Had a solid day.   Don't have much equity exposure to tech trading names now, sold a majority of movers off a month ago.   It was a solid first half of 2024.

My growth is in the COST, the HD, the PLTR, the SOFI, and a bit of TWKS, a tiny company that is now being run by a good friend,  and of course a slug of ETFs like FFTY and BOUT across a myriad of indices.   As I grow older, 70 now, I prefer risk in the ETFs versus the individual names.  I don't have the time to make it over again and the ETF space is easy and unique.  Trump and Vance will improve the economy with a solid check on America's finances.  Unlike your finances, ours (in America) suck. 

The goal is to be happy and do good, to live and give back, to laugh and love often.  It was a good day.   If I can get hard work lined up with good luck maybe I can knock out a gain of 25% this year.   I only compete against myself.  The only people I am trying to impress are the 8-year-old version and the 80-year-old version of Dean Parisian.    It is the total portfolio against me.  The goal is not to lose much while winning.  Sure I have had several days (3) where the portfolio dropped over $500,000 in a day.    Yes, bad things happen to good people but did I sell?   No, I didn't sell then and am not selling now.  Why you ask?

Simple.

Live in America, have my health, and have a system I trade.  And thank you MARKETSURGE!   May God bless JD Vance and Donald Trump and their families who will help America achieve.

The best is yet to come.  Believe it.
