I’ve already got the ten cryptocurrencies for Wild Stuff purchased. It was already making some big moves after less than a day but now it’s really going crazy, up 13.2%:
In addition to the $4,000 I’m investing today to initiate the four tracking portfolios, I will also be looking to invest the first installment of $2,500 for the main investment fund. But, I’ll talk about that more tomorrow once I have those stocks actually purchased!
