The Local Store Brand's Dozen Eggs were $6.69. A Bird Flu Breakout is Causing this. Eggs are Notorious for Being a Nutritious Food, High in Protein and Health Fats; a Very Satiating Food. More Importantly Eggs are Notorious for being CHEAP. Looks Like that is No Longer the Case. -IndependentCandy14

The Last Time I Contributed to my Portfolio was Almost a Month Ago. My December Retirement Plan Contributions were Made Earlier in the Month than Normal, and I added to My Taxable on December 22nd. I Do Not Think I have Gone this Long in About 4 Years Without Contributing to my Portfolio. #Withdrawals. LoL. My Plan was to Split up My Retirement Plan Contributions from Monthly to Bi-Weekly. I Have Not Done That. I Am Riding this Rally Right Now. I Will Still Make my Monthly Retirement Contribution at the End of this Month. I am Not Sure if I Keep it in Cash or I Invest It on Day One; this will be Based on the Earnings Reports I Analyze in the Next Two Weeks. I Might Beef Up My Cash Reserves from 9 Months to 12 Months and then Start Deploying More Back into the Equity Markets. I Rather Be Liquid Now for Opportunities that May Arise. Real Estate. -IndependentCandy24
