Hi! One day we’ll have a bot for this and we won’t have to rely on me remembering, but until then, enjoy Money Monday Tuesday. Feel free to comment below with anything and everything money related that is better suited to a conversation or a quick question and answer than a full post. Some ideas include:
- Journaling about an ongoing job search
- Asking for ideas about how to manage an emergency fund
- Logging recent stock trades
- Talking about the impact of inflation on your budget
- Your plans for maximizing the rewards on a credit card
Again, those are just suggestions, if there’s really anything you’d like to talk about related to finance in your life, feel free to put it here.
As far as my main finances go, the biggest concern is that my FSA doesn’t seem to like to work with my mail away pharmacy, so every order they request documentation of the health expense. I can get that, but the website for the pharmacy is a real pain in the butt to use, so it’s a whole production. Luckily (or unluckily) my FSA is pretty much empty, so I’ll have to tap the HSA I have from my old employer.
For my hobby investing account, I took my first profit! I sold half of my shares in MHO to recover my initial investment of like $30. I am going to spend some time with a stock screener to find where I want to put that money, and let the other half of the investment run in the hopes that they continue to do well.
For my paper account, I hit my profit target on my strangle trade and closed it. I may try some similar volatility strategies on single stocks rather than SPY, just to see how it is.
