In praise of portfolio diversification, I wonder how one Elon Musk feels about watching his precious Tesla stock crater, losing billions in the process. Gee, maybe now he is only the second richest man on the planet. Stuff happens, Elon.

Leon, I promise this is financial and not political.

Other investments -- Twitter and Space X -- are equal shitshows.

I listened to a vintage card podcast with guest Joe Orlando. Long story short, because of the emotional attachment (which is different than other investments), he feels nice vintage cards would be relatively safe during economic downturns.
