Thanksgiving Investments!

Aloha Investors!

I am very excited that next week is Thanksgiving! All that delicious food to eat!

I am slowly getting used to the Charles Schwab website and how to get information about what I buy and my dividend reinvestments. I just realized that I didn’t max out my Roth IRA and I have to add $450.00 to my account before next year. This week I was able to add $200.00 more to my Roth IRA account, so that is why you will see more for my starting buying power.

If you haven’t started your high yield savings account then I suggest you start something because you can always use the money for trips, emergencies, or something special for yourself. I will be using the money in my Apple savings account for my Japan trip by buying Yen! I’m very excited to be able to see the cherry blossoms when I go next year! Yen is still high, so if you have some extra cash laying around I suggest investing in some Yen.

This week I wasn’t able to buy my normal 2 shares of Apple because Apple decided to go up to about $189 a share, so I bought 1 share of Amazon to use up some of my buying power for my individual stock account. If you ever have doubts about what to buy then I suggest you look into buying VOO which is a very good ETF that diversifies into the S&P 500 and I believe it was a recommendation by the great Warren Buffett!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! Gobble Gobble!
