I’m so sorry – I owe you a Low Buy update for November AND December. I was deep down the rabbit hole of Ph.D./thesis work for the last few weeks and days of 2020, so I didn’t find the time and energy to write a proper blog post. My first draft is now finished (more [...]

Time is flying by – my October Low Buy Update
