I was talking with a friend today who moved to... Continue Reading →
Fall season is approaching, and I am feeling at home once more as I pull out the fall decorations and Halloween decor over time.

Dividend investing was the initial strategy I chose to go with, with a concentrated focus on blue chip stocks. Think well-known names like Coca-Cola, Hershey, Disney, Shell, Starbucks, and Simon Property Group.

My private investment fund now has $500aum, which is halfway to the goal of $1,000 by the end of the year. I'm also happy to say that I now have an official name for it, though I won't be divulging it here just yet. It's new, and I don't have ownership of the name yet,... Continue Reading →
Okay, I m not sure where to start as it’s always hard to get back onto a project like this where I left off for a while because things got busy with school. I finished my classes yesterday, took my last final around 4:00 p.m., and finished it up. Truth be told, I did not... Continue Reading →
