Don’t Sell America Short

The Irrelevant Investor

The labor market continued to rebound in October. This morning we learned that the unemployment rate fell a full percentage point to 6.9%. According to the Wall Street Journal , "Employers have added 12.1 million jobs since April, more than half the 22.2 million lost in the spring." We still have a long road ahead of us, but the rebound that we're seeing in so many different data sets is very encouraging, to say the least.

I Don’t B*llshit Myself

The Irrelevant Investor

Do you know your lifetime investment performance? If you're like most people then no, you probably can't answer this question. [link] I know exactly what my returns are, or at least I used to know. I started trading in the aftermath of the GFC. I can't remember who inspired me to start a journal, but I owe that person a huge debt of gratitude. I recorded every transaction I made and why I made it.

Portfolio Tweaks Before the Election

The Irrelevant Investor

If we learned anything from the 2016 election, it's to watch what people do, not what they say. You can't trust polls that ask people what they're going to do for a million and one reasons , but when it comes to asking people what they've already done, I think you can get a little closer to the truth.
