Heyyyy it’s yo boy L-dawg, the financial blogger who doesn’t really write financial blogposts. (go figure) Today I decided to switch it up and actually write something money-related, because a bunch of y’all have been emailing me to ask abouuuuuttttt… REIT ETFs! (woot woot!) This particular post is a little more technical than my usual […]
I love bathroom breaks, especially when it’s time to get down to uhm, “serious business”. That’s the only time in my day when I get to mindlessly scroll through Facebook and Quora without feeling guilty. But this week, as I sat down in my usual cubicle, I started to panic.

A couple of years ago, an Army friend asked me: Index investing sounds great and all, but when you buy the index, you’re just settling for average returns. Why would you settle for average when you can get above-average returns by picking stocks? On the surface, that seems to make sense. Why would you settle
Soooo I was lucky enough to get a short work stint in London (long story), and I’ve been here for a couple of weeks. Here are some interesting observations I had: One good thing about being in a totally new environment: I get to try little social experiments that might seem weird to my friends and
