End of the month! Hope you got your taxes done!

Live streams continue! Today… YouTube!

Hope you enjoyed yesterday’s episode! All about how I got started teaching English! Was a bit of a mess BUT, did you see the album art? Well, did that ever take me down memory lane AND showing the gf what I look like without a beard!

More stock talk. How many stocks can you really own? Another look at my spreadsheet and the addition of a couple of columns. Have the banks topped? Putting them on the list!

And a young lady shares her experience learning about money in China:

Two quotes:

-“A-shares are my ‘original family.’ That thing can be green for five days after being red for three. After a few years, I’d already developed an ironclad heart for withstanding losses — 20%, 30% drawdowns and I’m still cool as a cucumber, absolutely unshaken. This mentality helped me hold through several gold crashes. But the problem is: nobody ever taught me how to handle things going up every single day!”

-“We also factored in our extended families’ total asset allocation. Xiuming and I are from a small city in the southwest. If we went home, we’d have a place to live — both sets of parents and grandparents have their own homes. But if you actually calculated their value? Practically worthless. Either 30-year-old apartments or new builds in the far suburbs. They all look like fixed assets stuck in your hands that can’t be liquidated.”
