good, but not awesome...

Why did VWINX drop 4.4 % yesterday?

Vitamin A & D ointment. Works like magic, available everywhere.

I'll give you some Panhandle stuff, just in case you pass that way. Palo Duro Canyon Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum in Canyon, TX. Block out three hours, minimum. It's great. The Slaton Bakery in downtown Slaton, TX. I don't know what they put in their dough, but it should be...

I'm 60, retired 5 years, and I'm currently 80/20, equities/cash, with 70% in individual equities and 45% of that in IT stocks. We could change our lifestyle at the drop of a hat and live off cash/pension until the market comes back. My cash rises when things are frothy and I buy in the dips...

Go big It's not about discovering the next big growth stock (as any "fool" will tell you), it's about holding it long term and riding through the inevitable volatility and the will to let a stock, or stocks, be a high percentage of the account.

Get some tamales at Teresa's Tamales off Hwy 518 just north of Cleveland, NM. I was there two days ago and can't stop thinking about them. Red pork tamales with Christmas sauce (red and green). Out of this world. Big Bend NP is fantastic and has lots of elbow room, but Thanksgiving through...

How can gratitude exist without an Entity on which to bestow that gratitude?

I went with their premium service, which gave me access to almost all of the portfolios and recommendations. That's given me small cap, micro cap, international, and many other exposures that I would never have had to this level. My portfolio is very diverse at this point. They also provide...
