No video for this week as I have a lot going on right now. Its always this way for me and the holidays.
It does however offer a good opportunity to comment on being a trader and investor.
There is a mental shift that will come when we eventually are able to quit our day jobs and go full time managing our own income. While I am not at that point I do spend my day talking and emailing with those that are at that point to get an idea what is in store. We will no longer have to be working 8 hours a day and the time needed to be set aside for supporting ourselves financially drops. Considerably.
Some of that can already be seen with the Model Portfolio. My income stock are working great giving a steady stream of dividends. I do not have to keep a close eye on all of them. The trading account is building up to get ready to take on trades. I have enough in there now to start doing option selling with $22.50 priced stock and WHZ currently and almost enough for TCAP. But there is no rush for every day offers a potential trade. Stress on the word potential. Some of the traders out there like Aileron will take a trade a week or every other week. That doesnt take a whole lot of time during your work week. What else is there to be done? Enjoying life plain and simple. Thats what I am striving for.
