I like sharing what I find because I was very lost and overwhelmed with information when I first started trading. I have learned many painful and costly lessons. I am certain there are others who don't know where to start looking for information, are experiencing overwhelm, are very strapped for time, have not come up with any routines that can help their quality of successful investing, etc. just as I did as I started. I may still have a lot to learn and plenty of room to grow, but I like to share what I HAVE learned and my experience on the ride so far because as others did the same, it helped me figure things out, become less anxious, realize I wasn't an investing idiot but just needed to better my understanding, and also see that I wasn't alone in the feelings I was having nor in the struggles. So for anyone who is annoyed by my regular posts that may be simple for you or beneath your trading abilities, knowledge, and understanding, please don't be. Clearly you don't need anything in them, and that is perfectly fine. Just scroll past them...but if there is even ONE person that will feel better, or learn, or be helped by, or feel less alone by any of my posts, then the time invested in sharing will have been worth it. My morning routine is to check my stocks, look for the top gaining stocks of the day, look into their share price and performance history, look through related news and articles about the top gainers, the companies I am currently investing in, and then search through other companies to see what else I would like to invest in. Throughout my morning, I check on my holdings' performance to see if any of them have hit my decided on exit price point, to keep a watchful eye on my gains and losses, my overall balances, and try to stay focused. As I do this, I take my high schoolers to their Seminary class, eat breakfast, and prep what I will be doing that morning. I get started on the morning's tasks and if there are shares I have that require the hawkish watchful eye, I will do quick check-ins every 15 mins or so. Then, I always stop everything else a little before market close to be prepared for whatever end of the trading day madness may occur so that I may respond quickly enough to unexpected movements. I peek in during the after-hours trading window in case of intense after-hour trading, or if I have a number I am looking for to close a position. I have time committed into my schedule for trading every weekday. That time is when I do my research. #PublicFam #doingwhatican #possibilities #hopeanyofmypostshelp

Treasuries.
U.S. Treasuries (“T-Bill“) investing services on the Public Platform are offered by Jiko Securities, Inc. (“JSI”), a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA & SIPC. See JSI’s FINRA BrokerCheck and Form CRS for further information. When you enable T-Bill investing on the Public platform, you open a separate brokerage account with JSI (the “Treasury Account“).

JSI uses funds from your Treasury Account to purchase T-bills in increments of $100 “par value” (the T-bill’s value at maturity). T-bills are purchased at a discount to the par value and the T-bill’s yield represents the difference in price between the “par value” and the “discount price.” Aggregate funds in your Treasury Account in excess of the T-bill purchases will remain in your Treasury Account as cash. The value of T-bills fluctuate and investors may receive more or less than their original investments if sold prior to maturity. T-bills are subject to price change and availability - yield is subject to change. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. Investments in T-bills involve a variety of risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk. As a general rule, the price of a T-bills moves inversely to changes in interest rates. See Jiko U.S. Treasuries Risk Disclosures for further details.

Investments in T-bills: Not FDIC Insured; No Bank Guarantee; May Lose Value.

Banking services and bank accounts are offered by Jiko Bank, a division of Mid-Central National Bank, Member FDIC.
