Week 15 of My $50 a Day MSTR Journey: Red Numbers, Full Discipline

The market slipped. I didn’t.

This is what financial peace feels like.

I used to panic when stocks dropped.

Now I lean in. I get excited.

Because I know what this game really is.

A long term ownership race. Not a one day performance show.

For most people, red means fear.

For me, red means more shares.

This was Week 15 of my $50 a day MicroStrategy journey, and it ended in the red.

But for the first time since I started this challenge, I didn’t flinch.

I actually smiled.

Because the deeper I get into this 20 year mission, the more detached I become from price.

Behavior is what builds wealth. Not the color of your portfolio.

Week 15 Snapshot

Date Range: July 28 to August 1, 2025

Strategy: $50 daily automated on Robinhood with $100 on Mondays for weekends

Metric Value

Shares Owned 14.212092

Portfolio Value $5,244.40

Red numbers, but the system stayed green. This is a Proof of discipline, not opinion

The Market Was Up All Week Until Friday

The market was green almost every day this week

Then a bad jobs report on Friday flipped the mood

Bitcoin dropped. Tech sold off.

Even MicroStrategy slipped under my average cost

But I didn’t. My automation didn’t. My behavior didn’t

Every morning, my system bought another $50 of ownership

And on Monday, it added $100 to cover the weekend

I didn’t lift a finger. But my future moved forward

Portfolio Value Growth from Week 1 to Week 15

Each green bar shows the total value of my MSTR portfolio by week. Week 15 closed red, but the trend is still up

Share Growth Over Time

Blue bars show my total MicroStrategy shares each week. Share count never goes down when you invest with discipline

The Emotional Shift You Cannot Fake

I used to refresh my app every hour

Now I go days without checking it

The old me wanted growth

The new me wants shares

Because I finally understand the formula

More shares equals more value over time

And that is only possible if you stop chasing and start stacking

Red Numbers Used to Scare Me

Now I welcome them

Because every time the price falls, my system buys more for less

And I know that’s how ownership multiplies

Let others run. Let others panic. Let others flip flop every week

I’ll take more shares. More receipts. More peace

This Week Taught Me Again

Markets will do what they want

Up, down, sideways

But if you automate your behavior, you win in all three

You will never catch the perfect bottom

You will never sell the exact top

But if you show up every day, you will own more than those who chase

Nothing Changed and That Is the Win

My setup didn’t change

My behavior didn’t change

My goal didn’t change

Only the price changed

And I used to believe that mattered

Now I know better

This journey is about volume. About proof. About identity
