My Fun Fund and The Great Cessation

This is going to be a quick Fun Fund investment journal update to document my thoughts (and actions), so that I can hopefully reflect and improve over time (and, perhaps more likely, for our mutual future amusement).

In that post, I looked at several options and attempted to compare and contrast them on the road to picking one for purchase.  Since we just finished up the first quarter of 2018, I though I would take a look at the performance of these options since the prior post.

Podcast of the Week

I listen to many investing and finance podcasts (I follow around 20). Even a finance nerd like me can become overwhelmed and buried in the abundance of beautiful pods.  It can be a real drag on your time.  So, I am going to start to “dive on the grenade” and provide you, dear reader (or future self), with one podcast per week that may be worth a listen.
