It seems like it has been forever, but just four or so days ago I opened up my posts for this week talking about how I had a lot on my mind. I'd like to say that things have sorted themselves out, but heading into a new weekend, I feel like I have even more on my mind than I did on Monday.
The good news is, I am going camping this weekend, so that should offer a nice break from all of the stress that life has to offer. I just have to get through the gauntlet of today to get there.
I had an old colleague come visit me at work the other day and we got talking about how close I am to retiring. He recently hung up his hat as well, but he plans on doing something else to keep himself active. He had some good advice for me about my options when I am able to retire in another year.
If anything, it gave me a lot more to think about than I already had!
The good thing is, I don't have to leave once I hit that magical 30 year mark. As long as they aren't shoving me out the door I can take my time to find something else that I think will be a good fit for me.
Meanwhile, the crypto markets seem to be doing pretty much what everyone expected they would do. At least halfway through September and we haven't see a ton of movement. It's just been more of a sideways blah. I was hoping maybe this year would buck the trend of September being less than stellar and we might get a big altcoin pump.
I'm starting to lose hope for that now.
The good news is, October is right around the corner, and while September hasn't been that exciting, hopefully the season of Halloween will bring us some exceptional thrills! Either way, I think this coming year is a going to a time of great reflection and some major decisions for me. @mrsbozz of course too as we are a team in all of this. I want to be sure she is on board with whatever decision I make and fully supportive of me.
I apologize, I keep jumping back and forth between topics, but like I said, I have a lot on my mind right now. I'm barreling towards two of the watershed moments in adult life and I'm honestly in a bit of a daze about how we got here so quickly. While many would think retiring at 50 is something to be celebrated, I feel a lot of trepidation and uncertainty with all of this.
SMR
On the good side of things, I saw an article by "The Motley Fool" the other day saying that the new interest rate cut could be a huge boon for the nuclear power sector. They specifically named my favorite small modular nuclear reactor stock NuScale. I think the source in this case gets a lot of mixed reviews from a lot of people. At least it isn't that Cramer guy saying it right?
The price of NuScale right now is still bouncing near that $40 mark which is down a bit from the all time high of near $50, but the fact that we are still holding strong above $30 is encouraging to me. I didn't go about it purposely, but I think a few of the people who heard me talking about this stock and bought some themselves are still pretty happy right now.
Silver
You might recognize this as it has been shared one other place that I know of. I got home from work the other day to find a nice surprise in my mailbox. I had admired this nice piece of silver commemorating the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's ride and I had commented on how cool I thought it was.
The original poster took notice and generously sent me one of the 1 oz rounds. How cool is that! I'm really glad I stumbled upon the #silvergoldstackers community all that time ago and that they graciously welcomed me into their fold. I might not have the bags that others do in the group, but I am slowly growing my stack. Given the price of silver now, I have already seen a decent increase in my investment from the sub $30 prices per ounce I was paying before.
Alt Coins
Again, not much to talk about here. I've still got a handful of tokens that I am hoping at least one of them breaks out this cycle and does something amazing. I've all but given up on some of the other tokens I was praying for a miracle on.
Looking back at my soft targets that I edited back just about a year ago, it's safe to say that TLM, WAX, WNCG, SPS, SDM and POL are likely never going to moon the way I had hoped. Hive is still plugging along and while I don't see it dying, I think it is going to take a lot for it to do anything significant.
Hype for Splinterlands seems to be fading, and the Koreans seem to have found other tokens that they would rather focus on (manipulate). I still plan on posting and building my stake here. I also plan on growing my @bozz.sports account as well. I've gotten some more interaction over there lately which is nice, but it still isn't picking up momentum the way I had hoped.
