Until Brandon started sabatoging the economy I thought I was set. Enough divvy stock in my Roth and decent cash cushion for rainy days. Now I need to accept some risk for future comfort. I figured I could get by on 20% less divvy income so sold that much stock and added 60% of my cash that was going to shrink drastically if I didn’t put it somewhere. My brother is pretty sharp in the market. He made and blew close to a million before he was saved by AA. Now he is on the rise again. He made a convincing case for one stock. The only other time I took his advice I bought for $1 and sold for $22 a few years later.

So I’m all in for a gold mining stock (AUY) cheap enough that I could buy a lot of shares and looks to me like safe to hold for 5-6 years if inflation is as bad as expected. If it flops my standard of living will go down, but not so much that I’ll be living month to month. I’d make different bets if I were younger, but like Jerry long term isn’t a thing.
