As you can see above, the price has run away from the earnings. Oddly enough, back in Q1 of 2019 we saw the opposite, EPS ran away from the share price. It’s like Apple stock is lagging it’s earnings a couple of quarters. Q1 it was undervalued and now overvalued on an earnings perspective. 4.14%…
It’s been a bit since I reported on my side hustle, how is it going? Well, I’m still selling off some of the toys and board games I bought over a month ago. The thing with inventory is you don’t know when it will move necessarily. However, this week started off good, I did manage…
Lately, I’ve been discussing TOTAL RETURN a lot. Many young dividend investors chase high yielding investments without considering TOTAL RETURN. However, your goal is to have a larger and larger number in your account at the end of this game for retirement, so you not only want dividends, you want growth and large price appreciation…
I started the first week of 2020 by buying more Netflix and Akamai. I want to increase tech/growth exposure in my portfolio going forward. What have I sold? I sold all of my Kroger in my IRA for around 17-18% profit, I sold all of my shares of 3M for about a 5% gain, Verizon…
First and foremost, I want to say that 2019 was a great year in investing for me. It marked my first year of really being an active investor.

This week I finally got the opportunity to sell some of my Fidelity Health Care Services Mutual Fund for a profit. I’ve been holding this for over a year and it’s been a poor performer until recently. What were the mistakes I made with this stock? 1)Inside my IRA, I bought too much of it…

Six Flags I began purchasing Six Flags on October 24th. I purchased three times and now I am up a total of 3.10%. Volumes have been increasing but there have also been some VERY obvious manipulation attempts to the stock. So, we will see what the larger institutions do with this one. It is still…
Dividend Report for September So, September represented a smaller portion of my dividend income for the year. I simply don’t have as many stocks that report in September, not yet anyways! I also sold off a good portion of TLT so those distributions are no longer there either. Here is my monthly dividend returns for…

Unlike many investment books, he never gets wordy or uses overly technical jargon. His manner of writing is extremely clear and the order of the layout is…
I bought TLT multiple times throughout May and and starting selling in July. This was a swing trade I made. I missed the very top; however, I am happy with my trades. I try not to get greedy and simply desire to make over a 6% profit on these types of shorter-term trades. I am…
