Week 214 (till Apr. 11, 2025)

Review

In week 214 $6.72 entered the account in dividends. As planed I added to MO and IWM. 
I just finished doing my taxes for 2024. The tax prep fee increased by about 50%. One of the reasons were the K1's. Check with your tax prep firm how they account for K1's tax wise. Not only that they are notoriously late for getting the documents, some tax prep companies charge a fee per K1 during tax season.
As I am in the process of re-structuring a lot of things, I leave things as they are right now. Let's see how that turns out.

Market Review

Today the news on the ticker was, that phones, computers and other electronics will be exempt from the tariffs.  With that I do expect tech stocks to gap up on Monday morning and Nasdaq stocks getting a big boost. It is time to add so those positions.

Plans for next 2 weeks

I still own some fractional shares from AB (see my March post.) I am going to re-establish my position and buy my 7 shares on the market for a lower price than I got last week. AB has a K1, unfortunately,  but also has an 9% yield.
For the regular investments, $200 go into CAH and depending what happens on Monday to GOOGL.

Week 212-213 (till Apr. 5, 2025)

Review

In week 212 $42.95 entered the account. In week 213 $156.02 entered. I am coming one more time back to WMT. 
As outlined I did add 200$ each to FEPI and JEPQ in the past 2 weeks.
After the Wednesday tariffs announcement it actually did hold up pretty well compared to the market.

SPY and QQQ they just "jumped out of the window".
The following is interesting. 
2025-04-04-03
IWM and DIA had their highs already in 2024. When something declines 20% or more, that is called an official bear market. With candles like this it will be very taking quite some time to get back to the highs. 
2025-04-04-04
Friday's candle is called a hammer. There were more buyers coming in than sellers, that pushed the price back up again. 

Plans 

$200 will go into IWM. MO will get the other $200.
