Fresh Hell

My shiny new lawnmower blast window guards are being tested by the building people today. We’ll see how it goes with their back-and-forth an inch from my windows all day long. In unrelated news, since I yanked all the aggressive investments and put dough into quiet boring non-risky funds, growth has exploded. What the hell is going on? I didn’t expect that. I thought growth would grind to a halt – but that I would also not be exposed to a big loss if the market tanked. I don’t think the stock market makes much sense anymore. But I’m not complaining. My investment mix used to be nearly all equities. Now, I’ve dialed that back to have 50% in cash and bonds. My advisor guy told me that I’m nuts and this is way too conservative for my age. But it’s still growing like crazy, so meh? I’m fine with slow and steady wins the race.
