It’s Sunday here in Puerto Rico, and I’m finishing out the last few hours of a great week. For the first time since I can remember, I gave myself permission this past week to take a “vacation” from trading research. I still check my crypto trading twice a day to make sure it’s going smoothly, …
One Month in Utah and Random Thoughts
I’m still in Utah, closing in on a month as of today. It’s everything I could want for a summer residency: beautiful mountain views/fresh air/amazing hiking, good weather, good coffee, a great gym, nice people, and the right amount of infrastructure (Whole Foods, etc.) that I don’t feel lacking in any first world convenience. I …
Trading Thoughts and Recommendations
I finally made some solid initial summer travel plans, starting with a one-way ticket to Utah on June 11. I’ve been planning to visit my friend Jeff in Montreal and then head to Sweden for the summer for a long time, but closed borders changed things. Fortunately my friend Ari in Utah has offered to …
One More Week
After talking with Jeff, I realized that I wasn’t clear in my blog last week about when I’m leaving for Colombia. He thought it was imminent, but I’m actually not going until Feb 17th. Sorry for any confusion. If I get a post up next week, it should be my last one from the United …
2020 Begins
I wasn’t sure how long my holiday blogging hiatus would be, but it seems like a good time to get back to it. Hope everyone had a great holiday season, although here in Puerto Rico we’ve just started. Tomorrow is Three Kings Day, which for many people here is bigger than Christmas and New Years. …
Merry Christmas!
I’m currently in the air on my way to Michigan, looking at the clouds floating over the Caribbean. I’m spending almost a week in the town where I grew up, which is probably the most since I was on holiday break in college. The ocean below still looks warm and inviting, but I know soon …
St. Barth’s and Being more Carnivore
Apologies to my loyal blog followers for taking last week off. Ironically I got back from an amazing trip to St. Barths with plenty of pictures to post for once, but I felt mentally drained. There are many weeks where I’m not sure what I’m going to write and push through anyway, but a few …
Some Things I’m Thankful for
Hope everyone in my little readership had a great Thanksgiving. I went to a friend of a friend’s house here in San Juan and had a great evening. I forgot how quickly you can connect with strangers and have a good time if you’re open-minded to the moment. I’ve done a few Thanksgivings and one …
Trading Inspiration
It’s Thanksgiving this week, but Puerto Rico is already into the Christmas season, and will be even more so after Thanksgiving passes. The temperature has cooled down to a not-always-sweating 80 Fahrenheit, and it rains for 1-2 hours a day, which creates a synthetic winter feel after an overly hot fall. The coffee shops, homes, …
Personal Organization for Degenerates
It’s a beautiful Sunday here in San Juan, but at the moment I’m tucked into my bed with the AC blaring. It’s oddly comfortable to work in the bed when I stack my pillows up, but not ideal. I still haven’t found the optimal place to write in my apartment. The second bedroom is a …
