I am fortunate to split my time between Charlotte and Asheville.I keep my portfolio up-to-date and take pride in writing about funds, stocks, and sectors I actually follow and invest in. I believe my followers appreciate that approach.My strategy is to invest in quality and diversify, add at the right times, and focus on the long run. Chasing risk, trying to make too much too quickly, or following advice you don&#8217;t understand are all pitfalls I made and that experience has taught me well. I hope to help others along the way as a result.Broad market: DIA, VOO, QQQM, RSPSectors\/Non-US: XLE\/IXC; IDU\/BUI, FEZ, SCHF, EWC, EWU, EWAAlternatives: Bitcoin, Gold, Silver (IAU, SLV, &amp; CEF)Stocks: JPM, MCD, WMT, FLUT, MAADebt: Municipal bonds from North CarolinaI also contribute to the investing group CEF\/ETF Income Laboratory  where I specialize in macro analysis.
