Week ending 7-3

Didn't travel anywhere this week, but I did take a break from trading and just hung out with the kids. Even after just 4 days away I'm already feeling freshed and looking forward to the second half of the year. I don't expect much to change trading condition wise until after summer, but maybe earnings will provide some nice opportunities. For the rest of July at least I'm going to approach trading on a day-by-day basis. If there's some decent setups then I'll hang around. If not then I'll go play or, most likely, pack some boxes to help get ready for our move at the end of the month.

I'm not sure what life will be like after the move with respect to trading time. I'm really looking forward to my new opportunity though. I can't say enough about living below your means, saving money and investing it wisely. If not for those things I wouldn't be able to take a stab at this opportunity. Basically I'm going into an established 40 year old business run by my father-in-law and hoping to grow it to the next level. While there's some financial security with this move the challenge is really what I'm after. I see a ton of money to be made capitalizing on what he's achieved over 4 decades.

At this point I do intend, with everyone's blessing I might add, to continue trading.

In some respect this month will end a chapter for this blog. When I first started in Mar I was without any job. As of August I will have income though at first it will be considerably less than I'm used to making. But, between my trading and other investments, I have managed to stay even financially so far after paying all living expenses. Our expenses will fall quite a bit after the move and we'll have income coming in so I hope to start growing my assets again in the very near future. I'm really looking forward to that!

This week is just the flucuation of a couple small swing trades I have open. No daytrades for the week.
