With bitcoin testing a floor resistance at the $82K level, I figured I'd dive into the various preferred stocks that public investors like you and me can invest in. I ran a bunch of AI queries using this prompt: 

Explain all the strategy (ticker MSTR) public securities available for public investors to trade. Such as $STRK, $STRF, $STRD, $STRC, and $STRE and also $STRC. Explain what they are, how they are different from each other, how does the investment make money, and are the risks, etc. Think through the lens as a potential buyer of these securities and determine what you would need to know to make an informed buying decision.

Starting today (July 17, 2025), this blog will refocus on writing about personal finance and stocking picks that I find interesting.

Today's stock is Alphabet (Google). I opened a new relatively large position of about 550 shares at an average price of $182 / share.

I'll write an in-depth article soon on why I like Alphabet, but as Soros used to say "Invest first, investigate later". 

I'm going to take a break and think of a better / new way to share my performance. 

For the first time in it's decade plus history, bitcoin surpassed $100,000 this year. Amazing!

Heads up that starting in 2025, I'm going to change this blog a bit. I want to write posts that has more substance rather than just posting my positions. Stay tuned.
