Reaping Dividends: 2015 year-end update

January 25, 2016

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!

• The market went up, down, up again, and down again. It would have been nervewracking if I looked at anything but my earnings which trickle in 9 months of the year.
• Nothing exciting in the latter half of 2015 on the dividends front: no stocks splits or  special dividends.
• I did buy shares of AXP too early. It’d been on my Buy list for months and  should have waited for it to drop to my original price point but I had a brain blip and forgot they’d just ended their partnership with CostCo which was big income for them. Whoops.
• Long term: If my buy was a mistake, I may eat it in a tax-loss harvest move, but it’s way too soon to be worrying about that. For now, I’ll revel in the highest annual earnings to date and see if we can’t double or triple that in 2016.
