Dear all readers. It is with mixed feelings, but I will be stopping the blog moving forward and unfortunately will no longer be updating the blog with posts and articles.  This blog started many years ago, when I just graduated from graduate school, hence the name "Young Dividend". However, it's more than a decade now since I started, and I am no longer that young anymore. I started this blog as I wanted to share with people of the community my thinking and journey with investing and becoming independent. And over the years, my portfolio has grown from both income invested from my job ..read more

It is the holiday season, and year end. I decided to write a portfolio update and what is happening from my side as I haven't been writing as much as I wanted to this year. I wish everyone a happy holidays and it is a time to appreciate what we have and celebrate. In the last few months, as same as before, I have not purchased any new stock except for my dividend reinvestment. In December, I have turned dividend reinvestment off, and am now holding the cash. I have also sold some stock (temporarily) to raise cash for housing down payment. I do have to pay a capital gains tax on this, as many o ..read more

Portfolio Update - happy Thanksgiving
Young Dividend

2y ago
It has been a long time since I saw down and wrote about my portfolio. To summarize, life has become more busy and I let my portfolio go on auto-pilot. My workload has increased as I have been promoted at work, and spend most of my time traveling meeting new business opportunities. Right now, I do not have as close of a detail view of the stock markets but have been following at a high level. Some takeaways I see from the overall market is: All assets are very inflated, too much money chasing too few deals. The COVID 19 stimulus and cash injection into the market and public hands has increase ..read more

March to June 2021 Dividends & Portfolio Update
Young Dividend
by
2y ago
I have not been able to write as much as I hoped to on my blog. I summarize the dividends I received in the last 4 months since I last published anything. Work responsibilities have been increasing as I am given new responsibilities, which has caused me to have less time to publish. I have not been able to invest much recently as I feel the market is over-valued. As a result, I just reinvest the dividends I receive but keep the remainder cash from my vocational income as a rainy day fund. Currently my cash is around $73K USD. Dividends continue to track upwards, there were a few special divide ..read more
