I guess I needed some kind of distraction from the “dip” in the stock market this past week, but I’ve been, um, 1-click applying as I scroll through my email. It’s too easy! And harmless. I mean out of all the jobs I applied for in the last six months of 2021, 22 actual cover-letter-writing,Continue reading “I am a 1-Click Apply Addict”

Intuition v Whims
In light of me losing 20% of my cash investment in stocks as a newbie investor, I’d like to mention that there is a difference between intuition and whim. Intuition told me to not put my money in hippie-planet-love stuff like Oatly and Allbirds. Whim told me to be cool and buy stock in aContinue reading “Intuition v Whims”
New Year, New Strategy for this Newbie Investor
It’s official: this newbie investor is an MBA candidate, enrolled in classes, and I have no idea when I’m graduating! Really. I don’t know.

This newbie investor also needs to increase personal income, so more investing, and other life renewing activities, can happen! INTERVIEWS. Last week I had two in-personContinue reading “My Stocks are Dipping Just Like My Job Search”
IPO? FOMO? YOLO?
Well, well, well…this crash-course to investing self-edification journey keeps throwing new things at me. Last week, I received a super interesting notification from Robinhood about an upcoming IPO. In case you don’t think that’s interesting, let me remind you that this blog is by a newbie investor for others like me. I know what anContinue reading “IPO? FOMO? YOLO?”
The “Short” of It
Sitting Tight; isn’t that what Newbie investors are encouraged to do? Admittedly, I barely know the basics beyond that advice, but I am slowly piecing it together. I’ve been DIY-crash-coursing on investing and crypto. Read some opinions on whether gold or crypto are better…BORING. Who knows? It’s a gamble. When I say I am piecingContinue reading “The “Short” of It”
