July Passive Income Pursuit

A bit delayed, but it's time to get out my July passive income up and posted.  July was an active month for me, I purchased both NNN and T to up my payouts.  Unfortunately I missed the ex-dividend date for T, but that will pay dividends going forward for me and help to increase the…

Throwback Thursday

Ah the 80's, a time that was so much simpler and probably one of the greatest times to grow up since we had modern convenience, but were not so interconnected that we lived off smart phones.  We made plans with each other, played outside still, and were able to go to the park by ourselves…

Learning From Your Mistakes – AAL

EVERYONE has made a mistake investing, it's part of the learning curve in the stock market.  No one is immune, everyone has a bad pick, bad timing, or gets hit by Mr. Market.  I'm going to talk to you about my biggest mistake, but from the positive side of things.  I like to have CNBC…

Recent Purchase – T

I am constantly on the lookout for opportunities in the market and when I have the capital I try to pull the trigger on stocks that I think have long term potential to be valuable assets over the long term.  AT&T is one of those companies that I particularly like as it the largest telecommunication…

Dogs of the DOW

There are many different investment strategies out there that people employ and while they may not be right for everyone, they all definitely still have their merits if you do your research and invest wisely.  I don't endorse any particular one strategy and urge each reader to do their own research to determine what risk…

Robin Hood Investing

So I'm not usually one to highlight different investment platforms, but honestly I couldn't think of a reason not to.  I ran across Robin Hood on another bloggers website and thought it was an interesting company, especially for those that are just starting out.  Basically the premise behind the company is that they allow you to…

Stupid product of the week

I love living in a nation where we have the choice on what we spend out money on,  for me I value experiences, great food and beverages, book, and other little things that aren't crazy expensive.  I am the opposite of what most companies want from a consumer.  Luckily for those companies there are people…

Recent Purchase – NNN

Interest rates are increasing and it's something that I believe is long overdue for a healthy economy and that will present buying opportunities in some sectors to get some long term capital deployed.  Currently the REIT sector has been depressed by rising rates and I feel that there is good opportunity to invest in the…

Throwback Thursday Knickknacks for Kids

Ah the 80's, a time that was so much simpler and probably one of the greatest times to grow up since we had modern convenience, but were not so interconnected that we lived off smart phones.  We made plans with each other, played outside still, and were able to go to the park by ourselves…

June Passive Income Pursuit

June was an interesting month for me.   I traveled a ton for work and pleasure, got sick as heck for a few days, and ran a Spartan Race that was just about eight miles while under the weather.  I didn't get to post as much as I should/wanted to, but people stopped by nonetheless…
