It was a slow day in the market today. Nothing much exciting happened. My overall portfolio went down by about 4 dollars. So, it wasn’t a crazy day. I went to band practice through the middle day so I might have missed some excitement but in the end, it was pretty dull.
I had trouble getting to my account in one of the brokers yesterday, so I missed some information, but I was able to get some general information. It was pretty much a losing day then too. Things have been going down.
I heard that Nvidia was going to be able to sell to China and it was announced yesterday. I guess they paid the president a bunch of money to put into his dumb ballroom. So, he said they could sell to China. I guess that’s the secret with this president. Pay him and you get what you want.
I think a lot of people may be waiting to see what the Fed is going to say tomorrow about the interest level. They think it’s going to be another 25-basis point drop. So maybe that’s why it was kind of slow.
People are still talking about bitcoin and the way it has dropped. It seems to have a bunch of people worried. I hate to tell them but I just had my financial advisor increase my bitcoin exposure, so of course it went down, Next time, they will pay me not to do that!
Anyway, I did get an ETF added. It’s iShares High Dividend ETF. It has gone down too! See I told you!
I’m going to quit buying for a while. At least till after the new year. I don’t want to get caught up in the Santa Claus Rally like I did at the beginning of this experiment. So, now I will just be watching and planning for 2026.
