    Travel Planning - Tampa

    As I start planning for our next trip to Tampa, I booked hotels, plane and rental car.   I booked all 4 nights using points, so there was no cost.   I am using 3 nights worth of points at Marriott Hotels using their Bonvoy Points.   One of the Credit Cards I use is the Marriott Bonvoy Card.    They offer 3 free nights just for signing up and using the card.   While they do charge a $95 yearly fee, which I normally am not a fan of, this is the one exception I have because they offer you a free night every year.   Marriott's charge much more than $95, so the annual fee equates to a savings when traveling.   I also used points I have accrued from my last trip to Key West to get my fourth night for free using HHonors Points.   We are flying Southwest and I had enough points to cover those flights as well.   The only real cost for A/H/C (Air/Hotel/Car Rental) was the Car Rental which is just under $400 after taxes for 4 days.     I will update this blog throughout the planning and throughout the trip itself.     Have any great spots to checkout in the Tampa area?  Let me know!

    BA - Boeing

    1/6 - Purchased BA today at $210.10 with a Sell Limit of $231.35.   They have been getting increased order requests and once this wave of COVID gets by us air travel should start picking up again.   I am expecting this stock to hit its sell limit within the next 3 months.

    SOFI - SOFI Technologies

    1/5 - Purchased 2 at $14.73, with two limit sells placed at $16.20 and $17.82 respectively.    This is one of those roller coaster stocks that I keep buying on dips and selling on increases.   They have a solid business practice with lots of room for growth.   These pricing points will most likely be hit in the next few months and most likely will hit possibly on or near the same day based on how this stock tends to pop.

    1/20 Update:  SOFI hit the $16.20 target today, selling with a 10% return in just 15 days.   I expect the second price target to hit within the next 30-60 days.   Once that price target hits, I suggest keeping an eye on the stock and buying more the next time it goes below $15 unless something huge changes in the company.   As always, make sure your 30-day window has passed since the last sell before buying more.
