A testing time
Published 7.17.2024: This site has been moribund for a number years now, found only by bots and scammers. However, I think the time has come to start over here and publish more often.
And when I say start over, I mean completely over. It turns out that I have apparently lost access to the content that I created previously. So there will be not pretense of reformating older writings, I will simply move forward.
So what, precisely am I testing? Well, for one thing, just what I want to cover here. In the About section I note that I used to write for BCC Research (I don't even know if they still exist) and any notes I have from that time are way too old to use, even if I could access them, apparently I simply cannot.
So It's an open question as to what I will write about here. Politics is out, in part because it's just too depressing and in part because I'm not expert, having never enjoyed politics in any form.
Previous coverage included optics and transportation technologies… so those are options.
Mostly what I would like to do is start publishing on a regular schedule, which is difficult without a topic in hand to write about. So one of the things I need to do (restart doing) is checking on my stock holdings, and actively investing again. I think that will be the plan going forward, which will allow me to write on a number of topics, including optics and transportation because there are obviously investments within each topic.
So at least at the beginning, that's the plan. Step one will be to familiarize my self as to what's actually in the accounts, wince I had a few surprises when I opened it this afternoon. I don't expect that this will be an opportunity for anyone to learn how to invest, but rather it will be a way for me to look at the companies and the technologies that they are developing or selling. And to revisit why I invested in them in the first place.
More to come.
