On the road again!
I will be on the road for the next couple of days, and my blog might go a bit radio silent due to some less-than-stellar internet. Think of it as my posts taking a little vacation while I’m out exploring. Please do not worry, I will be back to my regular blogging routine as soon…

Worry less about money and enjoy life more
I recently caught up with some old friends over coffee. Exiting our coffee meeting, from my perspective of higher consciousness, I could not help but be struck by the pervasive influence of money on anything even over major family life decisions, even for someone who is significantly wealthier relative to me and could be so…

Weekly breakfast
Ouch! I had breakfast with a broker who told me about a friend who invested it all into one stock and then got absolutely hammered even in a bull market. Never mind. Last week was a volatile week for investors but it ended on a bright note. Markets saw a slight pickup in volatility and…
There is a lot to love here
It is time to show off! These days words like “AI” and “robotics” are thrown around by executives of companies to attract the attention of investors. Indeed, the AI era is a transformative force with the potential to reshape industries and societies on a global scale. The growing preference for automation over human labor is…
