About Me
- TENNINDEPENDENT
- I am no longer in a capital accumulation phase. My key investment objectives are capital preservation and income generation. I started to buy stocks in the late 1960s. I have a balanced worldwide portfolio with a considerable allocation to cash.

I am not a financial advisor but simply an individual investor who has been managing my own money since I was a teenager. In this blog, I am acting solely as a financial journalist focusing on my own investments.

Instead, I am merely expressing some of the reasons underlying the purchase or sell of securities. Nothing in this blog is intended to constitute investment or legal advice or a recommendation to buy or to sell. All investors need to perform their own due diligence before making any financial decision which requires at a minimum reading original source material available at the SEC and elsewhere. For purchases of bonds and preferred stocks, the prospectuses need to be reviewed until fully understood by the investor.
