Portfolio Update #6 - Patience Is A Virtue


Dividend Investors, I hope you're all doing well amidst the chaos that's ensuing across the markets. Although you may feel the need to desperately sell and cut your losses, I assure you that a drop like this is good for the market. 

For the past decade onwards, prices have sky-rocketed, and not in line with fundamentals, but with such a large influx of retail investors who may now be the ones leading the selloff. 

I leave you with this quote before my portfolio update: 

""The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient" - Warren Buffet. 


Stocks Purchased: 

£20 - $C (0.43 shares)

£10 - $MAIN (0.32 shares)

£10 - $O (0.20 shares)

£10 - $EPR (0.31 shares) 


Portfolio Value: 

£5750 (-4.62% down compared to Update #5)

Portfolio Update #8 - Adding 2 UK Stocks

Image
  Hi Investors. So it looks as though my "Super 8" portfolio has become the Super 10 portfolio.  Today I added two UK stocks. The primary reason for this is because my previous 8 stocks were almost all US stocks, which meant every dividend I received was subject to a 15% withholding tax. A tax I can't escape. However, by buying UK stocks within my Stocks & Shares ISA account, I am able to avoid any taxes whatsoever, and instead, pay a small 0.5% stamp duty tax when purchasing shares. 1. Dividend Income Tracking Updates: a) From now on, I'll be using USD to show my dividend income growth. Yes, it doesn't make much sense as a UK dividend investor, but my current dividend tracker doesn't show dividend income growth after a decimal point, for example, it may take a few weeks of investing to see a change from £210 to £211. Whereas in USD this change would come sooner due to the strength of the pound over the dollar.  b) Additionally, you'll notice a new col...

Portfolio Update #7 - The Weekly Snowball Continues

Image
  Happy Monday Dividend Investors.  As always, I continue to double down on my 8 core stocks. Additionally, I have been thinking about 3 ETF's as I grow my income this year. They are as follows: $iUSA (tracks the S&P5), $EUN (tracks the top 50 companies in Europe), and $VMID (tracks the tope 250 companies in the UK).  As my positions grow, I'm aware of the importance of diversification down the line, however, this isn't something I'm too concerned about for the time being. Once dividends from every stock exceed £6-8 each, I'll consider opening positions in ETF's.  My Buys:  £10 - Citigroup ($C): 0.20 Shares £10 - Realty Income ($O): 0.19 Shares £10 - Mainstreep Capital ($MAIN): 0.30 Shares £10 - Legget & Platt ($LEG): 0.34 Shares £10 - EPR Properties ($EPR): 0.30 Shares Portfolio Value:  £5,983 ( + 4.05 since last update). Dividend Income Growth:  Note: There appears to be a minor bug with my dividend tracking software, so this weeks divid...
