I just received this cry of despair from a good friend, so I wrote him the following that I’d love to share with you all.
"I HATE HIM [DJT] & ALL THOSE AROUND HIM!”
Banish your hate; it’s reallybad for the soul. Keep your reading about this awful business to just headlines: < 15 min/day. Write your congresspersons, and where appropriate tell them: “Please pluck up your courage and do the Right Things!!!; you know what they are, but seem to have forgotten them.” Congregate with and talk with friends about other things. Pick some activities and projects you’ve been putting off for years and get busy with them; focus on the ones that help others. Tip everyone for real or imagined services. Go where there are children playing and sit and watch them. Don’t take tranquilizers. If you are exhausted, take a nap without setting the alarm. Do the Bee 🐝 and Connections puzzles in the NYTs every day- right after you've read the headlines. [settle for “Genius”, and don’t try for Queen Bee- the perfect is the enemy of the good]. Hold hands. Take a walk with the dogs, and keep one 🐶 in your lap the rest of the time. If you have a cat, give it a slow tummy-rub at bedtime; wonderful for both cat and you. Take time in the mountains of Mexico to find and lose yourself. Cook yourself your favorite foods. Get in bed with with your partner more frequently. Be kind, first and foremost to yourself. And finally, take a long luxury trip to Japan with good friends………
I’ve been following all this advice myself, except I’m going to France instead of Japan. ✌🏼 😆 🤣 🤩 🤡 👍🏼 👏🏼 Today is not the end of either hope or history…..nor is tomorrow. ROBERT H. DAILEY. MD

Funny that I looked into MOAT last week, just because I thought an index of the MS wide moat companies would mimic the returns quoted in that MS index [14% compared with the 12% S&P over the last ten years]. It didn't. The outperformance was only fractional. And the fund was actually actively managed by a Van Eek team that didn't impress MS. I passed, disappointed.
Ah.......BH.......the queen of all investments. But isn't a share now about $140,000? It would overwhelm my portfolio. However, it would make perfect sense, too, to simply make BH my portfolio.
But I'd miss the fun of messing around with it.....
