My thoughts exactly… some consider barbecuing only a summer thing. That’s a pretty sheltered way to live if you ask me lol.
Thanks!! It was so sweet to hear.. I was on the back deck so likely missed them knocking on my front door.
Dinner tonight: Steak & Brie
Barbecuing this time of year may be cold but I just heard the cutest thing. There’s a big group of kids going door to door singing Christmas carols. My first time ever witnessing this in person. Can I stay in this Hallmark movie a little longer?! 🥰🎶
& this is the exact reason why it’s so tough for me to make the call. 🫣
Yes please!! This sounds like a great idea!
I’m adding more sats to their wallets… one day they will surely appreciate it! ☺️
What’s stopping me from having a self directed account and making my own trades is the simple fact that I don’t have a firm grasp on the stock market and the thought of managing it on my own worries me to no end. I’ve heard horror stories and also heard that most treat this as a full time job selling and buying up all hours of the night. I’m not cut out for that personally and know my limitations.
Buying at an ATH is risky for sure but holding bonds could be seen as riskier?
Nice to hear that you have had a positive experience. I’ve tried well over a year bringing up ETF’s, Bitcoin and now microstrategy and he doesn’t know about any of it. He mentioned hearing about the ETF a couple weeks ago from another advisor. I asked if he could put me in contact with that advisor for us to talk more in depth about a topic that my current advisor knows nothing about unfortunately and he’s only in his 30’s.
What do your advisors have to say about Bitcoin in your portfolio?
GOODBYE BONDS!!
Long story here but I would really appreciate feedback and confidence.
Before being introduced to Bitcoin, I only held a “diversified” portfolio including both stocks and bonds. 🫣
Today I finally made the call to my financial “advisor” to flip my bonds into MSTR. I’ve tried in the past to have this conversation but am steered away from doing anything different than what they have been taught to follow. As a woman, it’s really difficult to stand firm to make these bold choices.
I’ve been trying to get him to learn about bitcoin and ETF’s. He wouldn’t have anything to do with it. He told me he doesn’t have knowledge on this and can’t speak on it. At the end of the day it’s my “money” and I need to do what’s best for me even if that isn’t the norm.
I wanted to do this in the summer when MSTR was around $100 USD and now it’s over $400 USD. I have lost out on huge gains which would have been really substantial. I sort of feel like I might have missed the boat on this one and regret not doing this sooner. It’s hard to make these big power play moves alone.
I stood my ground today. When discussing microstrategy, my financial advisor didn’t have a clue what it is! 🤯 He asked me if I knew the code and I recited quickly yes.. MSTR. He looked it up and said okay yes this is available to buy. I encouraged him to research it and said he would be pleasantly surprised to see how it has performed.
I have set things in motion. He is to get back to me quickly as I told him time is of the essence and I don’t want to miss out on more gains.
He of course tried telling me that bonds aren’t going to cause me grief and that it will still help me achieve my long term goals. He talked about the percentage I’ve earned and I said that doesn’t compare anywhere close to where I would be had I bought MSTR sooner. He believes the bonds have performed well but “well” according to who?!
Honestly I wouldn’t say I have a firm understanding on all this but I definitely do not feel secure holding bonds.
I’m actually feeling excited to finally own MSTR. I, of course, have Bitcoin and am never going to stop stacking. The point to all of this is to get rid of those underperforming risky terrible bonds.
What advice and thoughts do you have on bonds or Canadian bonds and microstrategy?
#nostr #MSTR
Love this!! Thanks for sharing!! I’m going to try this!
ohh I see and your weather right now is ❄️🌨️ if I remember 😔 so outside walks are not the business 😕
Yes slippery hills surround me. I’d welcome a walk/hike in the bush but I don’t feel safe doing that alone.
I used to enjoy cardio but walking on a treadmill is not my idea of a fun time!
Love this!! This winter I want to try snowboarding for the first time!! This makes me want to make this happen sooner!
