Dear Reader

It has been a challenge and a pleasure writing in this forum over the past 20 months. Perhaps it has been helpful to you, perhaps it has been entertaining. Some of you report that you have learned things here that you did not find anywhere else.

My decision is therefore to stop writing and spend my energy and attention on my own needs and those of my family.  Hopefully, you can understand this decision.

The nearly 200 posts will remain accessible. Many of them remain relevant to the extraordinary times we live in. Thank you for your readership. May you have great success in your investing.
