March - April 2016 Review

Hello my readers,

It's been a while since I wrote to you about my dividend income and dividend portfolio. I was a way from home, I traveled to India ,to take some time to myself and think what I want to do in my life. I used to work in the insurance industry, after the trip I quit my job and decided to turn my hobby (as I wrote here ) into a business, I opened for now store in eBay called : Divorced Place . I sell there mainly postage stamps, coins, postcards, cd's, dvd's.As of this issue I need an Investor ( Wrote about it here) so I can buy new inventory. as you all know Warren Buffet he is also stamps collector, If someone knows how I can reach him so he will invest in me and help me to make this business bigger and keep the stamp collecting alive and not only for adults, I want that kids will start also to collect stamps and not only play over the computer.

So now for some more pictures from my travel to india:

Like good investor I eat and drink what I own.

I realy liked the time in India - to relax , to meet new people, to meet new culture, to taste new food.
I will go there soon , I need to travel the other side of India.

And now for some numbers:
