Another week goes down in the record books and it was an eventful one at that. It was a long week of work for the wife, school for the kids, and blogging for me. Our youngest son turned 13 today. My b-day passed earlier in the week, bringing me ever closer to 50.
Halloween came and went, but before it did, we all got mauled by the Beast of Leo! My vote power is just now starting to recover. It was fun and worth every errant 66% vote I handed out.
Not mentioning BTC closing with two record highs would leave the story incomplete. Through all these events, I kept an eye on my portfolio and also managed a few trades.
More SPORTS - Another 14,000 Pickup
Though I don't play or follow teams anymore, sports was a huge part of my life. Our kids have never been much into sports, until lately. Devin, who's our oldest (and days from turning 15), is running everyday now.
People round here have been talking about SPORTS. Always looking to diversify my portfolio, I acquired 50,000 SPORTS a couple weeks back. Just now, I grabbed another 14,000. About half of that amount is staked and the remaining will stay liquid for now.
That brings my SPORTS HODLings to roughly 84,500. That may seem like a lot, but check out the Max Supply and the Circulating Supply. I'll keep picking up SPORTS little by little when I can.
More LEO & My 1st Four LEO MINER
My quest for 5,000 HIVE and Dolphinhood has slowed down of late. A great majority of my HBD rewards going towards LEO is to blame. That's what happened on Monday with another 12.8 LEO secured from LeoDEX.
As my earnings in LEO are beginning to increase, it's time to put those HBD rewards back into HIVE Power. Dolphinhood awaits!
As far as earning more LEO is concerned, I took a small step towards another revenue stream. My first 4 LEO MINER tokens!!! Looks like there's a buying opp on LEOM right now!
Not there's much of a lottery's chance that 4 LEOM will mine any LEO, but I staked them anyhow. I expect that LEOM will continue to gain value so I might as well lock them in.
Balancer Liquidity Pool
Friday made it two weeks since I provided liquidity to a Balancer Pool. This 60% BAL / 40% ETH pool was brought to my attention by 
And this is the joy of providing liquidity. My position isn't big, but savings often don't start that way. Compared to the amount I'm loaning, the returns are large.
There are some points to note here. As BAL falls, my Hodlings in the pool increase. That weight of 60% helps against the 40% ETH. While this happens, my Hodlings in ETH have decreased.
A situation may unfold and present a profit making opportunity. If BAL falls hard, I can exit the pool with much more Hodlings than I started with. Then it would be HODL time hoping the price of BAL bounces back up.
In the meantime, you can see my earnings in BAL tokens keep coming in. They'll do so for as long as I keep a position in the pool.
BAL returns may be better this week as my pool token percentage has increased. Several providers have removed large amounts of liquidity, making my slice of the pie larger. I'll find out Wednesday when the returns come in.
