Well, that was an interesting month in stocks. Anyone holding high flying growth stocks will be looking like they've just gotten off of a rollercoaster right now. My Australian stocks portfolio and my world stocks portfolio were both wacked as I hold stocks like Microsoft in the US and REA Group in Australia. The ETF portfolio was also hit but I didn't see swings of more … [Read more...] about ETF Dividend Portfolio Update for February

ETF Dividend Portfolio Update 2025
I'm 10 days late posting this update as I've had a sore foot and I've been getting around like a bear with a sore foot! I see where the term comes from now as I've been angry, irritable and ready to bite off heads! But all is well and it's now time for this bear to get back on the horse. Last year my goal for the ETF dividend portfolio was $20,000. I achieved that goal and … [Read more...] about ETF Dividend Portfolio Update 2025

Well, another year has flown by. I hope your 2024 has been a good one and I wish you all the best for 2025.

The first major goal I set for this ETF portfolio was $20,000 and I'm happy to say that this goal has been achieved!!! Woohoo! That feels so good to say out loud!

October ETF Freedom Making Machine Update
Dividends included the quarterly payers in October so it was going to be a good month but we didn't beat the high back in July which was $130.30. Still, it was the second month above $100 so I'm pretty happy with that. The ETFs made a total of $126.98 in October. I'm hoping to break the $150 mark in January 2025 when all of the ETFs distribute dividends. October 2023 was … [Read more...] about October ETF Freedom Making Machine Update
Exchange Traded Funds Dividend Portfolio Update: September 2024
The ETF dividend portfolio has increased by more than $1,000 again this month and it's not because I'm an amazing stock picker, it's because I added $1,349 in new contributions! Getting started with investing in the stock market is hard work. It's very simple, there's nothing complicated about it, but it takes a lot of effort to get the snowball rolling down the hill by itself. … [Read more...] about Exchange Traded Funds Dividend Portfolio Update: September 2024
August ETF Dividends and Portfolio Update
Markets worldwide started the month with some panic and a little craziness so I was just hoping to come out even if I added as much new money to the fund in August as I could. Thankfully the madness settled and markets regained most of the losses as the month went on. The portfolio finished up so all is well. If you're not one to check your portfolio everyday and you avoid … [Read more...] about August ETF Dividends and Portfolio Update
ETF Dividend Income Portfolio Update for July 2024
I know that I add the portfolio total to the header and present it like it is the central focus (I have started including the dividends too this month) but the only reason for me investing in anything anywhere is the INCOME! Owning $50,000 worth of a particular stock doesn't make me happy, it's the income from that stock and the freedom that it creates. Dividends and passive … [Read more...] about ETF Dividend Income Portfolio Update for July 2024
