Is It Different This Time?

Not a chance!

John Templeton. The four most dangerous words in investing are “This time it's different.”

A Step In Time

Two years ago (3/10/20) I began my Covid-19 quarantine.

How was I to know that I’d have two years to create a new business or make progress on another degree?

How was I to know that when a vaccine was miraculously created I would have a pharmaceutical interaction that prevented my body from building antibodies?

There are days that I log almost as many steps walking from kitchen to living room to bedroom to kitchen, as I do on a morning walk taken in search of vitamin-D, fresh air, and perhaps human interaction from the required six feet.

Plenty of time for introspection, self-loathing, personal growth, and just about anything else associated with a New Year’s resolution or a back to work/earn a living plan.

Why Is The Newsletter Titled 1929?

The year 1929 was historic in numerous ways:

• End of the Roaring 20’s

• The year of The Great Crash and the start of 15 years of hardship

• A lead event to World War II

• A lead event for the great expansion post WWII

Why do I find this important? I see similarities, cyclical similarities, historical reflections:

• We are back in the Roaring 20’s (2020’s)

• The stock and housing markets are booming

• On the verge of war in Europe
