The past two weeks have been pretty rough. Not due to the increased volatility but due to life in general. My grandfather passed away almost two weeks ago and a week ago Friday was the funeral. The man was one of the most kind hearted and loving people that I've ever met and it hurts so much to not have him with us anymore. But I know he's better off because he's no longer suffering or having to deal with knowing that he can barely move on his own any more. It still blows my mind thinking back on his life and how he was a World War 2 vet and just thinking of all of the changes that he witnessed in his life. On top of that after things had settled down a bit with Lucas now we're back on another roller coaster. Things are definitely looking better than before but he's still got a long journey ahead of him. My wife and I both could definitely go for a bit of a normal and boring stretch.
What a difference a week or two makes. The markets were quite volatile this past week with the DJIA having 100+ point moves every day. I didn't invest a whole lot of capital but I did add to my position in Emerson Electric and there's still a few more companies that I'm looking at for potential purchases. What companies have you been buying or looking at for purchase?

Another week down and we can count off September as well. The second half of September took the markets on quite a ride but with volatility increasing that usually means lower prices and better entry points. I took advantage of the volatility earlier...

Well this past week was just grinding away in the blistering heat down here in south Texas. Luckily I don't actually work outside but man it was extremely hot. We should be able to finish this well up sometime this weekend and I can't wait...

It feels great to get back to sense of normalcy. I was off work for 2.5 weeks although originally it was just supposed to be 1. The first part of my time off was great since I got to hang out with some great buddies of mine and we went to Vegas for...
