Time flies as we are already due for another DIY Portfolio
update. As usual, you can expect our subsequent update in about 12 weeks, in
May 2019.

There sure was a lot of
action on the markets since our last update. We even got a scary wild ride
around the end of last year. The US government shutdown and all political
uncertainty surrounding it sure don’t help. Are we now getting accustomed to
it? One thing for sure, it’s probably not the end of it and more turbulence can
be expected. But don’t worry, that’s life on the markets and what we must
endure to benefit from greater long-term returns. A small price to pay if you
think about it.
All that volatility
sure provided plenty of attractive opportunities. Today, we’ll elaborate about
some of that buying including that we finally pulled the trigger on
Colgate-Palmolive (CL).
We’ll also talk about
how in the last few weeks, we got a little deeper in our retirement planning. We
found out everything retirement related sure can get complicated.
Once more, I’ll remind you that I
am not an investment or tax professional of any kind. The intent of this blog
is not to give specific investing advice. Before investing yourself, we suggest
you do all necessary research and consult a licensed financial professional if
need be.
