I also enjoyed the article on Brett Wilson, I didn't know anything about him. I am a firm believer that we're going to see another major market tumble. But I think it will be triggered by governments around the world running out of stimulus money and suddenly starting to scratch their heads on how to repay that money (read as raising taxes) and getting (future) rampant inflation under control (read as being raising interest rates). That double whammy will knock the stuffing out of our private sector economies. Thanks CC. I also enjoyed the article on Brett Wilson, I didn’t know anything about him.

Except it was the humidifier on the furnace, The slow leak of the past month turned into more of a gusher. Couldn't determine what was wrong so called the furnance company. They warned it would be $80 to just come and diagnose. Then more $$$ for parts and labor to fix. Turned out they sent the wrong evaporator pad when it was replaced earlier this winter. So their fault and no charge. But floor around furnace has big water stain. I had a basement water problemy like Michael James this week too.

The profile of him with a heart is either spot on or he has Oscar willing acting abilities. Part of Wilson' appeal is his candor about his failures and how he has learned from them. Good life and finance lessons to apply. I have seen Brett Wilson speak publicly. The profile of him with a heart is either spot on or he has Oscar willing acting abilities.

I didn't just grapple with the rent/buy decision on the water heater, I literally grappled with the heater -- those things are heavy! Thanks for the mention.

The top picks underperformed the market by wide margin. Investors who would like to review the past picks of the "experts" can do so by visiting stockchase.com. The exercise should prove to be very enlightening.
