I used to be in credit risk for a very large stock market company.
Calling the bottom of the market is the same as betting big and getting 21 in blackjack.
Super cool when it happens, but not skill. The number of grown men I had to hear crying because they were dollar cost averaging down to the bottom until they went broke still disturbs me.
I’m happy this worked for you, but it was not skill.
Just piling on at this point, but we made 2 changes last spring that made summer so much more tolerable in our house.
And we haven’t found ourselves needing it, but a mini split has popped up a lot here already and is a great idea.
