This is where I update all of the dividend payments made to me in the ETF Dividend Portfolio. It's much too new to create a chart yet but as the payments start to build up I'll create a chart and hopefully it will go UP and to the RIGHT! Always and forever! I'll start with the first and smallest payments to show how challenging it can be when starting out with stocks. Not … [Read more...] about All Dividends Paid | ETF Portfolio

ETF Dividend Portfolio Update 2024
Well it was nice to start the year on a high. Let's hope that 2024 finishes on an even higher note! There's still a lot of new contributions to be made and dividends to be reinvested before Santa comes around again though. If stocks behave and increase like they're supposed to then the ETF portfolio should reach $20,000 this year!

I Buy One Share of Visa (V) Every Month
For the last 5 or 6 months I have been buying one share of the credit card company Visa (V) every month.

I mentioned my Visa story here in a recent post and someone said it … [Read more...] about I Buy One Share of Visa (V) Every Month

How I Value a Stock: Buy and Sell
I'm not saying this is how you should value a stock but am simply sharing how I value the stocks in my portfolio. In fact, this could be a very bad way to value stocks as I'm only interested in broad brushstrokes, trending numbers and I'm always making exceptions, but it works for me. I have also been asked about this stock or that stock, so I figured I would share what I do as … [Read more...] about How I Value a Stock: Buy and Sell

ETF Index Fund Portfolio Update + Dividends
September was another challenging month for stocks. Since I started this whole ETF investing thing a few months ago I am yet to see an up month! The ETF portfolio value is still increasing each month but only because I'm adding new money and my portfolio size is still quite small.
