Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?

A year ago I was hopeful of some growth in the stock market and as long as you were invested in the most expensive stocks the markets set records. If, however, you were a retail investor invested in growth stocks, you were punished by Wall Street unhappy about the revealing of their corrupt activities by hedge funds. The pendulum swings both ways and there is a day of reckoning in the near future politically and economically.

I’ve learned to be more patient and am disappointed in seeing what is happening but have acquired even more faith that justice will prevail and good will defeat evil. I spend more time reading and learning things related to my spirituality than I did last year. Furthermore, I was more consumed with doing the research that was necessary for stock trading, but the markets have changed, and I’ve become a buy-and-hold investor out of necessity.
