Maybe we’re the generation that our kids will also look and say: ‘They gambled everything in the stock market thinking it would keep always going up…’”… [Continue Reading]
JLCollinsnh.com Enters New Era
In the beginning… Forgive me if you have heard this tale before. I’ve told it several times now on various podcasts. It is the origin story of this blog.

Why I will no longer be writing this blog
My ship has come in and I am riding off into the sunset. To mix a couple of metaphors. If you are a fan, you are likely a bit shocked and disappointed. I am sorry for that. If you are one of my detractors, like Bob here on twitter… Bob’s Backtested Bunker “the fact that… [Continue Reading]
