Saturday Savers Club Progress week 19 - bought more XV

12 months ago (Edited)

Its week 19 (13/05/23) of my savings focus for 2023 with the Saturday Savers Club which I think is a great Hive community initiative run by @shanibeer writing as @sally-saver on the @eddie-earner account.

My main focus this year is HP, and methods that contribute to that.

Weekly Commentary

My weekly gain was +35 HP which is well below my 12 week moving average 51 HP, so not too great this week, and especially if I want to beat @tengolotodo.leo to the 5k HP mark !
My HP total is 4642. I need a further 5358 HP to hit my 10K target, which at 33 weeks to go requires 161 HP per week (gone up another 3 per week !). Tougher and tougher, but I've yet to divert any gains from HIVE:HBD trading, which I will begin to do later in the year,
I added another 32 HP to my delegation to @eds-vote to help with my annual EDS target, I'll be dropping quite a lot more in there by the end of May. The EDS drips from this, although small at the moment, are making a difference to my weekly EDS gains, which is great,
My Hivestats weekly author reward was +115 HP which is excellent for me these days - very happy with that,
My Hivestats weekly curation reward was +2.24 HP, which is lower than it should have been, so I'll need to remember to keep curation activity up,
I had a better than average weekly increase for author rewards, EDS, and SPI - which is good,
In terms of annual targets, I'm currently on track to hit my ARCHON, SPI and DHEDGE targets. I will hit my new annual target for HP delegation to @eds-vote (one way or another), and I'm then hoping that that delegation then helps me hit my EDS target - we'll see !,
I also bought more XV this week, to take my total to 100 before the end of the sale. I experimented with sweating my various assets like gaming income, and layer 2 passive income, selling what I could, etc, to help me get to the 100 mark, and I was happy with how that worked out. It was nice to find out that it worked in the way I hoped it would. So I will continue building my layer 2 passive income, and gaming income, as a side priority so that I can do the same again if needed in the future,
HBD:HIVE trading - I was lucky to have 15 trades/flips go through this week considering how the price fell. It went lower than I expected and I was not well prepared for that, so there is a lesson learned there, although I still made gains on all trades ! Next week will be tougher as I've not got many trade pots in the current price range, so we'll see how things pan out.

Plan for the coming week

To continue to make sure I post daily to ensure daily HBD and HIVE author rewards,
To be active in HIVE Blog curation to help with HIVE curation rewards,
To continue to increase undelegated HIVE in order to improve HIVE curation rewards,
HBD:HIVE Trading - this continues to be a large focus area for me. I'll continue to use all HBD post payouts for trading while I'm building up my liquid trading fund,
To keep taking regular profits (weekly and monthly) from some other token income streams to fund investment in other opportunities. For the coming month or so, I will be keeping that as swap.hive as I want to buy a few more leader NFTs for the game Realm on Wax,
To continue to produce articles for the @SPinvest account, which provides SPI in return,
This weeks 33% HP delegation of HIVE I've powered up (12 HP) is going to @eds-vote. Its my new delegation target, so it gets my full focus !,
To keep building up my layer-2 token passive income stream via staking and delegating,
To keep building my gaming income streams particularly on Rising Star and Realm.
And making sure I use the #archon tag in posts as that generates archon payouts which helps towards that annual target.

In summary, I was glad to be able to buy more XV and hit the 100 mark before the sale ended. My HP growth and HIVE:HBD trading income were both low this week. You get weeks like this, however, it was still all growth - so absolutely no complaints !!!!

And as a reminder:

Its LPUD on monday (15th) - I've got my LEO ready and waiting to be staked,
