Yesterday, I hit my first $100K portfolio milestone ✅
And it’s true—the first $100K is the hardest.
Next goal: $100K in my Roth IRA.
Same system. Same discipline. (For educational purposes only.)

Frey: "This is not sustainable. This is an impossible situation our city is being put in. We cannot be at a place in America where we have 2 governmental agencies literally fighting one another. We are put in this position b/c we have approximately 600 police officers & there are 3,000 ICE agents."

Not the birthday she imagined, but one she’ll always remember.
The flu tried to slow us down, so we stayed home and loved even harder.
Decorations up, gifts ready, smiles through the sniffles. Memories still made
Pink drink cake included. 🎂
Big celebration coming soon—she deserves it. 💓

The choice is simple: own assets to hedge against a steadily debasing currency, or leave cash idle and watch it lose over 50% of its purchasing power every decade. Over longer time horizons, the difference becomes dramatic.
Have a good night.

International equities are up approximately +40% YoY, a level previously seen only during select periods in market history. An interesting development for diversified portfolios.
Notable performance from international stocks this year. Another example of shifting market leadership.

That happened only in Oct 1999, early 2004, immediately after the GFC, and March 2021.

I know a guy who:
– Is in mid-40s
– Earns $10–30M annually in finance
– Lives in a 6-bed, 10-bath estate
– Flies on a Gulfstream
– Saves 75% of his income
– Invests heavily in PE and MLPs
– Hit FI more than 10 years ago
Still makes his own lunch. No wife. No kids.
What advice would you give him?

Enjoy this gorgeous image that my 87-year-old dad shot tonight in Huntington Beach. Proud of his talent, and most of all proud of his heart.

All three major U.S. stock market indices closed 2025 with modest gains. The Nasdaq Composite rose about 20%, the S&P 500 gained roughly 16%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished the year up around 13%.

Is it time to rebalance?

No to foreign interference, no to exploitation masked as “freedom.” Every nation deserves the right to chart its own path. ✊🏽
Zohran Mamdani, the new mayor of New York City, called President Trump on Saturday to personally object to strikes the U.S. had conducted in Venezuela and to the capture of its leader, Nicolás Maduro. Mamdani accused Trump of violating international law.

I just bought a 7 bedroom, 10 bath, 12,000 sq ft palace in the suburbs outside Caracas for $115,000. All cash, waived all contingencies, sight unseen. Will visit over the summer. Betting on a turnaround here. Don’t call me an imperialist. I’m just a value investor.

If my house was burning & I could only grab 3 things this would be one of the 3. A Christmas present from 2023. 🎄 My daughters wrote little notes about their love for me & placed them in this mason jar. This is worth more to me than any thing I’ve ever bought with money. 💯❤️
