Air Filters are annoying

But essential and a good analogy on life

Have you ever had a Home Depot run on Saturday night to get a filthy air filter replaced

(How did that hair get there?)

Then leave and realize you got the wrong size

But Home Depot is closed

So you shove the bad boy as much as you can into the slot?

(Just don’t tell me wife)

And even if you did get the right size, these manufacturers never make the sliding process easy for the customer

We overlook it because if the A/C goes out or explodes there are a lot more issues to resolve than the perfect size

This simple task for me represents knowledge.

When you consume it there is a lot of dirt and misc that you must filter out or you are not going to having a functional knowledge to complete the task.

So ask yourself what is your airfilter for

*Investments

*Religion

*Family life

*Politics

We don’t have the time to handle things unfiltered except that one specialty that pays your bills.

Everything else is better with a filter.

An example is commodity prices and prediction markets, if you just dabbling in it but have your bulk in stocks and funds then I would say

STOP dabbling and use that knowledge to find good stock opportunities.

Like Cotton, which seems to be appreciating -

Consider the Uber Cotton company - Boswell -

a very thinly traded stock that was the inspiration for the Chinatown movie and agreat book
