Happy weekend everyone! I hope you all are enjoying, and if you are working hopefully not too much! Can you believe it's already almost halfway through June? I can't... Last week I didn't post on #saturdaysavers mainly because I was taking a little time off, which is always a good thing. You know what they say about all work and no play! The time away has impacted my growth somewhat, but nothing that can't be remedied by more hard work.
I've been participating in the Saturday Savers mainly to help myself to keep track of where I am on my Hive investments week over week. So far I've found it very beneficial and as long as it's helping I will keep it up!
Hive Power
My goal on HP is to reach 5K this year organically. I'm trying not to import outside funds unless I absolutely have to. Why you might ask? Because if I can do it anyone can it will make it easier to onboard new people with my story. I've been blogging a little over a year and right now I'm at 3.3K HP, not too shabby! I did take a week off this past week so my gains haven't been spectacular. I'm up about 100 HP, I was at about 3.2K as of my last post two weeks back.
I'm hoping this next month to break past 3.6K or better. I only have a little over six months to go so wish me luck!
PIMP
This token has been increasing in price as of late so I haven't been buying all that much. My goal is to reach 50K this year and at the moment I'm at 23.5K. I have a ways to go, so I'll be trying to pick up chunks of it whenever I can find a good price. The problem I always run into are the stupid bots that make it hard to get a good price without being outbid... I guess I can't complain though, I used to have a few bots running myself but the returns were small so I ditched that effort for long term projects. I do need to increase my acquisitions if I want to hit 50K by year's end.
What I like about this token as I've said in the past is that it's backed by physical silver in the PIMP vault. Worst case scenario it will always have value because it's backed by real silver.
HSBI
Although this was a late set goal it was the first to come to fruition. I wanted to achieve 2K HSBI units by year end and I've already surpassed that goal. I did take a screenshot yesterday when I finally hit the 2K, it felt great!
The HSBI program provides periodic upvotes on your posts, and the more you have the more frequent the upvote and bigger as well. If you want more information you can read my post about it here:
@thebighigg/hsbi-what-are-they-my-experience-and-a-starter-guide
I have been participating as a sponsor in several events that give out HSBI as a reward which have helped me arrive at my goal. Notably I am a sponsor of Shadow Hunters, Three Tune Tuesday, #NinetiesFriday , and I also do a weekly ten HSBI giveaway. Tomorrow is this weeks deadline to enter, if you want to enter just answer the weekly question and you are in the contest! Here's the link:

If you have questions about the events above feel free to ask, my favorite currently is #ninetiesfriday where you can share anything from the 1990's. Your imagination is the limit! One lucky winner will win six HSBI every week, three from 
SIM
This is a token I've recently started to accumulate. What I like about it is by holding it you receive liquid Hive dividends daily. What's better than free Hive? I'm currently holding 350K of the tokens in my wallet and another bunch in the liquidity pool. The nice thing about the LP is these tokens are counted toward your daily dividend. I usually pick up some daily as it's not very expensive at the moment.
PWR
I have been delegating to empo.voter to receive daily PWR tokens. These will be paying out liquid Hive in the coming months. I've also placed all the tokens I receive into liquidity pools to put the tokens to work to earn some more returns. No set goal here, but something you can look at if you're interested.
Other Tokens
I haven't really changed my holding of DBOND, DAB, EDS, EDSMM, or BRO. I have gotten some daily payouts from holding tokens which is why I love all of these projects. I want to pick up more and will do so when I find a good deal!
Silver
As a member of #silvergoldstackers I like to invest in silver and gold. It's something you can hold in your hand and will always have value. Even if there is a zombie apocalypse or World War 3 it's going to valuable. I think it's wise to own as much as you can afford. Keep in mind I'm not a financial advisor. Silver has been sitting around the $30 mark with some climbs and falls, hopefully the prices will begin to consolidate for a definitive move upward. Downward is the other option, but I'm an optimist!
