Not sure if this is necessarily a good thing or a bad thing but as of yesterday's close every position in my brokerage account is in positive territory since I initiated a position. While this is good to see it's not the best since I would prefer for stock prices to stay depressed longer while I build positions up and allow my dividends to purchase more shares. I'm sure sometime later this year we'll see something that pushes some positions back in to negative territory.
- Weekly Roundup - August 16, 2014
Quick update because it's late and I need to get to sleep. I initiated 5 new positions for me this week, although 4 of them are really small at just $25 each so far. I started positions in Disney (DIS), Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOGL), and Berkshire...

October was a slow month as expected for dividend payouts with only 2 companies paying out in my FI portfolio and only 1 company paying in my Roth IRA. In my FI portfolio, my forward 12-month dividends to start the month stood at just over $930 and...
- Espp
Well my ESPP shares officially hit my brokerage account today. I was able to get 184.524 shares at $29.33, which is the 15% off of the $34.51 close. Since it transferred to my brokerage account I'll be able to go through with my plan to sell call...
