The 24th of May Long Weekend

 


Although the '24th of May' doesn't always fall on the long Victoria Day holiday weekend here in Canada, in Newfoundland ... it's the traditional start of camping for the summer despite snow or rain and called the 24th of May long weekend.

It used to be mostly about tents once upon a time but now it's more like the start of RV season. Kind of roughing it? But certainly not the same like getting out the ol' Coleman stove and having breakfast, cookups by the fire, trail walks and fishing. Usually, lots of fun to be had and a good break from work.




In the Crypto world, Bitcoin is once again hanging around the 30 grand USD range. With always lots of volatility, the coin seems to reset to that range for now, waiting for direction that buyers and sellers will take it while rolling with the US stock market ...  more with the tech related Nasdaq market.


Ethereum or ETH is evolving with another phase happening in early June on the path to some major changes to occur in August such as moving away from Mining and hopefully making fees for users cheaper overall but I don't expect transaction ETH gas fees to go down much. This could boost the price some as those events get closer. 


June is another busy month for the dividend paying stocks I watch and hold with some top companies nearing ex-dividend dates, which is the date buyers must own the stock to receive the cash distributions paid. I'll highlight a few in my next post.
