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…
Everyone’s Talking About S&P500 “Enshitification”
Michael Green has a recent article entitled “There is no joy in Mudsville” which is a must read. I’ve seen numerous CNBC personalities, YouTubers and others talk about the recent decision to allow non-profitable companies into the S&P 500. There are other rule changes that add concern as well. Personally, I’ve been investing in RSP…

In essence much of my reading time for leisure, pleasure and work revolves around money. I recently caught up on…
Having AI Audit AI On My Trades
As I use AI and AI created programs to drive my investment portfolio, I considered it was a good time to step back and have a closer look at the things AI is generating and perform an “audit” on what I’m doing right now. Who better to audit AI than another AI? The image below…
Zepbound: My Health Journey – March Year 3
I completed the 12.5 ml dose and started the 15 ml. I have lost a few pounds and lost my appetite. It honestly feels like when I first started Zepbound from the very beginning. The downside is I am now having more severe side effects. For starters, I seem to get a mild headache whenever…
Planting A Garden In Case Of An Apocalypse
This past weekend I went to Home Depot and bought some seeds and soil for a home garden. Over the years I have gardened on & off largely growing small veggies but mostly herbs for my kitchen. Unless you’re a farmer, the math for home grown veggies almost NEVER works in favor of the home…
