Why early retirement is all it’s cracked up to be
Sometimes, the stuff that people say about early retirement (and early retirees) is terrible. It is assumed that early retirement is the end of productive life and that unless we’re swimming in millions in cold hard cash, early retirement will eat us alive.

Gold Price Forecast – Gold markets collapse on Friday
Gold markets broke down drastically during the trading session on Friday, slicing through an uptrend line that has extended from late 2016. This is a major turn of events and could lead to much lower pricing. In fact, I believe that the uptrend line will be a bit of a resistance barrier, so I think that it’s only a matter of time before the sellers will get aggressive.

Supply Chain Caught in Crossfire of U.S.-China Trade Conflict
The Trump administration’s China tariffs spared some finished goods like smartphones and washing machines, while charges on parts and components could drive up costs in the U.S. supply chain. It’s too early to tell which manufacturers will pass higher costs on to customers or seek cheaper suppliers outside China, should the tariffs take effect in three weeks’ time. U.S. President Donald Trump has said the goal is to punish Chinese companies for intellectual property theft, a sensitive issue as the world’s No. 2 economy makes the transition from the world’s low-cost assembler of devices like Apple Inc.’s iPhone to an innovator that makes its own chips and components.
