Needed to finalize 2020 tax planning. Always a fun Saturday when taxes are involved. Plus did some crypto trades today (24\/7&#8230;yay&#8230;sonofa&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>Did well in 2020. But I think a blind monkey just banging on his keyboard could have made money this year.  But I&#8217;m very thankful to have done as well as I did.  Of course, now I am convinced of a market crash &#8211; like everyone &#8211; which is why it won&#8217;t happen quite yet I suppose. But need to stay on my toes. This week beat my 2nd best week last year by $90 (realized trades) &#8211; lol. I&#8217;ll take it. Did a LOT of trades.   My long term positions did well for the most part.  I did sell some $TSLA because it&#8217;s just. so . high.   <\/p>\n<p>Supposedly, the next 2 weeks are traditionally awful (although I have not looked up those stats.)  And monthly opex is Friday and that always seems to mess with stuff.  So we&#8217;ll see how it goes.  Add a few crypto stock plays in AH on Friday on a hunch &#8211; hoping I&#8217;m not smacked upside the head on those.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto trading is fun. Although only doing small trades. I still had my BTC, ETH, LTC and XRP from 2017 buys. All that is in cold storage.  HODL!  Luckily, I also started building a trading position in 2018 in BTC and ETH after the crash so I sold a 1\/3 portion of that BTC this week to free up some trading cash. And have been buying BCH and OXT.  Just sold all of my BCH for a nice win.  Adding to OXT here.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, I should have been adding a lot more to my ETH.  Seems like it can do well % wise this year if the crypto run continues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finished my 2020 P\/L today along with my weekly P\/L.
