My investment choices and journey from stocks and mutual funds to mining crypto currency.

Oh! It’s a button

I’ve been emailing support and generally complaining elsewhere for a couple of weeks about TradeUp.

I got my free share notifications, but nothing had been credited to my account. The complaints stemmed from not getting any responses from their support team.

Anyways, I was checking out the app and my phone slipped out of my hand, and as I fumbled with it, I ended up pressing what I thought was just a picture.

Turns out it was the button to redeem the free stock. I certainly feel silly now that I found this out.

All is well now, I have 3 shares of NIO and 1 share of Ford.

Profit

Litecoin recently went up in value, so I decided to liquidate a third of what I was holding. I got about 1200 dollars from the sale. I was happy to see it go up, but I think I make more profit buying and selling penny stocks. Pot companies are really popular these days, and I have made some great money on Aurora, Chronos, and Shineco.

Aurora, especially, is fun. The other day it opened at like $9.02 and fell to $8.66. I bought around a hundred shares, and I was able to sell them for $9.20 each yesterday. I wish I had gone harder on that one, but I am still happy with a 54-cent per share turnaround.
