I'm Back To Write Again

Hi All

After long months without writing any word in the blog and what happened to me, I'm back to write again and with you for the long time.

I've got few emails from long readers asking where I am now? Did I left this blog and moved to other blog?

So the answer is: I'm Alive and still here doing my best to success with lots of setbacks from May till Today.

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:

Back From India

I'm back after 1 month trip to India. I went to think about my life and what I want to accomplish in them. I went only for 2 villages and not traveled much, what you can see in the picture is the Himalaya mountains.When I saw this I thought about what I want to accomplish in my life so I can get to the highest points of my life.

India is a good place to think and get relax, also a cheap country like India is getting expensive, I think that in 5 years from now , the prices of food and hotels will be like in Europe , so if you have the chance now to travel to India or the far east - Just Do It.

When I got home, I've sold 5 stocks: CVX, FAST, DOV, DE, VZ because I left my job before the trip so I need to pay my alimony.

Also I wanted to start and make my eBay store my main income, so for the mean time I need some cash for paying my bills.

When I was at India I've decided to concentrate only at 25 stocks and not more so I have to sell 2 more stocks from my portfolio - MO and I didn't decided which other stock.

Dividend Portfolio Update - February 2016

Well, the time has come to update my dividend portfolio once again as heading to another start of a new month and a new year. My portfolio is my way to freedom from looking after funds to pay my alimony. One day, the dividend income this portfolio generates will fully cover my alimony. It’s important to keep in mind that I'm updating the overall value of my portfolio because if I have setbacks  I will use the funds in my dividend portfolio to pay my alimony.
