Diamond Hands vs. Paper Hands

After having entertained myself watching the fragment of a share of GME go up and down for a week, I was all set to just keep holding. As long as it kept tap dancing around the same general number, I figured all was well.

But today, the numbers turned doubleplus ungood. It dropped all morning. By lunchtime, I had seen enough. I stepped away from my miniscule experiment.

I basically spent about $2.50/day for a week to amuse myself watching the subreddit WallStreetBets and the stock ticker. Pretty cheap entertainment, if you ask me.

I will keep watching that subreddit. Maybe next time, I can get in on the very beginning of their next project and EARN $2.50 a day. 😀

Woot woot for microinvesting apps, though. Experimenting with pin money is harmless enough.

In other news, this was the first day after my second dCOVID shot. I am starting to feel it. Like last time, all the joints that tend to hurt anyway have been griping nonstop. But this time, some general low-grade all-over body aches joined the party. Fortunately, I have enough remedies in my daily medical regimen (prescription and OTC) to dial the volume on the discomfort WAY down. I also feel like I am getting a sore throat and a cough... not sure if that is on the symptoms list, but I kind of think it is.

I will hydrate a lot and go to bed early.

New Administration, New Year

 In the weeks since my previous post, we witnessed an insurrection on live TV, we FINALLY got a new President, and what do you know? My first doctor's appointment, post-Biden's inauguration, has showed improved blood pressure.

Maybe after I have some time for the four years of DJT-induced tension to subside, I can go back on the same level of BP meds I was on while Obama was in office.

Just saying.

In the meantime, I am amusing myself with a micro-investment made via ideas from that paragon of sensibility on Reddit, the subreddit r/wallstreetbets. 😁 And when I say MICRO-investing, I'm not kidding. Now I am watching my tiny fraction of a share go 📈 and 📉. (There go the blood pressure improvements, lol.) But I shall continue to have💎👐 (diamond hands, as opposed to having paper hands) and hang on for a while.

Or maybe I just have a diamond HEAD, lol. But hey... what have I got to lose but the price I'd normally spend on lunch when I'm working onsite? Where can you get this much drama for under $20? 😂😎
