Today is a volatile day in stocks. I promised myself that I would never become a stock watcher when I retired. I would be active and busy and not one of those people who sit home following the minute- by- minute progress of the market. Today, however, it is tempting to keep a close eye on the situation. The big question is whether it's time to sell my stocks and stock funds or grin and bear it and do nothing.
Like many retirees I have made more money sitting on my behind the past year than I ever made working. However, we all know the time comes to pay the piper. Is it time to sell or not? Hard to tell. I'll probably sit on my hands. I usually do.
Editor's note: I have become a fan of Emma Chamberlain. Most of the vlogs I follow get less than 10,000 views. She gets views in the millions. I don't know why. Most of the time she doesn't do anything. She drives around LA. She cooks. She plays the drums. She sulks. She is the baby boomer's image of how the younger generation lives. She seems to be on hiatus from YouTube but her podcast is called "Anything goes".
