These Shoes are made for War

and just about everything else + VIDEO you must view

There is nothing like a good pair of shoes, let alone at an affordable price.

These pairs of shoes are part of the uniform for fighting this war in Iran.

I don’t know about you, but I used to only buy Florsheims until my friends in college, who had a lot more success with girls than I did, told me I may need to update my shoe collection, but maybe it’s just to have a look.

And shoes and how you walk with them does tell you a bit about the man.

When working in the scrap yard, I wore black leather shoes, not always $200 but expensive yet affordable, and I still remember the time these Europeans came by to see how we handled their refuse.

My feet got into the dirt and mud, while they preferred to stand afar, not too close, so their feet wouldn't be sullied.

I mean, we weren’t in Manhattan but a small town in Ohio.

So it goes. And kind of shows you the general mentality of European nations (but there are few that don’t mind → read below to learn more)

Great article from WSJ if you have time to read

Otherwise, the stock is Weyco and pays 3.5% dividend.

The ultimate boring company that may get a bid.

On Saturday night I could not sleep thinking about things and what calmed me down was a 3 am walk listening to John Konrad, who all of you should follow on X, talk about the history of the great shippers who became among the wealthies and powerful in the past 100 years and you probably are not aware of.

It so powerful and the key takeaways though I do not do it justice

*Bet on America

*Be passionate about essential services and bet big when there is no other option

When you do, not only will you become wealthy but also bag the princess like Onassis being able to marry the wife of JFK Jr

and that is motivation.

While there is a war and nothing is foretold, the same goes with investing and life, you must bet on what is light, shiny, and noble over what glorifies death, destruction and genocide.

And as John Konrad is passitionate about you don’t hem and haw on the big topics

nor should you.

Our investments and success will reflect this principle.

Make it a powerful Monday

PS. There are many opportunities when people are nervous and make irrational decisions.
