I have a piece being published in CityWire this week which I think might make some waves. Its message is that passive and active risk rated funds, in which tens if not hundreds of billions are invested worldwide, are broken and could remain so for years. The reason? High inflation.

As you know by now I make a stock purchase every single month no matter what is going on in the world and despite the doom and gloom headlines. Perhaps I am naive or more of an optimist that we will get through these dark financial times somehow. Either way, I have been busy buying up some stock this month and was happy to put some fresh and recycled capital to work to try and recoup some of my lost dividend income courtesy of the numerous cuts bestowed upon my portfolio in recent years.

A new trading month is about the begin and boy do we have a seemingly endless crop of stocks that are becoming fair valued to undervalued. The reality of the day is that we’ll continue to see stock prices continue to come down as interest rates rise. No reason to believe interest rates will stop climbing anytime soon.

It is never pleasant to be in the midst of a market correction, but a market correction does operate as a cleanser for excesses that enter into even the most disciplined investors' playbooks in the good times. This correction has been no exception, as the threat of losing investment capital has focused the minds of investors, and led many to reexamine practices adopted during the last decade. In particular, there has been more talk of earnings than of revenue or user growth this year, and the notion of cashflows driving value seems to be back in vogue.

Hey everyone This is a post that is a long time running and one that I actually didn’t really want to sit down and write.

This will definitely destroy our passive income at the moment but I feel like its a good move being debt free once again.

You can live a rich life by spending less… Frugal living doesn’t mean skimping on what’s valuable. Instead, it’s a way to maximize value in your life. This is the big difference with being cheap… Cheapskates try to find the lowest price tag on everything. As a result, they often buy goods that don’t last long.

There are two certainties in life… death and taxes. Most people plan for taxes each year but few plan their funeral. It’s a tough topic to discuss but your family will be relieved that you had it planned. Losing a loved one is difficult and when you’re emotionally fragile and grief-stricken, planning a funeral is even harder. Funeral homes know this. They’re for-profit companies, and their industry is booming thanks to the world’s growing (and grieving) population.

As described in my goals post here, my focus has changed to only choosing “Quality” companies for my options trades. Chasing premium is nice when it works, but as you will see below, I have been left with some companies that I would rather not own.

As I described in my post here about my passive income strategy, I will be focusing on 3 key areas 1. Dividends 2. Options 3. Mortgage The first 2 parts all involve the stock market and my main criteria is to focus on quality companies as much as possible. During the last 2 years I have been stuck with some real humdingers, either by chasing yield or chasing premium.
