The real benefit of having a low return target to cover expenses is that you don’t have to take full market risk if you don’t have too. 🎯 Having already 2x my return target and seeing various potential triggers for volatility grow I happily turned our RISK DIAL down again. ⚖️ Maybe I miss out on some gains? That’s okay. There will always be new opportunities. I’d rather be less rich than more poor. 💰 And the beauty about investing is that we can always change our mind. Personally I just prefer to increase protection when things get cloudy. ☁️⛅️☁️ I have no idea if Sept will end higher or lower. But until I feel I have more clarity on what lies ahead I’m happy to give some of my $$$ a well deserved rest. 😴 Protecting capital is part of growing capital. Perspective ≠ Prediction Do what’s best for you. 😉👍

Congratulations on doubling your target rate. I’m in your camp, and looking for only 6% total return on average, but protection is much more important. I’m learning and have strangely become much more patient, waiting out all this uncertainty. Maybe because I have so much dry powder ready!
