    Yep, it was a rip your face off rally. Yields coming down so much will be interesting to watch in the next few weeks.

    My 401k is now back to around the low in March, so November's been good so far.

    Days like today never make any sense to me. Walmart earnings are great, Home Depot pretty good. Really good (relatively speaking) PPI and the market just rolls over midday.

    Started my first tranche of TLT today, I think inflations rolling over and going forward it’ll be more deteriorating economic data that will give them a tailwind.

    We’ll see, could be completely wrong but seems like a better spot than equities at the moment.

    Had a big comms meeting today just discussing overall industry (outdoor cooking). some brands are not going to survive. The brands that do are going to pick up the pieces by 2024. Big opportunity for those brands and I suspect Traeger will be one. Going to continue adding the dips

    I'll be adding them consistently until the market cap hits $1B then probably reevaluate. Them being 1/4 the MKT cap of Weber is too low, though Weber could be in some real trouble so I wouldn't run too far with that comp. Traeger has probably the only brand in the industry that can stretch to full lifestyle if they do it right, so they've got plenty of runway from here.

    I expect 2023 to be another down year, though not as bad as 2022, then things come back in 2024, maybe in a big way.

    I only wish I moved all my QQQm into this throughout 2022 vs half. But now I’d be wondering when to sell and go back into tech. Probably a while until rates subside and growth returns anyways.

    No worries my friend, it's a 2-3yr play. Things won't get any better in the next 6-9 months, so I'd expect more dips and spikes. The end of 2023 and then really into 2024 is the turnaround.

    I used Vanguard for IRA and it seems fine enough. Not the most user friendly interface but it works.

    Don't have any experience with Schwab or Fidelity, but 401k is moving to Fidelity so will check it out soon.

    max it out every year (if able), and pay for expenses using your normal credit card (just save your receipts). Wish I would have done these two things when I first started contributing to mine.

    That’s the goal. Out of pocket maximum is a little daunting, but man, we’re pretty healthy. Gotta risk it.

    paying $100 to $ 200 for an office visit every time sucks, but if you’re going to the doctors less than 8 to 10 times a year, I think the HDHP is the way to go.
