  Sold off my small punt in Nike@3% loss after it hits my stop loss. The share has been much weaker than my expectations, even after the ceasefire good news and weak inflation data. There is no sign of a quick bounce after a 30% drop since the start of the year. I should have said told myself at first “Just don’t do it”. Capital will be redeployed. The loss will be accounted at the end of month portfolio update. God bless. 🙏 Please consider following us on telegram for the latest update on Lone Wolf investor by clicking on the link below.

He was complaining about how uncomfortable the chair sat. That encounter struck him; having money is good, but the wisdom in spending that money plays an important part in making one happy.

Through the eyes of the third party, we always know how best the person should spend their money. We are always guided by our own personal experience and ci...
