Lanny’s October Watch List

Posted on by

It’s been a while since I’ve come out with a post.  Just for the readers – I’m a public accounting firm in a top 10 firm that audits SEC registrants and the last week I’ve been in the middle of our own regulators inspection process on the audit work that we perform – therefore, my days have been approximately 12-15 hours long, depending on the day, been a whirlwind, but thank God for Bert, the other Diplomat for continuing to write away.  Thank you Bert.  I’ll also do a spin off with him and write about my October Watch List.  Let’s see what stocks are high on my list and which one’s I would actually consider to invest into.  “There’s only one October!”

Lanny’s September Dividend Income

Posted on by

September… ah September.  The leaves are changing and so did my dividend income for the month.  It’s a wonderful quarter end, which for me and most investors – typically means a larger than normal month of dividend income to our portfolio.  Most of the big blue chip companies pay on the calendar quarter end and I own quite a bit that does so.  As the leaves change color and the temperature begins to cool in Ohio, our portfolios heat up with checks coming into our mailbox from all of the wonderful companies that we own.  Now… to the numbers!
