Excited to dive into my early copy of ’s new book (out in April). I’ve seen him put in the daily work over the course of years to hone a system and get better and better and better. As readers, we get his distilled answers to dozens of investing questions!

The best Spider-Man isn’t Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, or Tom Holland. Somewhere in the Spider-Verse, there’s a Back To the Future-era Michael J. Fox slinging webs.

The details... Step 1: Enroll in your company's 401k. Step 2: Your company matches according to their rules. Fine print: I used $1,000 and a 1-for-1 match as an illustrative example. Bonus: You're probably eligible for much more than a $1,000 total company match. :)

What about for 2022 and beyond? Owning stocks is a long-term game, so we'll have to see how these stocks do over a longer term, like 5 years. I still like the long-term prospects for most of these now-cheaper stocks above. Expect many of these names on my 2022 list.

Diversification kept these numbers from being even worse. I often comment that I believe in Berkshire AND Bitcoin as an example of two ends of a spectrum. Weirdly, they BOTH did pretty well in 2021 (60% for Bitcoin, 29% for Berkshire) and much better than general growth.

If you're like me, it's easy to see a company you own that's down a bunch and do a hair-trigger buy (I've done the research already, seems fine still, better price). But then what about the next day when you're reminded about a second stock and wish you'd bought it instead? 6/

When one of our stocks is down 40%, 50%, 80%...one of two things kicks in: 1) Yuck, this was a mistake OR 2) Ooh, this is an opportunity to buy more. A lot depends on conviction and on individual mindset. And whether the company is just a "baby out with the bathwater." 5/

If I was doing a self-assessment, I'm great at adding to savings regularly and owning a lot of companies. Great at holding during down periods, weaker during run-ups and for big winners (i.e. more nervous in good times than bad). Long-term oriented but can work on FOMO.

Eating out has always been my big luxury, but this one is bugging me a bit, especially as the daily cup starts slipping from being a cherished treat (and excuse to get out of the house) to just being. We'll see if I get a Keurig machine soon...love those things.

What happened? In 2020, we were both making our own coffee in the morning. Now, excited to be out of the house a bit, I pick up two coffees for us each day, often after dropping off the kids at school. Increase that when we get the kids bagels or if family's over.

For those freaking out about the market today... If you can make it one more hour without doing something you might regret, you've got two-and-a-half days to calmly and rationally assess the situation.

Thankful for the stock market. At its best, it… 1) Aligns incentives around general human prosperity. 2) Allows anyone who can save a few dollars to have the likes of Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Warren Buffett, Cathie Wood, and Jack Bogle working for them.
