The stock market rebounded this week with the S&P 500 and NASDAQ both finishing in the green. This week was a busy week for me personally. Work was really busy this week which including having to work six days this week. We also had a snowstorm here this week which meant time spent shoveling the driveway. Since I was busy this week, the accounts were basically left on auto-pilot. Let’s check out how the accounts performed this week!

Wrap up
This week also saw a little bit of interest income, $7.05, in the bank accounts. The total amount of dividends, options premium and interest received this week was $237.25. Overall, the accounts were up a little bit this week though not as much as the stock market was. Having automatic contributions set up and dividend reinvestment turned on really helps the accounts run on auto pilot. The taxable brokerage account is with M1 Finance which has an auto invest feature which made the purchases in that account this week without any effort on my part. I still need to make some purchases in the Roth IRA because I did not get a chance on Friday when the automatic contribution hit. Options trading also took a hit this week because I was busy. I still spent some time monitoring my open options contracts but did not really see any opportunities to trade this week. Even if I wasn’t busy I might not have made any options trades this week. That about wraps it up for this week. Thanks for following along!
