We are already halfway through the first month of 2015 and it has been a very active month for us. There have been a few purchases, some we have written about and a few we haven’t, and one big sale. If there is one thing I have learned over the last year, it is that we do not hold cash for a long period of time and we are always looking to make a move. The big question is, which stocks are currently on our radar?
Another month down in the dividend income books. Monthly I will evaluate and show the results of which companies paid dividends, progress towards the year and comparison to the past. This is a great way to track my dividends to see if I’m on pace for financial freedom. We are changing it up going forward to have both Bert & Lanny’s dividend income summary into one post – to save on postings/focus for the month. This hopefully allows readers to also track and compare Lanny vs. Bert and who is dominating who in the dividend income playing field, isn’t that right BERT?! Now onto our October dividend income results! Time to step up to the plate
About a month ago we published our September formal Watch List. A lot has changed over the last month. We have received a ton of dividends, the S&P 500 has been on a decline of 4.33% through October 17th. With October nearly in the rear-view mirror, it is time to update our watch list for the end of October and creep into November.

About a month ago we published our first formal Watch List. A lot has changed over the last month. We have received a ton of dividends, the S&P 500 has increased another .5%, Alibaba began trading, and McDonalds announced a 5% dividend increase! With September nearly in the rear-view mirror, it is time to update our watch list for the end of September and first half of October.
Having an established Watch List is critical for investors. It will help a potential investor identify when a company, that they have performed research over and determined that they would one day like to buy at a reduced price, becomes more affordable. Interestingly, even though I know about the importance of a Watch List, I still have not created one to date. This was brought to my attention recently by Henry at Living At Home when he asked me if I had any other stocks on my radar. I couldn’t believe it, but I did not have an answer. Now, it is time for me to put together a list of stocks to monitor going forward. Here are ten stocks I am adding to my July Watch List.
