Saturday Savers Club Week 28 - a nice solid week of growth

Its week 28 (13/07/24) of my savings focus for 2024 with the Saturday Savers Club which is a great Hive community initiative run by @shanibeer writing as @sally-saver on the @eddie-earner account.

My goals for this year are:

  • Primary goal - to increase my HP by 7500, to 18500 HP,
  • Secondary goal - to increase my HP delegation to @eds-vote by 1000 HP, to 3000 HP (because I want to accumulate more of the EDS token).

I will also be continuing to increase my holding of investment tokens, and delegating HP to a number of good community curation accounts as well.

This weeks pic -It was a lovely day here yesterday in Edinburgh and I was out for a nice walk when I spotted this cool cloud formation.

Weekly Investment Focus

  • I'm continuing to sell all HBD post payouts for HIVE when I get them, and have set up a buy order to buy back into HBD at $0.35. At the current price of HIVE this would represent an increase of around 40%+. I keep loading HIVE into that and I'm hoping that the price will get back up to there at some point, although I'm expecting that to be months away. If it happens it will be a nice little earner,
  • Over the last couple of days I remembered that you get rewards for using Brave browser. It never ever amounted to much and was so little value that I couldnt withdraw it, but I checked it again this week, and had enough to withdraw. I figured out how to get it over to the WAX blockchain as I've been looking to buy more NFTs for Alien Worlds. So its worth checking back in on those old accounts now and again - you never know what might be sitting there,
  • I'm continuing to play a few play-2-earn games on the WAX blockchain, and particularly Alien Worlds. I've started to use some of the earnings for staking and liquidity pools from that. Its small beer at the moment, but it has the capacity to grow, so its another nice avenue to explore,
  • I renewed my inleo premium again - I still think its worth it, even at this low price of HIVE, especially noting that I do all of my posting through inleo these days.

Weekly Stats

Weekly commentary

  • HP Gain: I gained +79 HP this week, which is a little more than I was expecting - its always nice when that happens !,
  • HP Passive: 26.13 of my HP gain this week came from curation (+17.08 HP, not really passive) and HP APR (+9.05 HP - based on the current HP APR of 3.26%) - which is another highest weekly income figure for this. I'm enjoying seeing this figure gradually increasing over time,
  • HP goal: My HP total now stands at 14440 HP and I need a further 4060 HP to hit my primary goal of 18500 HP. At 24 weeks to go, that requires 166 per week (an increase of 4 HP per week). The annual target is certainly looking rather difficult to hit - but this low price of HIVE is helping. Its a great time to accumulate HIVE !,
  • HP delegation to @eds-vote: My HP delegation to @eds-vote increased by +16 HP to 2666 HP. I need to delegate another 334 to hit my secondary target to raise my total delegation to 3000 HP. That will require an average of 13 HP delegated per week to hit it, which I should achieve (even if it means dumping more than planned in to hit the goal),
  • HP delegation to curation accounts: I added a further +15 HP to my @worldmappin delegation to take that total to 153 HP. The aim is to take that to 250 HP - so I have 97 to go - not that far to go now,
  • HP delegation to curation accounts: The main aim of these community delegations is to support these great curation accounts that have certainly helped me along the way to where I am now, but I'm also getting nice daily drips of HIVE as a result from @ocdb, @qurator and @curangel as they pass on their curation income to delegators, which is a nice little bonus !
    I tend to reinvest those HIVE drips from the curation accounts back into my HBD:HIVE trading fund, giving a nice little synergy to growing another income stream,
  • LEO (which includes LP): I gained 29 LEO this week, which is a little below my 12 week rolling average, but still a nice amount. It keeps on building up nicely. This takes my total to 4350 (which includes both LEO and LP),
  • HP delegation to @leo-voter: I added 1 HP (!) to my delegation to @leo-voter this week (actually it was due to HP APR growth). I do intend to add to it further later in the year (after my curation account and @eds-vote delegation targets have been completed) but am monitoring it anyway because its an important part of my LEO growth strategy,
  • EDS: I gained +2.88 EDS which is higher than normal, so thats great. My 2666 HP delegation to @eds-vote brought in 2.46 EDS this week. The rest of the gain seen came from the mining lottery for holding EDSMMs (I have 146 of those). I selected increasing my delegation to @eds-vote as my secondary goal as I'm really keen to keep accumulating EDS, and focusing on the HP delegation works well with my primary goal of increasing my HP total,
  • HBD:HIVE Trading: I didnt have any trades go through again this week due to the low price of HIVE being outside of my active trading range. As said above, I'm currently working on a larger trade to buy back into HBD at $0.35, and am dumping HIVE gains into there from selling HBD at the current low price. It will probably take some time to go through, which is fine !.

Plan for the coming week

  • Regular Posting: Regular posting (daily) is the key to HP growth. I did a bit better on this, this past week, but still need to do a bit more, especially while the price of HIVE is so low,
  • **Posting via Inleo: ** I'm continuing to post mostly using Inleo due to the extra LEO this will generate. Its making a difference, as is having Premium,
  • Curation: To be active in HIVE Blog curation to help with HIVE curation rewards. I mostly try to keep my voting mana between 85 to 95%,
  • Undelegated HP: To continue to increase undelegated HP in order to improve HIVE curation rewards,
  • HBD:HIVE trading: To continue with HBD:HIVE trading. I'm going to keep adding more funds to the low end of my trading capital from post payouts over the coming weeks. HBD:HIVE trading has been working well for me, so I may as well take advantage of that and try to increase the profits on my trades - increasing my trading capital will help to make that happen,
  • HP delegation to @eds-vote: This weeks delegation of 10% of my weekly HP income to @eds-vote will add a further 8 HP,
  • HP delegation to curation accounts: This weeks delegation of 10% of my weekly HP income to community curation accounts will add a further 8 HP to @worldmappin.

Summary

It was a nice steady week - I'm always happy with a 79 HP gain, and its great to see other tokens growing as well. Plus it was a nice bonus to be able to withdraw BAT earnings from using the Brave browser into my WAX account. Cant complain at all.

My Tribe Token Investment Project

My experiment with 8 different tribe tokens on my alt account @hoosieboy is moving along. The experiment is designed to grow semi-passively via staking, curation, posting and rebalancing - in a way where the methods should work together and add constructively. Everything gets re-invested back into curation accounts for the same 8 tribe tokens, so it also provides a positive boost to those tribes.

My last rebalance on the 23rd of June clocked up quite a nice increase due to a number of the tribe tokens going up in value (more so than I was expecting). It actually resulted in my largest gain during a rebalance to date (for just over 6 HIVE). I know the numbers are not massive, but I'm just enjoying doing the experiment, and I'm finding that the results are different at every rebalance, which keeps it very interesting for me. As such, I'm already looking forward to me next rebalance which I'll do in another week or two.

You can check out my latest rebalance post on my @hoosieboy alt account here.

And as a reminder:

  • This weeks Savers of the Week post went live on friday (here). The awards for those selected are quite nice ! We are looking for inciteful content that shows how you are saving, growing and investing. Each of the 4 nominees gets 15% of the notification post payout and 5 HSBIs - so it can work out as a nice little boost to all selected ! So make sure you are creating your weekly savings posts, and tagging them in the comments of the weekly post from susie-saver on the @eddie-earner account - you've got a very good chance of getting selected !
