Passports are taking up to 12 weeks to be renewed.  Don’t stress out too much it looks like the rules are being relaxed for travel to the Caribbean, Mexico and Canada. 

Speaking of the Caribbean, back in the good old days I used to call my stock portfolio the Caribbean Fund.  The plan was to eventually spend much more time in the Caribbean than the U.S.   In March of 2000, I changed its name to the Newark fund.  No offense to anyone from Newark

That is when I really learned the importance of capital preservation.  Trading without stops is hazardous to your Financial Freedom.
