Berkshire Hathaway has bought Barrick Gold (GOLD) and I bought it on 6/12/20 for the SDIRA portfolio and touched on it in the podcast. I know know who that one listener in Oklahoma is- Big B aka The Oracle of Omaha! In all seriousness, I felt most comfortable with Barrick Gold from the research I did - Just nice to know it's on par with Buffet! HA!

I cover my buys for the week, and even sing a little Elvis impromptu, and explain how I got out of a bad mistake with $1.

You should be able to determine what stock to buy and not have someone do that for you. One of the metrics I use is free cash flow dividend payout ratio, to determine if I want to buy a company. I also chat about what I'm working for and why I work so frequently in my 40s.  Why I'm not overly concerned with the upcoming US Presidential election and you shouldn't be either. So come on in and take a listen!

33 Episodes in and I hit a thousand plays. Very thankful for all the listens!!

Deals are hard to find these days, so I'm nibbling on confidence stocks. Especially XOM, as the entire energy sector has been way down for over a year now. XOM is a fully integrated oil and natural gas behemoth, that I feel will survive this and probably gobble up smaller companies facing bankruptcy.
