Trading
I am a gold bug, and I do like silver as well. There are other hard assets that may protect your wealth too. These could be commodities, oil, wheat, and others. Every month I add to my position in my portfolio. This month I have bought LSE:HOC (ticker). It is a gold miner, and I used my best invest account. It should go up. I believe in buying real assets. Ray Dalio may agree with my little purchase.
I like Ray Dalio. He knows money better than me. He is a big player in the game of finance. His book on the changing world order is impressive. I agree with his position too. Moreover, I have just watched a good you tube clip on finance. I believe that Francis Hunt has a good position on here. You do not have to agree with any positions of the speakers that I have highlighted. Learning trading is tough. I am just trying to help.
Trading I love so much, and I will never stop doing it. If you love it, never give it up. However, if people say that trading is easy, I would disagree because it is like anything else. If you would like to learn the piano well, it will take years of practice. Financial trading is the same.
We all know that the oil price is high, but there is a problem with investing in it. The tricky problem is that it is not a green energy. Goldman Sachs has written a good article here about this issue. Moreover, the world keeps going from one dilemma to the next. Lyn does great articles on lots of other topics too. Here is her twitter account
Personal development
It is all little steps. However, it does sound easy, but it is hard to do. With you-tube there is a lot to learn. This is my second turn at it. Therefore, it will be easier. The six-pack is the same. I know that I must overcome hurdles. Never give up; it is just finding solutions.
For example, my training on Friday 20th has been good. My diet is improving. Stress and diet are linked. I must do relaxing exercises. This will probably impower me.
If I get stressed, I do eat more peanut butter and bread in higher portions. It comforts me. This is my weakness. Everybody has their comfort foods, or it may be a nice meal with wine together. Relaxing without bad habits is my goal. Writing this blog is one of them. Helping others we may help ourselves too. I never drink alcohol because I like a clean life.
This week I have been relaxing more. Getting that work life balance, and I am feeling that I am getting somewhere. I am. It just takes patience.
On another subject, in one my shops that I sometimes go to, I had an odd conversation. If you travel, you will have them. People sometimes like it if you make small chat with them. I speak the truth on my travels. If you stay in one place, the bubble may get boring. If you come to my blog, you might find it entertaining also. I hope you do. We all like distractions from our everyday lives.
Now I have been writing this blog for about a month. I have just started a good habit.
· I find it relaxing
· My writing is getting better
· I am improving my website building skills
Next I am starting my second you tube channel. This is something that takes a lot of time to master.
· Camera and lighting with tripods
· Video editing
· I have to learn to operate a small second camera
I have just watched a you tube clip on video editing. (This is a good tip.) Take it slow and with time you will learn it. I am always watching you-tube clips on finance. I learn something new every time. Repetition and repeat are how we learn something.
My blog I trust is getting better, and my writing is improving too. It is all about good habits. I keep repeating this, but it is so true. People get stuck in traps. It could be debt. It may be over-eating bad food, but enjoying it at the same time. The secret is replacing the bad habit with a good one.
In turn my new habits are becoming the norm for me. This will assist with me getting the six-pack. If you come near me, your life will get better. My daughter had a wish, a dream. I made it this a reality. Bianca is so happy now. You will be too. Building and growing is the key for all
Van Life
I have just done an install of a 100w solar kit to my van. It appears to work well. Free energy is just right up my street. Solar is an easy job for anyone. It is basically two cables from the solar to the solar charger. Then two cables to the battery bank.
This install just makes the van life more pleasurable. My fridge works well during the day, but I must switch it off at night. This was due to energy usage. I will be buying a 500w power bank in order to run a freezer at night. The problem with solar is that if the weather Is not sunny. I may not obtain a full charge. Therefore, I have a petrol generator means that I always have power. I can recharge the power bank with it, if solar fails due to weather issues. In addition, the freezer will assist with me obtaining the six-pack.
If I were starting out, I would have a petrol generator because it is so easy to use. You could kit out a new van build with it. I always have this as a back-up if I have a weather issue. The petrol generator is a win-win.
My next purchase will be more solar panels. I will buy another 100-watt panel because the one panel is not enough. (It is the weather.) If it is dull, I can get some solar but with two panels I will more chance of getting a good charge.
Getting rid of waste is a hassle with the van life too. Especially, if you have cardboard that you have to get rid of because it is bulky. In the van you have limited space. Therefore, you have to get rid of waste nearly every day. I usually have a bin full each day. Sometimes I can go for two days without getting rid of any waste. However, this occurrence is not often.
I find that I drive all over the UK. Therefore, my driving is not like a local. I may go into the wrong lane, or I may have to go around the roundabout again. However, new experiences are so refreshing. I was in Abingdon the other day, and some of the local looked miserable. If I get miserable, I move to somewhere that makes me happy. This could be by a river, or I might go to another gym somewhere I have never been.
Freedom is so attractive because most conform and do not create a new life. With me you can.

Ian is wishing you no harm. Be good, be calm and always work on yourself.
