Aloha Investors!
I hope everyone is enjoying life! Do not let trivial things ruin your day.
I really cannot believe that the Dow hit a record high of 40,000 for the first time. I look forward to seeing the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 grow and set new highs. I am excited to see what Apple has in store at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference on June 10 through 14. We just got a taste of what Apple will announce with the new iPad Pro. I do believe they will have interesting products which will include new AI features that will change how we use the internet and search engines. Google has already announced Project Astra which uses AI. If you have not seen the video about Project Astra, then I suggest you take a look at what the future has in store for us. Apple might be nearing a deal with ChatGPT maker OpenAI which will allow Apple to use the AI technology on the iPhone. We will just have to wait and see at the developer’s conference in June.

This paycheck I was able to use the remaining amount from my last paycheck to purchase three shares of Apple. This brings me forty-two shares short of my goal for Apple. I do want to complete this before the end of this year, so that I can move on to my other goals. I will be depositing any extra money I have to buy more shares. I was not able to buy any VOO shares this paycheck because I came up a little bit short of the purchase price of ~$486.74. I will purchase one share on my next paycheck on 5/31. My Traditional IRA I received $42.75 in Apple dividends. Unfortunately, this was not enough to buy any shares of Apple. I will eventually apply for DRIP, so that my dividends get reinvested in Apple automatically.
Keep up the excellent work and stick to your investment goals!
