Yes this is a brag but it really turned out great lol

Kinda ridiculous how the markets kept rallying in the face of increasing death, political turmoil and the riots. We're pretty much back to pre-COVID levels for the S&P 500 and some other equities are hitting ATHs.

Probably time to take profits and rebalance idk.

The ASX is getting slaughtered today...or at least my portfolio is

LSE too. I think some of my trailing stop losses will get triggered today.

I've always had the same simple policy of drawing a sensible balance between spending now and saving for a future I might not live to see, based on my income at any given time. No investments. I wouldn't earn the nickname Risktaker1, but it's stress free.

Hah there was a piece in the paper today about the r/wallstreetbets hardos, in particular about how they've pumped Hertz after they filed for Ch.11. And now Hertz has obtained approval to sell a billion USD worth of shares in a private placement. Handy.

Just about to pour $35k or so into kitchen renovations at my rental property. Interesting time to do it, but Dunedin property should hold up OK.

Have you had many issues with tenants?

No, I struck it lucky. I've had the same tenants (a retired couple) in there since I started letting the place 3.5 years ago. They're arranging to head away for a few weeks while the kitchen is done - I've offered them a rent-free period during that time, so that should keep everyone happy.
