It’s been close to eight years since the first post on this blog! Since that date, I’ve been steadily building up my dividend portfolio. In the early years, this was a topic I liked writing about, which resulted in countless blog posts, comments on other blogs, as well as writings on other sites. But after some time, the novelty wears off. Things are going great but for the past couple of years, writing became too much of a chore. I came across my blog today and noticed the last post dates back to April 2022. It’s time to call it quits so this is my farewell post. I’m still active on Twitter b ..read more

Didn’t realize the last update was nine months ago. The time I used to spend on finance blogging and writing is going to other things these days, hence the lack of updates.

Another quick overview of the dividends I received over the past quarter! The ascent of the stock market since the COVID-19 low has been truly remarkable. Over the past couple of months, my portfolio has moved increasingly higher. Several of my positions have performed extraordinary well, one position is getting closer to 10-bagger status! Probably one of the more interesting things in my portfolio has been the slightly reduced focus on dividends. By opening my mind for stocks with low or even no dividend, I’ve managed to significantly grow my net worth. Anyway, here are the dividends I receiv ..read more
