The Week #246
by James- π¬π§ The week in the UK, as always, was over before I knew it. I'm glad to be home and with the fam, but London is growing on me. Maybe it's as I'm always quite central and it's possible to walk to work? Maybe it's all the Brommies around town makes me a bit jealous?
I could see the cold/wet get annoying, but also I reckon one adapts by buying appropriate clothing? I'm looking forward to going back again sometime, maybe this summer? - π In 2016, wanting to be a part of the change I wanted to see in the world, I bought one share of TSLA. I would have bought more, but it was all I could afford. When I buy single stocks, I treat it as betting and if I sell it for anything over what I paid, it's a win. I got lucky on this one.Β
Through the years, I hadn't really considered selling my stock as they were still making good on their end of the electrification of cars and the grid. Sometimes I'd get annoyed, like when I found out that hyperloop existed solely to kill interest in public transit in favor of cars, but as a whole the good outweighed the bad. I could rationalize that away though, at least the end game was fewer fossil fuel cars on the road.
The past few months I started to question if that was still the case. Rather than feeling like I was voting in favor of the change I wanted to see, I found myself feeling embarrassed and a bit of shame. Even if I didn't mention it to anyone, I knew.
All of this to say, I sold it all. I considered keeping just 1 share, so that I was in the same position as when I started, but ultimately, buying it was purely emotional and selling was as well. Sure, I may lose out on some long term gains, but this stock was never about pure profit for me. Maybe at some point in the future I'll be able to buy a share again.

The Week #245
by James- π¬π§ I flew to the UK for work. I'll be here through the week. This is my 4th trip to this side of the globe in the past few years and it was the first time that Leo got upset when I left. Last time he moaned a bit and was fine, but this time he actually cried (π). Maybe next time the timing will be such that I can bring the family along and we can stay a bit longer or just come for a visit generally....
The weather this time around, or at least the first 2 days, were absolutely fantastic. 18 degrees with blue skies.View from the hotel - π Running around Hyde Park is my new favorite tradition. Land in the UK and go for a run early the next morning. It's such a large and beautiful park, it never gets old. When I'm back in Japan these parks are what I miss the most.
- π₯ There's this stereotype that British food isn't great (I'm looking at you, beans on toast), but I'm not convinced. I had my first Sundays roast and it was fantastic. The chicken, the gravy, the Yorkshire pudding, the roasted potatoes. Sooo good. I need to introduce a semi-regular Sundays roast into my life.
