Aloha Investors!
I hope everyone had a wonderful couple of weeks! I know the market has been really good for tech stocks. There were a few good things that happened over the past 2 weeks. On June 10th Nvidia did their 10-1 stock split that increased my shares to ten. Also on June 10th Apple announced the following which pushed Apple to break the 200 mark:
VisionOS 2 upgrades
iOS messaging upgrade
Airpod gestures
WatchOS fitness granularity
iPadOS math upgrade
MacOS Sequoia upgrade
Apple Intelligence: AI
I am looking forward to seeing what Apple and Nvidia have in store for the ending of the year. I am hoping the new iPhone has some amazing upgrades for Apple Intelligence, Siri, and Augmented Reality. This will push all the old iPhone users to buy the new iPhones that have new technology. If you did not have a chance to start purchasing Nvidia shares, now is the time to get it before it breaks the 200 mark like Apple. My current goals have changed to add Nvidia as another priority while the stock is still under 200. I will be putting more into my Individual Stock account when I have extra cash on the side. In fact, I added $1,000 on June 7th to buy more shares of either Apple or Nvidia. I ended up purchasing the following on June 10th:

Individual Stock Account
Starting buying power: $1,014.73
Buying power remaining: $11.80
Nvidia (NVDA) – Purchased 8 shares
Price per share – $121.285 = $970.28
Advance Micro Device (AMD) – Sold 1 share
Price per share – $160.685 = $160.69
Apple (APPL) – Purchased 1 share

This paycheck I added $200 more to my Individual Stock account so that I could purchase 2 shares of Apple and Nvidia. I want to finish my Apple goal since I am so close and I want to get more shares of Nvidia before it gets higher.
I hope this blog helps other investors or people that are hesitant to start investing. I started investing with only $100 in my stock account. I saw the potential in investing and I continued to invest and increase my monthly contribution. The only thing that I regret is not starting earlier in my life when I was in high school. The stocks back then were so cheap compared to the market today, but there is still money to be made in the stock market. It is never too late to start investing!
