I use the word insanity in a broad sense. I also say “Crazy is good.”
I think most people understand the context I use.

A red screen today. Seems like United Health Care will take the DOW lower as a big supporter is selling, the CEO just quit, and momentum continues.
Pretty much rainy weather persists through next week except one day.
Unstable weather and an unstable economy…

United Health Care is being investigated by the Justice Department for Medicaid fraud. This will kill the stock and also take down the DOW again.
Not good.
Gold is attempting to cross $3.2K. When you expand the gold chart it becomes clear the trend is an upward climb and the fluctuations, dips, and retractions is just a consolidation before a move higher. Seems like just below $3.2K is attracting bids and is where to set a buy order.
For me the long-term for gold and real estate will be sustained long-term gains. I think a better bet than the equities or bond markets, also safer with less volatility.
Right now the markets are defying inflation signals, Dollar loss of purchasing power, higher prices, and eventually a slower economy. In other words I see a downtrend that eventually will happen, an economic slowdown, and a FED that has a very limited envelope to operate in.
High debt levels by the government and households will compound any slowdown or downturn. From experience I know that paying down debt is a crushing experience.

Walmart is not going to eat the price increases: the consumer will.
600 tonnes of gold were imported in the first two months of 2025. Banksters filled their vaults from inventories stored in London and Switzerland. The banks know about gold as a store of value and how inflation will kill Dollar assets.
There was fear that policies or even Tariffs would be placed on Gold imports… BTW most of this gold went to banks in New York.
The old CEO of United Health Care who retired in 2019 is coming back to rescue the company, a DOW component.
Did our last trip to the periodontist on Lawn-Guy-Land. We are going to secure a dentist and periodontist up here in Westchester. Driving through the Bronx is hellish.
Monday I get the second chemical castration injection. It takes up to six months or two injections to have the full effect.
“Maggie” progresses a good amount every day. She has some arthritis in her right hip. The left hip was replaced almost 20 years ago and is still good. Basically she jammed her hip socket and inflamed it. A different kinda bursitis…
Rest and taking it easy. The takeaway is learning that part of aging is learning to live with real limitations. Pretty much because of my Cancer I easily accept that, now I’m trying to maintain my fitness, good health, and weight along with these limitations.
I’m thinking I could use a 63 gear inch single speed to do laps through Blue Mountain. Pretty much not the dirt trails, but the roadways to the parking lots, and an asphalt pedestrian pathway. I need to burn calories, elevate my heart rate, and pump blood.
EZ-PZ because Blue Mountain is nearby, and with the gloomy moody mountain weather being close to home is a wise thing. Not an exciting ride, but there are enough climbs to involve some challenge and strength training to do intervals. I can attach the hills and use the pedestrian path to recover.
This is an underutilized park. I have to do make doing this every day as easy as possible.
I’m off to visit AJ.
