Had a great time this last weekend on a little business getaway/fishing trip with my investment tram. It was cold but you didn't feel any of that when you're reeling in a fat sailfish! The big sea turtle was just watching the show the entire time.

In a world that has shown us how unkind it can be, humanity will shine like a star. Grow your heart for good. Tend the gardens of your faith, family, and your country. Grow the good in your life and w**d out the bad. Your garden will only grow as well as you feed the roots.

Nice to see Kiplinger use my thoughts on blind spots that some don't plan for when making a social security claiming decisions. These decisions are usually permanent so make sure it fits what YOU specifically need not what the crowd is doing. Article in the comments.

This was pretty cool to get today. A pretty popular online publication pulled my comments from an older interview to use. The article link is in the comments.

The back story to this image is my great grandfather (PawPaw Floyd) gave this to my Maw Maw just in case the rough neck she is marrying, my Paw Paw, treats her badly and she can come home. This generation of my family were farmers. $20 in that day is currently worth close to $500 and acquired during the Great Depression. THAT means it was worth WAY more than the cash value. It was a huge sacrifice and my Maw Maw always kept it.

Olivia and her human family wishes everyone a Happy and Safe Memorial Day remembering the ones who gave all for all we enjoy.

Bigger update later but the future's market is responding very positively to the negotiations between the US and China regarding tariffs.

This was the greatest decade in music. Change my mind

We all have hats we wear outside of our careers. I'm an old farm boy that just loves to garden now and it looks like me and the family have some roasted potatoes and carrots in our near future.

Big news from across the pond — and it could impact your investments. 🇺🇸🇬🇧

The U.S. and U.K. just signed a major trade agreement, and it’s packed with implications for industries like automotive, aerospace, agriculture, and even tech. Here are a few highlights I broke down in this week’s update:

✅ Tariff reductions on U.S. and British cars
✅ $10B commitment from the UK to purchase Boeing aircraft
✅ Expanded access for U.S. beef, ethanol, machinery, and steel
✅ Digital collaboration that could help protect U.S. tech from IP theft

What does this mean for your portfolio? Markets love stability. Stability in global trade can strengthen markets and open doors for strategic investments.

Reach out if you want to discuss how this could affect your financial plan.

Whew! This market. I want to use today's market rebound just to emphasize how quickly markets forget and how short-term losses don't automatically indicate we're headed to a recession or the world's coming to an end.
