November
💭 My Thoughts 💭
Bond extermination month. This is month I decided to sell out of bonds entirely. They are just not where my money should be right now. Maybe in the future I will add them back but I just don't think it's a good idea to stay invested in these things at the moment. The interest rate is too low and these bonds are honestly not returning much at all. AT&T (T) came extremely close to geting a new high score this month but unfortunately comes up short by 2 cents. It was sort of a slow month for the portfolio. Looks like everyone is closing down this month ahead of Thanksgiving which is probably a good idea. Vaccines are finally a thing now but aren't yet publicly available. This is honestly really good news to hear what with it being almost the end of the year. Happy Thanksgiving and stay safe everyone!
