Reaping Dividends: Stock split and half-yearly update

July 22, 2015

My brokerage account is held at TradeKing. Referral Bonus: Open an account, fund with $3,000 and place 3 trades within 90 days, we both get $50!

Investing Strategy:

1. I buy what I like.

2. I look for good dividends.

3. Keep costs low.

Update:

We had a great blip in February, one of our holdings decided to pay out a special dividend. A second stock split, which didn’t affect anything monetarily, but I get a temporary thrill seeing that we own “more” (only in absolute value but not more proportionally).

Thanks to the special dividend, this is our highest earning year in the way of dividends yet! Over $400. And it’s just all going back into stocks when I make our next purchase. The goal is that someday we’ll can live off the dividends from these holdings, which are just one part of my long-term plan and portfolio.

Update 1: Slow and Steady
