SSAB - April 1, 2025

Beginning of April! Liberation Day tomorrow, or is it a delayed prank?GOLD still popping! But energy lagging, something has got to give. Double bottom on the S&P500? Heat is off and it is a bit cold inside but warm outside.Remember those Chinese courses I signed up for? Yea, gotta finish those. Spent the morning working on one of those.Spent the evening working on Episode 34 of the Language Vlog Podcast. Wondering, why am I doing this? Then I have to remember that it’s not about paying off right now, it’s about having that record and developing the idea over time. I’ve learned a lot during this podcasting, vlogging and “business” set up.Schedule going to change up starting next week. The other teacher is finally arriving in China and so the schedule gets shuffled around. No more working till 9 pm!Donate to the show!
