Slice and Dice
ETFs are a great way to invest. Rather than picking individual stocks, you can pick a theme, sector, size, geography, the whole market, or something exotic. There are ETFs for AI Companies, American Companies, Large Companies, and even Large, American, AI companies. But my favourite one has to be the MAGA ETF, which only “invests”…

It sucks to be average
There are some careers where being “mid” is totally fine. The median Federal Government employee does just fine. So does the average person working in financial services or healthcare. Not everyone is the hedgefund rainmaker or lead surgeon, but the person at the 50th percentile isn’t missing rent. Other careers are way differently distributed. Journalism.…

Leadership
I had my six month review at work today. We live to fight another day. One of the topics that came up was on leadership. Thinking about it now in bed, I am reflecting on how little emphasis we put on it at the micro level while still recognising its importance at the macro level.…

Pool Day
Yesterday it was a hundred degrees, and we were absolutely cooking. So we did what any sane person would do, we went to the pool. Our good friends live near a neighberhood pool, and I really mean it. Their local watering hole is owned, managed, and (mostly) frequented by the nearby residents. Large signs warned…

No thank you, Nantucket
For the East Coast elite, a summer away in the Hamptons or Nantucket is just a part of life. Like Monaco, Beverly Hills and Mayfair, these places have a reputation for being very, very expensive. But how expensive is that? Give me a number. So I looked up what a week in Nantucket would cost…

Let us shid
What’s the biggest story in America right now? The Iranian War? Fauci’s testimony? The mid-terms? None of the above. The one story capturing America’s, and the world’s, attention is the Taco Bell Lettuce Disaster. For the uninitiated, Taco Bell is a bottom-tier “Mexican” chain serving “food” in all 50 States.

Why I started this blog
I don’t really use Social Media anymore; I’m too young for Facebook, too old for SnapChat, too normie for Discord and too boring for Instagram. While this buys me back time and peace of mind, it means that it can sometimes be difficult to share my life with my friends and family outside of phone calls and in-person meetups. As I live overseas, this can be a difficulty.
With this in mind, and inspired my friend Dan Cullum (check out his fantastic site HERE), I have started a daily blog. Not only will I be able to share my ideas, news, and stories to friends and family, but it serves as a time capsule as I move through life. In the future, I look forward to seeing how my views, opinions, and ideas change over time. At the very least, it is an exercise in discipline, and may be of interest to my descendants at some time in the future.
While I imagine most followers of this blog will be friends and family, all are welcome to subscribe. Feel free to email at harry@harrywetherall.com, I reply to every message, and would love to hear from you.
