WELL....we are now GREEN in both the SP500 and the NASDAQ. The DOW.....who cares. I see NOTHING more of any interest today. So....time to sit and wait for my Irrigation guy to get here to do the annual tune-up of my irrigation system.
I think I have had a gain for the past three days in a row. Today I ended the day with my stocks having a nice small gain....thanks to NVDA, GOOGL, and PLTR. I also beat the SP500 today by...0.29%.
Investing is a means to creating money and wealth.......but.....money is a life tool. "A safety net creates stability. Basic financial security reduces stress. But after “enough,” the question changes. It’s no longer: How much can I accumulate? It becomes: What is this for?" FINANCIAL WEALTH FUNDS LIFE WEALTH https://www.meaningfulmoney.life/post/financial-wealth-funds-life-wealth I am sure most people on here...even though life long investors.....do use those funds at times to enhance and further their lifestyle. I do. It is all about BALANCE.
I like this little article. Are Your Beliefs Assets or Liabilities? https://ofdollarsanddata.com/are-your-beliefs-assets-or-liabilities/ "......beliefs are so important. They shape the way we see the world and the actions we take. And those actions ultimately determine our results."
DUH. The OBVIOUS market driver today.......although people are becoming immune to this sort of news in the markets. Dow dives 500 points as oil jumps, Iran says it will keep Strait of Hormuz shut https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/11/stock-market-today-live-updates.html
The economic news today....that no one cares about. US trade deficit narrows in January as exports jump to record high https://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-trade-deficit-narrows-january-135044954.html AND US weekly jobless claims edge down https://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-weekly-jobless-claims-edge-124244249.html
ANYTHING that pulls manufacturing out of CHINA....is a good thing. India plans fresh incentives for phone production in boost for Apple, Samsung https://finance.yahoo.com/news/india-plans-fresh-incentives-phone-114129111.html
You would think that the IRAN situation would drive up GOLD. Apparently not. Why gold hasn’t moved since the Iran conflict — and where it could go next https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/12/gold-iran-conflict-where-next-markets.html
At least I have.....ONE....green stock today. PLTR. NOTHING we can do but sit and wait out the current.....mini-black-swan.....the situation in Iran. The life of a long term investor.......hurry up and wait......sit and wait......do nothing as you wait. BORING.....but....NECESSARY.
A MASSIVE improvement for me in my stocks. I have now DOUBLED my green stocks.....from one to two. PLTR and COST. Two out of seven....not bad on a day like today.
