I missed the last couple days of your post but hope to get back to read them.

There is a lot of influence on Hive in both directions like you said. For me I am liking to build my Hive Power for the curation return, I know I do not earn a lot from posting but I get enough. My HBD with the 10% interest I am trying to build it up. If I can get it to 100 HBD in savings then that would mean 10 HBD coming in every month. It will be a slow road, but one I think is worth it.

I have been pretty happy with the direction of Hive especially this year. I still think we will close the year out at very close to or over the $1.00 mark. I was expecting a rise to 0.63 by today, so was surprised to see how far past that it made it. Guess I am not going to win in the guessing game of price. If there is a slight pull back my gut feeling is it will not drop below that 0.63, but that is just pure guessing on my part. I think most of the TA people only guess and make the lines justify their price guess.
