Added to V, LMT, BTI, AFL, APLE, PNW, STOR, NNN, and LAND.
Nice to see when I do retire, I can ignore it and just collect the dividends. And a nice trial run to see how it would perform when I do have to ignore it.
As long as you retire during a bull market. I'm just kidding. A well rounded DGI port can be ignored if life gets in the way.

It's what I'm working on building. In case something happens to me, wife can get a job and have the dividends help support her and the kids until she can retire. Or even better once we're able to retire, we can travel as much as we want and have the dividends keep piling into the checking account to support our lifestyle.

That's the dream! I just have to convince my girlfriend. She doesn't plan to ever retire if she can help it, which could possibly leave me trying to round up friends to travel with.
Had an interesting talk with my Dad the other day. He said he noticed his mobility start to decrease at age 63, and that accelerated at age 73. Makes me want to get all my travel in sooner rather than later.

My plan is a little more fluid than I wish right now but life changes. Every few years I intend to make the port a little less complicated. I don't need to ride 50 tickers all the way to my grave. Nothing wrong with trimming and putting more in an index fund or income yielding asset. Most of us (or our heirs) are paying taxes on some part of our net worth sooner or later.

I hurt my back at age 38 and was promised things would get tougher in 20 years. It happened and I will get patched up at least one more time. IMO there is a middle ground. Take a few trips each year and if things work out you can still run wild for years during your early retirement years. I lived lean a lot of years but snuck some bucket list in while I was physically able.
ATVI is a falling knife today. Near its 12-month low. Anyone been monitoring this one?

ATVI hasn't seem these levels since 2018. They said Diablo Immortal would now be released in 2nd half or late 2022.

Added some WEC. My only UTE that actually crushed earnings so far. Harsh dip on the FED meeting fear.

Sorry to hear about your injury.
Hopefully 2022 will be a return to normal for everyone so we can all travel more.
