We live in some truly amazing times. The World Cup will be starting soon and there's a doctor from Brazil that has the audacious plan to have a paralyzed person be able to use a exoskeleton suit and control it with his own mind. It's truly amazing to think that we are on the cusp of being able to see paralyzed people walk again on their own accord. You can read the full article at The Dream Kickoff, it's awesome to see the things that people can come up with.
I didn't make any moves in my portfolio this past week although I did finally get my full write up about my recent purchase of YUM Brands. I wouldn't say it's all that cheap here but they should have a long runway for growth and it's still a decent starting point for a position. I'll be looking to add on any dips in the future. I I finally got a chance to start writing again after my time was being filled with checking on my grandfather. He's been moved to a physical therapy/rehab center so hopefully we can get him walking again and back on his own in a few months. I'll be glad to go see him again once I'm home this weekend since I had to get back to work. All the more reason to strive for financial independence. If I didn't have to rely on employment income I'd be free to spend as much time as I could with my family. It feels great to get a chance to write some more. I received a request to do a full analysis on Cracker Barrel and the results from the last few years have been truly amazing. You can read the full analysis here.

Another week of being home for a while and then heading back to work. Although I think I'm glad to be back at work so I can finally get some rest. My wife and I were busy just about the whole time that I was home. Saturday was spent painting,...

Somehow yet another week has flown by. I had to head back to work but I was just glad I got the weekend off and got to spend it having fun with my wife. Thankfully no other issues with the house to have to take care of. This week was done in a flash,...

This past week has been really busy. We signed all of the papers on Monday but unbeknownst to us, the sellers weren't going to be at the title company until later that afternoon so we didn't get the keys until later that evening. It's...
