Thank you, readers, and everyone who has liked, commented, or sent messages on my articles. It means a lot, and boy, did 2025 fly by. It was a busy year for me, sometimes it was difficult keeping up the weekly article pace.
Over the past year, I’ve discussed things like economics, the markets, energy, silly policies, and introduced a new model portfolio. Thank you again, and hopefully you all have a great 2026!
Here are some of my highlights and favorites from the past year. Check them out if you haven’t yet!
