How was your quarter?
QUESTIONI have a few stocks. I only invest in market segments where I know something about that type of business. I will soon be starting my 50th year in the RE business, so that's where I put most of my investments. There are many different types of investments in RE, so I diversify within my field of...- WJK

Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?
HOT! CHATNew Property: Last week, we finished all of the foundation issues and finished replacing the mud sill on Section #1. We had done most of it before, and had one small 10' to finish. The wall was jacked up for foundation repairs, and now it's set into place. All the floor joists for that...- WJK

Generation Z Apocalypse: is it coming? The Fear is Here.
HOT! MARKETINGI wonder if that is true. When I was a kid, people had one family car. Most of my relatives had no indoor plumbing. We had outhouses. We grew our own food and canned it for our winter food. How many chickens have you killed, drawn, and plucked? I bet I have skills you lack in cleaning...- WJK

Generation Z Apocalypse: is it coming? The Fear is Here.
HOT! MARKETINGI'm a Boomer. It's taken me 50 years of hard work, long hours each week, and careful investing to make my nest egg. I started with nothing in a world that was not very welcoming to women who wanted more.- WJK

Generation Z Apocalypse: is it coming? The Fear is Here.
HOT! MARKETINGMaybe you're right. Maybe this is the lost generation, but those feelings are sure familiar. The Classic Greeks were also concerned about their youth. Their new generation was going to ruin their perfect society. More recently: I remember the British invasion by some long-haired degenerates...- WJK

Generation Z Apocalypse: is it coming? The Fear is Here.
HOT! MARKETINGIt's always been this way. That's where the 5% Club came from. We are ALL surrounded by people who are coasting. Very few are willing to really put out the effort and time to make things happen.- WJK

How was your quarter?
QUESTIONIt's been a great quarter. I’ve recently had a profound insight based on the following truism. It's only taken me about 50 years in RE to get here. I have "arrived". Type A investors own the RE, the patent, the copyright, the mineral rights, raw materials, or other sources of materials for...- WJK

Are 20-40 Years Old More Lonely Than Ever?
NOTABLE! HOT! PEOPLEYes, Seriously. Being angry only hurts you and lets them live in your head. Do you want to give up any of your personal mental real estate to them? Don't you need all your wits about you to create your future? Not only that, walking away, wishing them well, is totally infuriating to them...- WJK

Are 20-40 Years Old More Lonely Than Ever?
NOTABLE! HOT! PEOPLEYou will go through this at each level of your success. You will outgrow the people around you. And then they will reject you, talk smack about you, and dislike your success. They will be sure that either you were lucky or you cheated. Oh well. Get up. Brush yourself off and wish them well. Then...- WJK

Surprisingly simple stupid businesses- that somehow work
GOLD! HOT! IDEAHere, in the US, anyone can sue you for anything. And you must defend yourself. Good luck with your contracts. I think you would need a better hook to make the business work. I would take all the sticking points out -- like accepting credit cards, billing, parts, etc. Most mechanics hate...- WJK
