This post is part of my ongoing twenty-year fifty dollar a day investing series in Strategy (MSTR).

Each week I document the streak, the share growth, the portfolio value, and the discipline behind the system.



📆 Week 29 Snapshot (November 3 to 7, 2025)


Shares: 29.32

Market Value: 7,078.00

Average Cost: 354.68

Total Return: Negative 31.9 percent


The portfolio is deep red again this week.

Strategy kept falling while other sectors stayed flat.

Bitcoin has been quiet, tech has been uncertain, and even during what is usually a holiday rally season, the market feels like winter.


I will be honest, that question crossed my mind.

Are we already in a crypto winter.


All of this is automated through Robinhood. The buys keep running even when I do not feel like it. That is the point.

Real proof. The automation never stopped even as the drawdown deepened.

🧱 You Didn’t Flinch


There were moments this week when I stared at the red and felt nothing. Not peace, not panic, just acceptance.

Because deep down, I know what I built was never meant to feel comfortable.


People on Stocktwits, X and Bluesky were questioning the system again.

They see the drawdown, not the direction.

They measure emotion, not behavior.


That is why I do not trade feelings anymore.

I trade time.


Every buy this week felt heavier. Not financially, but mentally.

It is hard to keep pressing buy when the numbers bleed, but the streak is the whole point.


Discipline is not when you feel motivated.

Discipline is when you execute anyway.

 Every week adds another brick. Compounding looks slow until the wall appears.

💭 The Internal Battle


I will not lie. Doubt did whisper this week.

I saw the red line and thought, what if this is the top of a long fall.

But then another thought cut through, time is my secret weapon.


That one sentence quieted everything.

Time multiplies every disciplined move you make.

The Streak Triangle stays the same, automation, detachment, and time.

Even when emotion spikes, the system keeps buying.


This week reminded me that sometimes compounding is not about growth.

It is about surviving long enough for growth to return.


Most people stop when it hurts. I use Robinhood because it lets me take emotion out of the equation and keep stacking daily.

Strategy led the losses this week, while indexes held steady. Patience is the only way to win this game.

💡 Lesson of the Week


Buy more when you are down as long as you have done your research.

Because in the long run, the market always goes up for those who stay in it.


Most people panic when the red gets deeper.

But that is when the real investors quietly build their future shares.

You do not get wealthy avoiding pain. You get wealthy by surviving it.


And when I look back years from now, I will remember one thing.

You did not flinch or break the system you built years ago, and that is why you are still here.

📣 Final Reflection


This journey is for the underdogs and nine to five workers who are told wealth is out of reach.


It is not about timing the market.

It is about proving that discipline beats emotion.


Every fifty-dollar buy is a receipt of ownership, a brick in the foundation of long-term wealth.
