๐Ÿ’ญ My Thoughts ๐Ÿ’ญ

I don't know whether to feel bad or good for Gamestop Corporation - Class A (GME). It's as if it was caught in a war between investors and the big players. Some people really made good momey, though others weren't so furtunate. Inspite of all that, I'm glad I stood aside of all that madness. I still have my dividends coming in and my portfolio keeps appreciating in value. I'm in no hurry to reach financial indepence as I actually enjoy working. Much like November 2020, AT&T (T) again comes up short in trying to reach a new high score. Looks like Store Capital Corp (STOR) is pulling ahead in their battle. They're 3 to 2 favoring Store Capital Corp (STOR). Rumor has it that a big bubble is about to pop and that there's going to be a big market sell off... My standing on that is simple: I'll keep investing. I'm in this for the long haul. A few bumps on the road isn't going to stop me from reaching my destination. COVID-19 is mutating... Yes, because we definitely needed that. Thanks COVID. The UK variant is said to be much more contagious but in all honesty, I don't think that will matter much. Vaccines are becoming more widely available and the more people get vaccinated, the less we really have to worry about. I wish it were that easy though. Some say that this virus is here to stay... permanently. Either way, it's not going to stop me from investing my money and achieving my goal of reaching financial indepence. Hope everyone had a nice Valentines!
