Question: Why is there no cure for cancer?

Answer: There's NO money in it.

Learned to love the game

 

Backing off from the daily machinations of the stock market has given me more time on some beautiful TN golf courses.    

PLASMIC ECHO

The great men and women in the field, those who toil for the benefit of great Americans, have to be ashamed of their leadership.

New lows daily for the Agency.   

My Dad was a LEO.   He wouldn't have believed any of this would be possible.  

Conservative American Here

Since retiring in 2019 and giving up the day-to-day responsibility of managing OPM, (other people's money) I have concentrated solely on growing my own.  When COVID took over, I roared off to my ranch, sat tight, and traded rather aggressively.  Naturally in tax-qualified accounts, one needn't worry about short-term gains.  These are my 2021 IRA closed transactions while COVID was scaring the world.  As you can see, the returns were far more than the stated % return because the account was only a couple of million, not the total dollar amount traded of eight million which is shown.  

2021 Aggressive Account

As time has passed, I have taken more time to consider the state of the American financial system I have altered my approach to my own financial well-being.  Yes, I still sell call options on stocks.   Yes, I still own passive investments. Yes, I still own real estate and have added to it.  Yes, on occasion, when the charts tell me,  I trade rather aggressively.  Yes, I still own far more stocks than bonds.  Yes, I still own large and small companies.   

One thing is for sure boys and girls.  Deficits matter.  Debt matters and interest on debt matters.  We will have a financial crisis on our hands.   Bonds are rich. Stocks are rich.  The FED honcho's have raised rates by 500 basis points.  They are clueless;  that whole bunch should be shown the door which is my definition of transitory.  They can't knock inflation down and have run out of bullets.

I am not a pessimist. 

America is being governed poorly.  We are headed to a financial disaster. 

Be smart about who you vote for this fall.

Tucker Carlson Drops F-Bomb In Fiery Take on The Joe Rogan Experience

“If I get another f*cking lecture from Joe Scarborough (MSNBC) about ‘defending democracy’... then I’m going to go crazy.”

Tucker says the system is “not even a close approximation of a democracy” because “When they stand up and pass a $60 billion funding bill for Ukraine, when 70% of the population doesn’t want it, when they’re ignoring the actual problems in our country, like the economy and the border, and they’re hauling in Congress over the weekend to pass something that people don’t want while ignoring the things that people do want. And if they do the same kind of thing again and again for, like, 50 years, and they call it a democracy, that will drive you insane because it’s just too dishonest.”

Tucker Carlson urged them to stop lying about our “democracy” because this is how the government really works:

“Why not just say, ‘We don’t give a shit what you want. We are getting something out of this Ukraine funding, whether it’s the thrill of being masters of the universe or whether it’s money from the defense contractors, whatever we’re getting out of it is more important to us than your opinion. This is not self-government. You don’t run this country. We do. Shut up and obey.’ If they at least said that, you’d be like, ‘Okay, I get it. Those are the terms.’ But if I get another f*cking lecture from Joe Scarborough about ‘defending democracy’ when this is not a democracy, it’s not even a close approximation of a democracy, then I’m going to go crazy because I just can’t deal with the lying.”

New Lesson Old Message

 

Friday Follies

Going into the weekend, sellers are in charge.  Short sellers emboldened!   

Economic news, political news, most news is pure shit these days.  Half of it unbelievable.  Probably most of it.  

My stock exposure is minimal.  No need to get in the way.  Hero's are in comic books, they don't sit at my trading desk.

Look around, boys and girls!  Gold prices trending, Biden is OTL,  missiles ready to launch, Musk catching hell from Africa's Zimbabwa, (that bastion of intellectual thought), cops (LEO's) getting shot left and right, bird flu, cow flu, 3.2 flu for spring breakers, FISA warrants trendy with the FBI,  covid masks fashionable, covid shots still selling, and lastly, this week I was able to see up close and personal what the business of healthcare is all about.  Ron White has more in him and all he has to do is watch the news!  America, 2024.  Fully engaged in their cell phones and social media nonsense!

My friend from Wisconsin sent me some nice photos that he took while we were bird-watching in Mexico a couple months ago.  For sure the only bright spots on my screen today.

This too shall pass.   Remember the purpose of markets is to separate the weak from the strong.

Enjoy the black-necked stilts and the lone snow goose in Baja!

I reckon the goose take-away is that sometimes you may find yourself out of your element but stay the course if you have what you need!

Dear XXXXXXXXXX,

So, you are in Los Angeles.  Big town.  California hype.  Lots of people.  I know you are enjoying your trip, keeping your eyes and ears open.  Watching, seeing.  You are also in my prayers.  

California is a tough place.   One of my favorite comments when I lived there was that everybody wants to be a star.  It is also an expensive state to live in.  Taxes are very high.  The sunshine in southern Cal is for sure, priceless.  I lived farther south than where you are now and it is one of the most beautiful beach cities on earth. LaJolla. 

I hope you get to meet some people out there that you can learn some things from.  I think you are perceptive about life and that will serve you well in the future.  Ask some of those people you are serving what they would have done differently in their lives.  Listen very carefully for the excuses.  You will hear them.  Listen carefully.

You see, the vast majority of people spend their lives in search of the "perfectly legitimate excuse". They see that as an acceptable replacement for success.  They are negative.  Maybe at your age, you already know some “negative” people.  Negative people look for someone or something to blame. Their life can be summarized as the "quest for the perfectly legitimate excuse". They never really grasp personal responsibility. The closest they come to feeling good is the placebo effect they get from hanging around like-minded people and participating in group gossip and complaining sessions.  Some people, and you probably know a couple already, have turned to using pot as part of their excuse in life.  You see, and this is very important to understand, to get what you've never had, you must do what you've never done.

Understanding this short quote can be the difference between winning or losing; between greatness or mediocrity. It captures the essence of discipline and discipline in life is what will make your life great.  Your Dad has a tremendous amount of discipline.  You know that and it has contributed to a large part of his great success.  If I can wish one thing for you to take away from this trip it is the importance of keeping your balance, keeping your focus and keeping your discipline to pursue your goals.  Your goals, not your mothers goals for you, not your fathers' goals for you. Your goals.  Your passions.    To do that, you will have to step out of your comfort zone.  When you do that, you experience great personal growth.

Always dream and believe that the best is yet to come.  I still do.

With best wishes, 

Dean Parisian

Lies. Disinformation. Misinformation. BS.

Avoid them. At all costs.

Truth will not be found in any of these organizations.

Hasn't every single one of these "news" outlets completely ignored the fact that Joe Biden showered with his daughter, who thinks she may have been molested.

@70 Looking Back 5 years ago...........

This paragraph is still one of my favorites five years after I wrote it.  It doesn't seem to wear out!

"History doesn't have a reverse gear and there are no do-overs in parenting. We all have the same amount of time every single day to do our best. I always tried to accept the world for what it was and work hard to exploit the opportunities I was given. Sometimes they are hard to see. This past year I have shut off the TV and stayed away from the trance of the lies and bias of a defeated establishment. Hunting has shown me how important pacing one's life is and how important being able to haul ass is too. It's proven that you are only out of the game when you quit. There are a lot of high peaks and deep canyons in life, all possible to get over if you want to pay the price, your price, not mine. Those trips many times will take from you, to get you out of that comfort zone. Those ridges and that rough water will always be there. In my mind, I live deer every day all year long and have for years. What keeps me going is that I know my time is limited for quality hunting. The day will come when I won't get to hunt like I did. The legs won't allow it, so I feel like I have to give it everything I can, while I can. I still can. In closing let me tell you what I would like to see at 65 in 2019. To see less fraud and farce. To see fewer lies from society. To see less instant replay and less end-zone theatrics. To see less bullshit and more personal responsibility. Less government ie my tax dollars and more man up and do it. To see fewer tweets from our President on the stock market and Hillary Clinton brought to account. To see a far smaller balance sheet at our Central Bank and a Fed audit. To see a level playing field in our capital markets infrastructure. To see less war and less class warfare and to continue to hear less of a large sucking sound in D.C. In a perfect world, to have the Montana legislature shorten the mule deer season by a week to 10 days for more bucks, bigger bucks for the kids and hunters who hunt.

Hey, 65 isn't too old to dream!

Thanks for coming along with me!"

Never forget the things that make life far easier..........

Human is not a synonym for rational.

Don't confuse net worth with self-worth.

Success has nothing to do with money and everything to do with how you feel about yourself.

People can do whatever they think they can do.

I've never met a successful pessimist.

I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come.

The extra mile is never crowded.

Americans underestimate the value of pure freedom.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

Hustle never has an off night.

Don't fear giving up the good to go for the great.

2024 Shed Hunting

 

It was a tough year.  More ranchers are keeping alfalfa bales in the river bottoms to keep deer localized when horns are dropping.  How things change in Montana!
