We are around the bottom of the Tariff crash of 2025. I let everything pretty much ride through it and did not buy substantially, outside of normal monthly purchases. Even with the Iran "crash", still not bad. Some of you probably made out a ton better, if you went heavy into the panic.

Fareplay is probably still in cash

YOY 75.92% with after hours bump. 3.5% YTD I feasted last April. Heavy in O&G. I'm one damn day from another big chunk of my energy stock going long term. Been taking profits and redeploying elsewhere.

I've been buying VOO and VGT every Friday since the Epstein Excursion began, it has sorta worked out for me.
We'll see how long this new truce lasts.

Love those two.

I feel like a kid in a candy shop some days.

The wealth gap is going to grow I’m afraid. The folks who don’t self manage get ravaged by fees

Retired early.

About 3 years earlier than original early plan.

Why?

2008-10 had its fingerprints on this time independence creation.

Pretty much my situation. I did sell some out of the money puts on a few things before the rally that worked well. I'm up 20.52% YOY.

I’m up 55% YOY, but I also withdrew a lot after last years TACO trade. I trade at the end of the quarter no matter what. Value cost averaging for the win.
