I’ve been closely monitoring the stock market over the past month, especially after the Fed’s decision to lower interest rates. I’m also tracking economic growth trends and how Palantir is gaining traction in the AI space.
Speaking of Palantir, I’m still not entirely clear on everything the company does, aside from developing impressive software that helps governments and corporations make better decisions across their organizations. As of today, Palantir has a strong cash position to support its growth, and it doesn’t seem to have any direct competitors.
Palantir also reached an all-time high today at $40.29
This confidence led me to start a position in 2021. I own 182 shares of PLTR at an average price of $15.29. Since it’s one of my growth stocks with no dividends, I’ll occasionally share updates as we watch it (hopefully) shoot to the moon [fingers crossed].

September 2024 Summary
Last month was a reboot for me, and fall is looking promising.
Even though I’ve slowed down my investment contributions to focus on paying off debt, I still buy stocks occasionally. Now that the market is bullish, I’ll prioritize clearing the debt while staying ready for the next opportunity.
