Goal Accomplished: Investing $15,000 in “New” Capital
I’m excited! I haven’t written one of these articles in a long time and it feels great to be back in the game. My last purchase of Emerson Electric was significant for a few reasons.

Crossing $55,000 in Market Value & $2,000 in Dividend Income
As we mentioned in our blog’s one year anniversary post a few days ago, my portfolio has crossed a couple of major milestones recently and I am very excited to finally share them with the community.

Two round, iconic numbers in my eyes. It has been a fun journey between milestones, so lets take a look at how I got there.
