I definitely think the Smith Man. post should be a regular feature!

Hi, I just discovered your blog today. Love the links on this post, especially the one about new/used vehicles. My husband also writes a debt free blog. Please feel free to check it out, it’s called Engineer a Debt Free Life at http://engineeradebtfreelife.blogspot.com

would like to see more from preet on his “equity collar” thread, since it is not a realistic profit maker, just a hedge.on the downside.

Maybe preet can post other option strategies that show how to make money in any market, as well as protecting on the downside.

Thanks

I agree that the post about cars was really inspiring.
I prefer used cars to new ones.

Net Worth updates are useful to do once a month since you started this habit, having to post it for the blog makes sure that the calculation is up to date.

For SM updates, they are very useful as pointed out by DG, but every month might be too much.

I liked the motivational article this month, it is a good reminder to take action !

FT – whatever works. The NW posts are relatively easy for you which also a plus.

Please keep the Smith Manoeuvre updates coming. This blog is really the only source for the nitty gritty details on SM.

Thanks,
Dan.

FP, yes, I can see how the net worth posts can get boring as very little changes. However, I think there would be an uproar from some readers if I were to stop posting them on a monthly basis. :) I think you may be right with the portfolio updates though as there will be some months with no activity, especially since i’m only looking to buy when the stocks get cheap.

I enjoyed the car post as well. The picture was appealing though..

One thing about buying a used car is the extra time it takes to look at the various cars -especially private sales.

I enjoyed your Smith Man post – more so than the net worth since I don’t find net worth posts all that exciting (but they are ok).

I would suggest maybe doing the SM update every quarter? Every month might be too often since a lot of months there won’t be much to talk about. This might apply to the net worth posts too.

Just some ideas – no right or wrong answers!
