My wife has not been happy with my choices and I agreed to let her take me shopping at Dillards where I spent $172 on 5 items she liked, which is about 3x what I normally spend for 5 items. She assures me they will last longer but we shall see. I am watching howard marks on you tube and continuing to read poor charlies almanak. Marks is making a compelling case for me to raise more cash. He told this great story about a pension fund manager who strive to be in the 50-75% quartile of returns of pension fund managers. He successful did that for 14 years around. Over that 14 year period was not around the 65% percentile of fund manager but finished 4th! Marks outlook is summed up by ; 1. I cant predict the future nobody can, but I can look at the past and draw conclusions about likely investor behavior and its impact on results. 2. I cant pick winners but I can try to avoid losers. 3. have an investment plan and try not to do anything really stupid.

OT and most likely many of you are more diligent than I , but it hit me after reading the almanak that I should strive to be more reliant. so I went to my accounts to see if my beneficiary and contingent beneficiary info was up to date and it was not.
