Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Thanks Matt!

I am in full indecision paralysis as far as the stock market goes. Part of me feels like I should pull some money out. Maybe build up more of a liquid cushion. My usual approach in bad times is set it and forget it. I don’t think I looked at it once during the prior Orange Times. But that felt qualitatively different.

Same Brenda. But I’m figuring either shit goes so bad that my retirement money is just a pipe dream, or I’ve got long enough that it can bounce back. I hope.

Our wings are not tired.

In the same boat, Brenda. It is very challenging to keep to my plan, but my life experience tells me to hold tight. The volatility with TFG topping himself daily with the insanity is heart stopping. I still look, but I have to hang in there and not bail. As much as my portfolio has dipped, it is nothing compared to the billionaire buddies. He is going to start feeling the heat. He'll reverse the tariffs just like he reverses other gross errors. He will declare he won and take them away.

Don't look at the last month, look at the last 10 years. It's going to continue to be a roller coaster.

Oh, wow, those eagles... and babies. And the view. It's all very soothing. Thank you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aw, squeaky chirpy eagles
