Ah, April. Here in the Pacific Northwest, spring is full swing and the cold, grey, wet days of winter give way to more frequent days of warming, sunny, and dryer days. Unfortunately for my finances, this particular April has been less than great. Thanks to recession fears and rising interest rates, the market took a …

With February done, March is now here and spring is in the air. Here in the Pacific Northwest the weather has warmed a bit and other than a few sunny days it has largely been rainy and overcast for much of the past month. The stock market is proving to be quite a roller coaster, …

I hope February was a good month for you and you had a great Valentine’s Day. For me personally, the month was good but nothing much of note occurred. Regarding the stock market, the Russia/Ukraine war certainly affected the Dow 30, as it plunged over 2000 points from the first week of February to the …

Well, January is over and while the weather here in the Pacific Northwest is still gripped by winter, the days are steadily getting longer and this month has seen some slight warming. Spring is just around the corner! The stock market’s roller coaster ride that began in January showed no sign of stabilizing even into …

I hope y’all had a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Here in the Pacific Northwest, Christmas day and the days afterward brought a bit of snow to the area, but by mid-January it warmed up a little, giving a brief taste of the coming spring. As for the stock market, December ended on …

Well, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving with family and/or friends. It was a good Thanksgiving for me, spending the holiday with in-laws. As for the stock market, November was pretty good until the final week when the latest COVID variant sent the market into a panic. As a result my dividend investing portfolio’s …

The passing of October means we’re well into autumn and the holiday season is now ramping up. Regarding the economy, I suspect inflation and supply chain issues will be on many holiday shoppers’ minds this year, as they will find that things will be more scarce and/or more expensive. For some, the financial picture will …

With September over, we’re now into autumn and the new school year. It’s been an interesting month, as we took in a second stray rabbit. If somebody had told me last June that we would have not one but two rabbits before the end of summer, I would have questioned their sanity. Regarding the stock …

Well, August is done and the summer is slowly winding down. Not much of note happened for me in August, so there’s nothing to really say. The market has been slowly rising, despite some not so great days. So how was my dividend income for August? Let’s do the numbers and see. AWP $ 44.00 …

Hope you’re having a great summer. While the serious heat wave we had in June has passed, here in the Pacific Northwest it has been unusually warm and scarcely any summer thunderstorms and rain. The market has certainly been mildly volatile in July, going down as often as it goes up. The new Delta variant …
