May 2026 Investment Returns (Sneak Peak)
May trading is officially over and I was eager to create some dashboards on my returns but AI is acting finicky and I need to sit down and plan out what exactly I am interested in reviewing. For now my main priority is income generation from my investment portfolio because that’s one of the things…

Hiding Out in Gold
The apps I use to find great options trades is having a harder and harder time of finding something to invest in so I made the decision to hide out in gold. It’s just one small position because I’m already invested in silver, and gold miners with hedged collar strategies. I bought 100 shares of…
