My BusyBees & SlothlySavers Weekly Update - 2026 Week 35

The #SaturdaySavers programme run with huge dedication and commitment by @shanibeer came to an end with the close of 2025.

But there are a couple of initiatives to keep the motivation going !

I've decided to post them in the BusyBees Community. This is a community set up to support @zakludick's tireless work in encouraging and teaching newer Hive users. Additionally, I'm adding the #SlothlySavers tag and linking my updates in their weekly update post, because that's another place where former #SaturdaySavers are gravitating to.

Here's a screenshot of last week's progress;

How Did The Week Go ?

This was a week where I had a lot going on in real life, so keeping my Hive mojo going was lower on the priority list than it should have been. I'm glad I'm going on holiday for a few days, it'll be good to recharge my batteries !

In the wider world, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster on all the markets, including with HIVE prices. I'm kind of learning to ignore short term volatility, it's all a function of knee-jerk reactions on the markets. Better to look at longer term trends.

As for those long term trends, well I haven't got a clue where they're headed, although Saab and Rolls Royce stocks look like a decent bet right now. And no, that's not financial advice - I'm just looking at real world trends and possibilities and applying gut feeling !

Here's an amusing idea for those who collect such things. The US-Canada trade war is hotting up. One of Canada's retaliatory tariffs is 25% on wood pulp. Most US toilet paper is made with Canadian wood pulp. If Canada blocks it completely, the US is going to be in the shit. Literally.

And as you probably all know, Tuesday is HPUD - Hive Power Up Day. I'll be doing it, will you ?
