Not my usual value investment. Off the radar. 5x-10x upside, 3-5 years. (Our house is invested heavily, but that could mean anything lol.) Global data to ANY cellphone (no special phone), anywhere, $10-20/month added to your bill.

We have about 60 hardcover copies of the original How to Retire on Dividends left (of 10,000 copies printed!). Almost sold out, we switched to Amazon print on demand. Same content. I will send two free copies each (rule: you always send two so recipient can give one to interested party) to anyone (anyone!) who DMs me name and mailing address. No questions asked. Lol. Please help us clear out the garage. Info:

Now Available: A Second Opinion on Your Investments

In a time of unusual economic and political uncertainty, you may want confidence that your investments are aligned with your goals.

For the first time, I'm offering to interested investors the analysis I provide my private investment clients.

I review your investment accounts and provide a Second Opinion tailored to you. No AI. No canned answers from software. No junior staff. I personally perform all the analysis and write every Second Opinion.

Your Second Opinion will answer these questions:

• Do your investments meet your objective(s) and risk tolerance? Why? Why not?
• Are you adequately (or too) diversified to meet your objective(s)? Why? Why not?
• What changes would better align your investments with your objective(s)?
• Too much duplication? Fund fees too high? Inflation protection?

Take my 3-minute survey (click the Survey Monkey logo below) to get started. Once I review the results to determine that a Second Opinion can help you, I get in touch--usually within 48 hours--to answer any questions and explain the process further.

When you are ready for me to start work, you pay the fee and submit recent account statements.* The fee is typically 0.2% of the combined account balance, lower for simpler accounts and higher for complex ones.

The Second Opinion is usually completed within two weeks, depending on the complexity of your accounts. Plus, there is a no-questions-asked refund of 100% of your fee if you are not completely satisfied with your Second Opinion.

Start the survey now through the Survey Monkey link below. It doesn't commit you in any way. And all responses are absolutely confidential.

I'll be in touch once you have completed the survey.

I look forward to providing you a personalized Second Opinion on your investment accounts soon.

Warm regards,

Tom

Your advice sought. Sark Word Game for iOS and Android is doing well, word of mouth, steadily. I've found that asking passersby while sitting at a table on the street during spring break in Marfa is very effective due to profile of visitors and the personal touch. It takes time and energy but so much more fun than random social media ad spend! The yield of regular players from such activity is frankly astonishing and the ripple effect blows me away. Please recommend anywhere you know where I might find teens and adults persuadable to try Sark as they walk by. I'd go anywhere for from 3 days to a week. Thank you. Oh--I offer $5 if they play a practice game and then Game of the Day. Many decline saying they are glad to help. 🥰🥰🥰🔥

My new project!

Ugly, disgusting, don't come near to describing it. Another case where the VCs somehow keep funding a startup and its unconscionable behavior--until it's no.longer making them money.

It was May 2019, and Pollen CEO Callum Negus-Fancey walked through the woods, grinning as he sprayed Fireball into his employees' mouths out of a fake fire extinguisher. About 400 Pollen employees were camped out in Mendocino County, California, for five straight days of partying. The UK-based event...

LGBTQ+ Qataris.

Dr. Nasser "Nas" Mohamed is said to be the first gay Qatari to come out publicly. He did it to raise awareness about the existence and mistreatment of LGBTQ people in Qatar before the 2022 FIFA World Cup. "Our voices and our journeys matter," he says.

So Elizabeth Holmes gets 11 years for Theranos fraud, between the 18 months house arrest her lawyers asked for and 20 years she could have gotten. "Bad Blood" is an incredible read about the saga. Haven't seen the miniseries.

He is so smart, you have to wonder if this destruction is intentional. But if so, why?
