Even on holiday weeks, the buy goes through. That’s what makes this a 20-year journey, not a trend.



Weekly Snapshot: July 1–5, 2025


Markets were closed early this week for July 4.

But the mission didn’t stop. The automation held the line.


Metric Value


Shares Owned 10.86


Market Value $4,409.01


Average Cost $377.50


Total Return +7.54% (+$309.01)


Why This Week Matters:

Even in a shortened week, the system did its job. This is proof that automation removes excuses. The buy didn’t stop. That’s how wealth gets built quietly, while everyone else pauses.



Robinhood Proof: Automation Never Took a Break


Even on a short week, the buy went through.


This isn’t theory. This is receipt-based investing.

Below is the screenshot showing my $50 MSTR buy, right on schedule.

Week 11 Portfolio Snapshot: $4,409.01 in MSTR, 10.86 shares strong. Discipline never takes a holiday.

What This Week Really Proved


The market took a break. I didn’t.


Most people take holidays as excuses.

I take them as tests.


When the world is grilling and coasting, I’m stacking.

Because the moments no one sees are the moments that build everything.



Shares Growth Over Time


Total Shares: 10.86

Week 11, Crossing 10 Shares. The Compound Effect Begins. Each bar tells a story. This chart shows what daily discipline looks like in real time.

Week by week, the number rises.

Not because of timing. Not because of luck.

Because the system doesn’t miss.


Closing in on 11 shares now. Small to the world, massive to my future.


Milestone Preview (Documented in Public)


1 share: The official starting line. This is where the journey became real.


10 shares: The emotional shift. It’s no longer a trial. It’s an identity.


25 shares - 25 percent checkpoint

One fourth of the way to 100. At this stage, the streak becomes its own reward.


50 shares - Halfway to triple digits

This is where most people quit. Long term thinkers level up.


100 shares -1000+ Legacy built in public

Every share tells a story. At 100, the archive speaks for itself.


This is where it’s headed. One $50 buy at a time.



Portfolio Value Growth


Total Market Value: $4,409.01



Bar chart showing 11 weeks of MSTR portfolio value growth, reaching $4,409 in Week 11 from consistent $50 daily investing.
Week 11 update: My MSTR portfolio just crossed $4,400. The streak continues, one $50 buy at a time.

The stock dipped slightly this week, and I smiled.

That means I bought MSTR cheaper.

That’s the beauty of DCA. I remove emotion and turn red into opportunity.



BakoBar Tracker: MSTR vs the World (Comparison to Week 10)

Bar chart comparing weekly performance of MSTR (+4.71%), BTC (+1.63%), SPY (+1.94%), QQQ (+1.55%), and Gold (+1.65%) for Week 11. MSTR leads.
BakoBar Comparison (Week 11): MicroStrategy led the week with a 4.71% gain, outperforming Bitcoin, SPY, QQQ, and Gold. Discipline > noise.

This chart compares how MSTR performs each week against Bitcoin, QQQ, SPY, and Gold. It’s not about predictions. It’s about keeping my behavior in context.


Even on slow weeks:


  • MSTR stays resilient

  • Volatility isn’t a signal. It’s noise.


I stay locked in either way.


Discipline doesn’t take holidays. Neither does compounding.



What This Journey Is Really About


This isn’t about beating the market.


It’s about:


  • Building character through consistency

  • Creating identity through repetition

  • Letting automation protect you from yourself


I’m not checking prices. I’m not chasing trends.

I’m not asking for permission.



From Zero to 10.86 Shares and Still Climbing

That post walks you through the psychology of reaching 10 shares.

Now I’m headed to 25. Then 50. Then 100.



In Case You Missed It




Mini Challenge


Ask yourself this:


Would your investing system keep going this week, even if you were offline, busy, or out of routine?


If not, it’s not a real system yet.

Your future wealth depends on how you behave when no one’s watching.



💰 Want to Start Your Own $50/Day Investing Challenge?


Your first $50 isn’t about investing.

It’s about identity.

Every automated buy is a receipt of who you’re becoming, not what you’re guessing.


Platforms I use and trust:




Long-Term Vision: One Share at a Time


I’m not chasing a number.

I’m building a portfolio that’ll still be alive when my future grandkids ask how I did it.

One disciplined week at a time.

Final Thought


The stock market doesn’t reward who’s the smartest.

It rewards who shows up longest.


So when the market took a break, I didn’t.


Because the next 20 years will be built one quiet week at a time.



PS:


Know someone who needs to see what long-term looks like or need a little push to start? Forward this post to them or share it on social media.

The receipts are public for a reason.
