I thought I was just being featured on the online Wall Street Journal, but the article also made it into their physical newspaper on Friday.
Feeling very grateful and blessed to be able to support @Strategy with a positive view on their common and preferred stocks, of which I hold around $100,000.

Saying there’s no reason to buy Bitcoin because anyone can create a cryptocurrency is like saying there’s no reason to learn English because anyone can invent a language.
On June 25 I said $STRC at $82 was a 14% yield with a gain on top once it got back to par.
Monday's close: $99.17
That's +21% on price and about 26% including dividends in four months. The dividend rate went up too.
Fear priced it as broken. It was on sale.
And it’s still a great buy at ~$99.50.
Thank you to all the ignorant lettuce hands and over-leveraged traders. Your sacrifice will be remembered 🙌🏼
Stretch your yield to 14% with $82 $STRC and pocket an 18% capital gain on top when it inevitably returns to par.
Curious where everyone's at. Would you still add $STRC near $99 with the 12% rate, or wait for another fear dip?
“Build wealth” is a wish.
“Invest this much each month toward this life by this date” is a plan.
A useful investing goal has:
- A purpose.
- A target.
- A timeline.
- A contribution rate.
Once the destination is clear, daily market noise becomes far less important.
Big week ahead.
Fed decision on Wednesday. $MSFT and $GOOGL report that same evening, then $AMZN on Thursday.
Bitcoin is sitting around $80k and the timeline is already nervous.
I don't need to predict any of it. My plan was built for weeks like this: income keeps coming in, growth keeps compounding, and I keep adding.
Volatility is just the price we pay for the outsized returns.
Good morning!
Loving the view from the balcony today 😁🌴
Now if only our portfolio’s could have this much green next week… 🟢
Good morning!
Breakfast in bed and a beautiful rice field view.
Lots of green today 🌱🥑 to counteract yesterday’s tech sell-off 🔴
How do you think today will be? 🟢/🔴
It’s awesome that Robinhood listed $SATS, but it looks like they got it confused with a Japanese venture capital company also called Strive 😅
I bought some today anyways 😏

You don’t need to solve your entire financial life today.
Build the next rung.
Create the emergency fund.
Invest the first $10,000.
Reach the first $100,000.
Grow the first $1,000 of annual portfolio income.
Big goals become manageable when the next milestone is clear.
I want to enjoy the products shaping the future.
But I also want to own the businesses and assets creating them.
Consumption gives me something today. Ownership gives me a claim on tomorrow.
We don’t need to stop consuming. We just gradually become more owner than customer.
When your portfolio is small, your savings rate matters more than squeezing out another 1% of performance.
The best investment strategy cannot compound money that never enters the account.
Returns become more powerful as the capital base grows, but saving builds the base.
Good morning and happy weekend!
I often like starting the day off with a fruit smoothie bowl.
Sweet, cleansing, and delicious.
What’s your go-to breakfast?
Lifestyle inflation compounds too.
Every recurring upgrade doesn’t only cost money today. It also increases the amount of wealth required to fund your freedom forever.
I’m not against living well.
I simply want every long-term addition to my lifestyle to earn its place.
Some people would rather go to
PRISON in order to save money for retirement…
rather than simply learning about the $BLOX income ETF.
Thank you to the legend @Retiredat40HQ for finding this hilarious Reddit FIRE post.
Celebrate the milestones.
Not because your journey is finished, but because progress deserves it.
If every achievement becomes a new expectation, wealth can grow while satisfaction stays flat.
Gratitude and ambition aren’t opposites.
I want enough of both to enjoy the climb.
Most wealth is built through an unremarkable sequence:
Earn. Save. Invest. Repeat.
Each contribution adds another piece to the bridge between the life you have and the freedom you’re building.
Consistency makes ordinary actions extraordinary.
Every dollar has a destination.
Some should create joy today.
Some should buy freedom tomorrow.
The goal isn’t to eliminate spending. It’s to make sure your money reflects what you genuinely value, not whatever happens to compete hardest for your attention.
