So just throwing this out there because I LOVE to travel, but I heard Stonehedge is one of the most disappointing tourist attractions in the world. Aside from the "Oh wow, this is an interesting landmark from ages ago, it's a pretty boring overall experience of rocks. Now, I'd still love to check it off my bucket-list and can't judge it 'til I get there, but just curious as I just read this in an article of top 10 most overrated tourist attractions on Earth.

You can't touch the stones without a behind the scenes tour, or if you claim religious reasons and celebrate the solstices with the other

Thousands Gather at Stonehenge to Welcome Summer Solstice | Time

I've been to to it during normal times, next I want to try it on a solstice.

Avebury circle nearby is much larger, and there are no ropes preventing it. I went on a roadtrip and did Avebury, Stonehenge, Winchester Cathedral, and many of the White Horses (chalk stone designs on hills, been around for 100-1000s of years, in Wiltshire) over the course of a day.

Well, shucks. I bailed out last week, just in time to miss today's recovery.

That's it. I throw my hands up in the air. I'm moving BACK into stocks. As of CLOB today, I will be at:

50% "C", 45% "S", and 5% "F" fund just for good measure.

I'm literally sitting 50K less than I was two months ago, and sitting UP 4.5% from January 1st. I guess I need thicker skin. Happens to me too many times.

Love to you all!

So what you are saying is that you withdrew prematurely??? Uhh, never mind. I thought we were talking about something else....

Seeking fellow TSPTALK friends

who might be interested in an entrepenurial opportunity-

I'm getting closer to retirement- perhaps somewhere from 4 months to 2 years from pulling the plug and changing careers. .

And I'm getting ready to start a new adventure as something I've ALWAYS wanted to try- my hand at a business. (Or, more properly, a set of businesses).


The first business I am going to do, will involve chartering out a sailing vessel. Bareboat chartering a 32 foot (or thereabouts) nice, recent Sailboat, from a slip in the Great Lakes. It will be the beginning of a multi-sailboat leasing company, which I will run from my home looking at the dock/marina in Michigan.

Shortly after I establish that business (Expected to commence in Spring, 2020) , I would like to establish a deluxe Air B-N-B type operation within a 3 bedroom condo just down the street. I will operate and maintain it, and, based on local history, I see significant demand year around for this particular property.

Now, I have never done an AIR-B-N-B type operation before. The numbers are pretty good- and I am interested in finding some other fine TSPTALK related friends who might be interested in doing a venture-capital investment partnership with me on this deal.

Specifically, I'm interested in finding like 3 or 4 partners, who each would be willing to kick in on the order of around 50K. In return, they would get a small piece of ownership of the business (I do not yet know exactly what that would look like. It might be a partnership share, or a S-Corporation share, or something) , and a regular return on investment.


this is NOT an official offer or anything here.

I thinking I'm able to set up the Sailboat Chartering business myself.

But I'd like to find some partners to assist with doing the AIRBNB business. That one is going to need more thought into the setup, the operations, and the potential mental strength from more than just me. I want to combine with several other folks to give that one a try.

I'm just gauging interest if anybody out there would be willing to join me in doing my first attempts at an AIRBNB company.

I have some links to show a prospective investor/partner the area I am talking about, and a possible condo that is now up for sale, so you can see what type of property it is, and how this would work.


Message me if you are interested.

Jim

Something is not right. My hair is itching. It makes no sense to me. But I’m gonna follow it.

Moving to L-Income 90%, and F fund 10%.

No explanation available. Hanging on for trouble due to itchy scalp.

June has been very very good to me, considering I spent most of the month in safety. autotracker is showing that I've gained 2.99% with one day to go this month, and today is up. That's a nice thing.

So I am going to be bold again, and just entered an IFT to move to 90% "S" and 10% "I", effective the COB on Monday. That will be the 1st of the next month, so I am hoping we get a good July out of the deal. Wish me luck.

Better to burn out than rust away

It has been a great month - and, in fact, a great year. Personally, I don't see any valid reason to not be invested. The only issue is 'Summer', because 'Summer'. Could be a 30% year!!!

Hemorrhage.

I do believe that is the word I am searching for.

It's been a while since things have been clearer on the charts.

Today things became MUCH clearer for me.

I am seeing a clear downturn here- the S&P 500 should fall at LEAST 40 more points, if I am correct, and move to around 2950 to 2940 shortly.

I know that's not a huge downside, but the support that had been at recent levels has been eroding, and it looks pretty clear to me that we're in a for a short term retracement downward.

I'm sitting in L-income, (my go to for safety) and waiting for a good spot to appear to jump back in.


Peace.-- out.
