Stick To Your Convictions -- Stay Diversified -- Have A 30-Year Horizon Mindset -- August 10, 2026

Locator: 51380INVESTING.

An aside. The Washington Post is now posting the story of how the US Secret Service last month protected President Trump on his exit from Ankara, Turkey, and the NATO summit. Link here.

Now, back to the blog. 

I am absolutely convinced that if you are an investor, with a rolling 30-year horizon, you need to ignore the AI naysayers and stick to your convictions. And stay diversified.

That thought flashed across my mind thinking about the AAPL (Apple) story today. Apple may have taken a page from Amazon / Jeff Bezos. Sometimes it's not about the money. 

You can howl at the wind, but AI is here to stay.

A Musical Interlude

I haven't kept up with indie music. This is a beginning.  Link here (a boring discussion but nice to see Gin.)

Link here. Gin Wigmore, "Kill of the Night." This could easily be the "fight song" for a Top 10 NCAA university. 

A todo volumen.
