Ben Rodriguez, thanks for the kind words. Back in 2024 I wrote an article about my NUA journey. With XOM trading near all time highs, NUAing more of my low cost basis shares might make sense, though the current plan is to let it all ride, keeping my 401(k) and strategically selling XOM shares. Please feel free to ask specific questions here, or in my linked article.
Bruce Roberts, I appreciate you replying to Mark as I thought you might me taking a page from the Adam Grossman playbook. Btw: I'm thinking you may want lay in a stock of 5.56x45mm NATO ammo for defending your gold and trading for canned beans and the latest copy of The New American.
David Mulligan, I think you, Dan Smith and Jeff Bond should start some sort of Fisher mailer recycling program. It could go a long way towards mitigating Global Warming.
Dan Smith, Say it isn't so! Let me get Steve Y. on the phone and set you and the Missus up for some free Kibbeh and Tabbouleh. And when you go ask him "What happens when the company decides its customers are eating into its profits and decides to shut down?" as David Mulligan (see below) wants to know.
William Perry, thank you for your most insightful comments. Any appreciation you may have for my chapter has to do with Jonathan's innovative idea for the book and his skillful editing of my prose. If anyone else might want to read both, then . . . https://humbledollar.com/book/my-money-journey/

Leo Shanley, appreciate your feedback, and you my friend sound like a man who'd "never walk into a place [you] don't know how to walk out of."

Howard Schwartz, thanks for your feedback, though I think “short-changed” is a better synonym.
