Postcards: What I Told The Founders...

Today I did a recording for members of the Republic Founders Circle... and went on for 80 minutes covering events in the markets and our approach to the markets. Let's recap a few key highlights

Market Update: This wasn’t a bad day; we saw relatively weak selling. The buying pressure tapered off. It’s tomorrow that we need to worry ourselves about. It was a good day for shipping stocks. Don’t be shocked if the sector continues a solid run in January.

Dear Fellow Expat:

My wife has a way about her.

She can say words that make me “shudder.”

Take this morning, for example.

She told me the weather report in Baltimore for the weekend ahead.

“It’ll be under 40 degrees all three days we’re there,” she said.

We’re heading to Baltimore this weekend for work and to visit family since we did Christmas in Florida. The weather in the Florida Republic is temperate, and the traffic - although packed - is easier to navigate than the “Beltway” around the city.

In January, we’re still outside. My daughter is roller skating now. And she has now started to master riding a bicycle. I’d take the credit, but that’s all on her mother.
