Unrelated to to EC, if you want to grow your account, right now the 50/50 payout option is much better than the pure Steem Power payout option. SBD can then be traded using the internal market for Steem that can be powered up.

That is fantastic advice...thank you! I thought I was figuring something wrong when I paid for an upvote on my last post. Not only did I change over to 100% SP, but I bid on the bot with STEEM. The detail report said that I would make about $8 on my $5 bid (2 STEEM), but the vote after curation now shows that I'll only get 1.26 STEEM back. I dunno what happened. My other bids have been profitable...or at least I think they have been. With the drop in STEEM value, it's hard to calculate, as I'm still new at all this.
Anyway, I appreciate the advice. Anytime you feel like imparting some wisdom to a newbie, drop on by...I'll take all the wisdom I can get!
The general rule of thumb is that if the price of SBD’s is more than $1 USD, 50/50 is the way to go. Back when I started, SBD’s were fluctuating slightly above and below $1 USD, so pure SP versus 50/50 was basically a tossup. But lately, SBD’s have been well above $1, for no reason that I can explain.
