The rise and Fall of September

September has usually been a good month for stocks, so I was surprised that this year was not a good one for my portfolio. These last few weeks have been the worst with stocks going up a little and then crashing down. I know the uncertainty that exists with our fears of recession, war, the Fed raising interest rates more while failing to stop inflation. The only positive investment that continues to make me money every month are my I - Bonds that I started buying a few years ago and I continue to buy more. I started with a few hundred and now I have purchased a few thousand to date.

Warren Buffets rule of never selling for a loss keeps me hanging in for when my portfolio or even individual stocks will take a turn up to sell with a profit or "never sell anything". So I continue to watch my shares of Coca Cola, Ford and so many others continue to take losses that it is disturbing for the mean time, but I know that in a few years we might just see the end of the rainbow. so I have including some graphic images

Coca Cola is a rollercoaster

Ford had it's high and now we seem to be stuck in low

Hang in there and stick it out until we profit again. Do not let government take control. I hope we get a better president who thinks about the people, because what is coming will require supreme intelligence and restraint.

May God be with us all!
