Shay’s Blog

The past week has not been kind to the stock market. I slip back below the threshold I hit a few weeks ago. The threshold was my net worth exclusive of my house and car was positive. I hope market stabilizes next week, but I am a long-term investor so I should let dips along the road bother. I did shift $5,000 from my cash reserve to an ETF tracking the S&P 500 on Tuesday when the market started its slide. I figured the decline would have some sort of bounce. Boy was I wrong! The market continued its decline later. It fell more again during the week.

You may have noticed that my blog looks a different.  I updated to the current wordpress version which caused my theme to stop working.  I found this one which had a nice clean look to it.  Most of the plug-ins are working which was nice.  I am not sure if I am going to keep it since it does not match the rest of my site.  I would like to redesign my site at some point.  It is much too busy layout than what I need.  Enjoy the new look!
