Becton, Dickinson and Company (BDX)
"Becton, Dickinson and Company was founded more than 100 years ago in 1897. The company sells medical supplies, devices, laboratory equipment, and diagnostic products globally. It operates through three segments: BD Medical, BD Life Sciences, and BD Interventional." It's a $50B company. It looks to me like the recent selloff is overdone. I picked a few shares and will add when the stock stabilizes.

1% Match to Rollover Your 401K/IRA If You Are Interested (USA)
When we get a new job, we need to decide what to do with our 401K. We have choices: 1) Rollover to the new employer's 401K. 2) Leave it with the prior employer. 3) Open a rollover IRA and move it there. I have always chosen to rollover to an IRA because it will open up a lot more investment choices. However, there are a few diligent things one should consider, don’t just rollover to any institutions. Here are my personal requirements: 1) Reputation of the institution (Ethical and trustworthy) 2) How good is the brokerage firm you are considering in the following areas: Ease of use, powerful tools, customer service, and resources? 4) What is the fee structure? 3) Any bonus offers for moving money to their brokerage firm. I found the link below and would like to share it in case you can use it. 1% match from SOFI is pretty good. Disclaimer: I personally do not have an account with SOFI (because I already have an established brokerage firm I like and work with), so you need to do your own diligence & make sure SOFI meets your qualifications. REMEMBER EVERY MOVE COUNTS IN YOUR LONG-TERM INVESTING JOURNEY. https://www.sofi.com/invest/retirement-accounts/

Healthcare insurance stocks on sale - UNH, ELV, CNC, CI, CVS
During the last couple weeks the Healthcare insurance companies are down and many of them are in a buying zone. Even if the trend might continue, I start accumulating for long term positions in ELV, UNH and CNC. For those who are more toward ETFs, IHF or XLV (entire healthcare sector) are the options as both of them beat the SPY in the last 15 years. Does anybody else looking into this sector?

Day in a life of an "investor"
Here's what I do on a day to day basis to get the best performance possible for myself as an investor 1. I have mechanical rules on investing (which basically automates 90% of the work) 2. I reduce my screentime for the market to ​Monday (5 minutes), Thursday (5 minutes), Friday (1 hour). This allows me to step away from the chart and focus on other 3. I go for walks 4. I pick a nice place for lunch 5. I keep myself healthy and my ​​​​​​​​​mind sharp to make the best decision each week 6. I pick up kids from school and play with them You might notice - I actually don't trade that often. I only make decisions at the end of the week. Since then, my profitability skyrocketed. Here's why: 1. I stopped myself from overtrading. Sometimes my prediction on the market is right but if I overtrade - I lose money 2. I stopped myself from overthinking. Once the rules are laid out, it is just a matter of following it and not doubting it. The clarity stops me from losing money 3. I stopped myself from not following the system. The key to executing the trades correctly is not about motivation or discipline. Those things failed me. ​It is about having proper controls in place to stop me from making a mistake. I placed checks and balances each step such that I am following my system to the T. As a result, I made +19% in the last 6 weeks following my system, and my system said I should make +19% as well. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The difference is 0.004% in variability.

Are we close to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)?
A recent comment from Elon Musk on AI: "I now think @xAI has a chance of reaching AGI with @Grok 5. Never thought that before...." What is AGI? AGI = “general-purpose AI.” It could learn any intellectual task a human can, across subjects from math to cooking to law to trading; and adapt without needing to be retrained for each new thing. AGI would have flexibility and reasoning abilities similar to humans, while today’s AI systems are still very specialized. Fun times ahead!!
