Hi Phil, hope all is going well for you. My wife and I have always followed your advice, as we have never been market timers. We follow the "Hold What You Got" advice found on the backs of many W502 cards. We held what we had during the 2007-09 recession, and our investments turned out okay. We are hoping for the same result once the recession/stagflation period we are now entering is over. We have been tempted to move $$ from our high-yield savings account into our S&P 500 fund when we thought the stock market had hit rock bottom, but we've never had the courage to take the plunge.

One of my collecting focuses is type cards. I'm especially partial to scarce type cards with neat advertising, such as the nice Shotwell Mfg. Co. card you traded me 2 years ago. But hey, you got my Western Playground type card which I still miss, and I doubt you care to offer it back to me. Tell you what, you come up with a Sam Rice card I need, especially a Witmor Candy with the vertical back, and you'll have your Shotwell back in a heartbeat!
