Thanks! I’m also looking forward to your next posts.
@RetirementInvestingToday
I also recently rebalanced in a way since I sold some off at the peak; If I calculated today I think I’d be at around 6% so somewhat less than my 10% target. I’m ok with that for now until I have some more liquidity again.
@Barb Friedberg
Best of luck to you too, I’m looking forward to reading more from you.
@Forest
No problem, I had a busier week than usual myself so didn’t read as much nor get as much written as I wanted to. I think this week will be better, but the summer vacations are starting too, so I will have to see!
Thanks for stopping by, guys, I appreciate it. Looking forward to reading more!
