Hey there. So, I have a day job that is boring in relation to this, but I am also a blogger and podcaster and a big consumer of creative (mostly writing and music) blogs and newsletters. And I recently got really into investing money into stocks.
I have not noticed many (if any) blogs or newsletters that would fall under the description of a fun, indie, creative, or artistic place, that talk about stock investing. So, I have decided to start my own.
In my head, this will be like an indie zine or bi-weekly paper. Like if a hardcore band started worrying about investing in the stock market and wanted a place to hang while it was figuring that out? Yeah, that is kinda the vibe I am pushing for here.
The Investing Part
I am newish to this stock market and investing thing, even though I shouldn’t be – new to paying attention to it, I should say. I am learning more each day, but, so you know, the keyword is learning.
What I want, someday, is to not have a day job.
To not have to show up to work at someone else’s place, every damn morning. To not have a boss. To retire from all that crap. To live life how I want to.
Yes, I guess we all want that. But that takes money.
I heard a thing the other day that this New York Stock Exchange place as some money. Or it, like, points you to things that might generate money (or freaking lose money).
That is where Buy When Red comes into play.
At the moment, I keep it simple with my investing. I buy (if I have the extra cash) when something is in the red (low) and don’t sell until it’s in the green. That is basecamp for me and we’ll see how far I can go.
I know stocks and a zine don’t really go together but that’s why I kinda like it. It all sounds kinda weird. The two worlds don’t really bond.
But I hope you join me in this bonding experiment and find some joy and entertainment from this blog.
Thanks for being here.
