Yesterday I wrote a post about how billionaires allocate their portfolio. I got the data from a screenshot I took on CNBC on my phone. I wanted to use and explore that data so I opened up LibreOffice Calc app and loaded the data to create a chart. Below is the crap it created. I…
Billionaire Portfolio Allocations
Have you ever wondered where the ultra rich put their money? Well CNBC had a data chart. I grabbed a screenshot and had AI convert it to an infographic and explain the allocations. How does this compare to my portfolio? Well I definitely own equities, cash, other alts, fixed income, real estate and private real…
New AI Tax Calculator
Taxes are the bane of my existence and one of my pet projects is to use AI and build a tax optimization tool to lower or eliminate most of my taxes. As a starting point, I asked google’s gemini to build me a spreadsheet as a starting point. The first thing I wanted to do…
Money Perspectives: работа (rabota) and труд (trud)
I had intended on starting a series on money perspectives from different cultures. I wrote a post here and here to get started then I had so many other topics and then AI came into the picture that I had forgotten all about it until I came across an interesting Reddit post on retirement dysfunction….
The Schengen Shuffle
I had hoped to retire by now but the current global situation has me continuing to work. There is no point in retiring if the world doesn’t have fuel to fly planes, trains or automobiles. I don’t want to retire and just sit at home. The whole point of retiring is to travel and explore…

Is This Fair Or Cheating?
One of my pet peeves in life is people over charging for information. The trade-off is usually, you’ll get info for “free” but you have to watch advertisements or you won’t have to watch ads but you’ll have to pay for the information. These two models are what sustains most of the Internet and media…
April 2026 Inflation Report
Last week I wrote a post entitled, “Food Inflation Is Insane” and today the BLS released the April consumer price inflation report and it shows inflation is running close to 4 percent! CNBC has a great chart about where inflation hit hardest and food is definitely one of those items: The chart shows the pain…
New App: Options Flow Dashboards
Necessity is the mother of invention. My AI built apps are working great making me a ton of money but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement. A key issue I have right now with options is trade execution. Sometimes the issue is bid/ask mismatch but I think most of the time it is…
