Positives:

• This turned out to be another spectacular month.
• The ESPP shares that I didnt sell have rebounded a little. I am considering selling them now.
  
• I got a nice unexpected bonus of ~6%. This increased my 401k contributions, and my net pay this paycheck.
  
• The market has been mostly positive this month. My 401k, ESPP, and Roth have had a decent run back of late.
  

Negatives:

• My favorite credit card (Citi Dividend Platinum Select Mastercard) just sent me the notice I have already been anticipating. The 5% rebates for gas and groceries are being cut to 2% only. I hope other companies [Chase, etc] dont follow suit.
• It is taking a long time to set up my Treasury Direct account. I still have that hold on it.
  

Bottom Line: I wish I could have this month's performance for the next 240 months!
