    Here is this months update:

    My takeout from this is that i'm not actually very good at picking stocks ;).

    I am doubtful if the "time in the market" mantra works for stocks, I don't think Time is going to help NIO at this point.

    Why do most of them not have a purchase price?

    The purchase price is for this months purchases, I could put an average purchase price in there instead but didn't bother :).

    RAIZ or RAISE just lifted their fees from $1.25 to $2.50 per month for anything under $10k

    Time in the market works for a cap weighted diversified portfolio....with a basket of moonshots your mileage may vary.

    These things happen, this is why I like this experiment, good set of data with low risk (I lost a whole 20 bucks on Insys ;))

    UEC hammered on friday. After the AFR reported that Trump most likely won't side with the US miners over the Section 232 put before him by two of them.

    It appears Trump has sided with the Utilities on this one?
    But has apparently given another 90 Days for the miners to respond?
    The quicker this 232 is finalized one way or another is better for the entire industry overall.
    None of the Utilities can sign on for long term agreements with a possible impending tariff or must have US production % hanging over their heads.
    Resolution of this will IMO lift the spot price.

    Starting to show a positive return which is nice, we can thank Nvidea for that mostly.

    Hi all, to anyone following this, apologies but I have decided to can this project. It's not exciting me as it used to, it's become more of a chore than anything else.

    Hope you all enjoyed the ride for the last 20 months :).

    My Daughters use RAIZ. They just prepay their $30 and that covers fee for the year. They all have about $5K each in in RAIZ and growing. That is about 0.6% in fees and droping through to .275% when they hit $10K. 3 of the daughters use Stockspot for their main investing (set and forget) and the others use Vanguard retail fund (Australian funds @ .75% Mer)

    Could be mate :). Short term gain on small amounts isn't exciting to me, long term large gain is :).

    I feel Patience has been the biggest asset I have gained in the last 5 years.
