Time for the one year update.
I started my Dividend Growth Adventure with 2 Shares of T and a projected $1.92 a year in annual Dividend Income.
Now it has grown to the following with a projected Annual Income of $262 and we meet our investment goal of $400 a month and are aiming to increase this amount in the following year with the upcoming promotion I earned this year.
Had some adventures along the way both teaching me that I suck at market timing. Each time I place an order the stock will fall the following week. Currently trying to figure out a way to market this amazing ability. Its a good thing I'm in for the long hall.
Most important lesson is I learned that I can watch a stock (TGT) drop from its high to its current level and not have panic attacks about the loss. I did end up selling it to help me purchase more shares of CSCO, which I feel much better about than the current state of retail. I still see value in TGT but I am going to add it to the watch list for now while I work on learning more about the retail sector.
I appreciate all the feedback members of the site have provided as well as the discussions and links to further information. I may not have quite the same size portfolio, but you all have been an inspiration is seeing what DGI can help me achieve for the future.
