No, no, your eyes are not deceiving you, that is a strawberry as big as my hand. Pretty crazy right? My wife and I had our groceries delivered the other day and this is what came in the package. We had a quick discussion about whether or not the person doing the shopping picked this package on purpose because of the big strawberry or if it was just chance.
With the current bull market taking place right this strawberry got me thinking about abundance and how many of us might be on the cusp of it right now. Will it be something we choose or will it be pure chance that we happen upon it.
I've actually been trying not to pay as much attention to the markets as I had been in the past. This kind of lull that we are in has been a bit of a downer and I am trying not to let it impact me too much. It's hard though because as I said before, it feels like we are close to something. So close that we can almost taste it, but still just a bit out of reach.
It is time again for another Finance Friday/Friday Finance. This is a series I started where I talk about random bits of financial stuff that I have seen, gathered, or experienced during the week. I hope as a reader you find it informational, entertaining, or both. I also hope it can generate some good discussion and edify the community.
BRO
This past week after the excitement had kind of died down from everything that was going on with Hive-Engine, I finally took advantage of the low prices of the BRO token and got myself to the title of Dragon with that group. It's something I have been eyeing for a while now, but with the price of BRO sitting somewhere in the range of 9 HIVE I wasn't willing to trade my tokens.
Lately, the price has been closer to 5 HIVE and that's why I decided to make some moves. I picked up most of my BRO in the 4.5 HIVE range. In addition to that, I also pulled back half of my delegation to the @brofi account as that is how I had been earning my BRO before then. That means my HP has grown and as such my vote will be worth a little more now.
Kinross Gold
Kinross gold is a stock I bought on Robinhood a while ago at the recommendation of someone from the #silvergoldstackers group. Though I don't own a ton of it, I still like to keep an eye on it. They just had their shareholder meeting this past week and they announced a quarterly dividend of $.03 per share.
Again, it's not a ton, but anything in the positive is a good thing these days. I'm pretty happy either way. I appreciate the advice I was given by a group that has such a wealth of knowledge.
CIV VII
I know this isn't really finance related, but I've been seeing ads for the past couple of months that Sid Meier's Civilization VI was releasing sometime in the middle of February. I'm a huge fan of the CIV games ever since the first one and I have been playing IV quite a bit more lately. I still feel that CIV III is the best of the series. It was before the made things really complicated. There was an elegant simplicity to it and the graphics were a fair bit better than the first two.
I used to have a cracked version of the game that I would keep on a thumb drive so I could play it anywhere I went. I'm definitely intrigued by CIV VII, but at $70 for the standard version, I probably won't be buying it right away. I will likely wait for Steam to have one of their sales and then I will go ahead and pick it up.
V Day
Finally, in case you hadn't noticed, it's the 14th of February today. I don't know if Valentines day is a worldwide thing or just a US thing, but here we are celebrating the commercialization of love. If that doesn't belong in a Friday Finance post, I don't know what does. My wife and I don't typically do anything special on days like this, but this morning she gave me a handmade card that was quite unexpected and very sweet.
If you do celebrate, I wish you the best day with your significant other. If you don't celebrate or you don't have a significant other, I still hope you have an awesome day.
As I said before, the markets kind of feel like they want to do something soon. Perhaps it won't happen until the 22nd as @edicted has mentioned, but who really knows.
