Investment Activity for the week of September 9 2019

I was not investing in last two weeks because we were supposed to visit Florida for my mom's birthday and then planning to try Royal Caribbean cruise but Dorian came. We kept changing our airline tickets and our cruise became two days instead of 4. But since all these changes, Royal Caribbean gave us credit enough for another free cruise... :) Now we have to plan another cruise, although I still prefer Carnival cruises and we already have one planned for November. I actually was able to use my shareholder benefits and we will get $50 room credit just because I own 100 shares of Carnival stocks.

Mister Market is doing pretty good. I like how my portfolio went up, but since I didn't invest all money I was planning to, I am still in search for more stocks to add to my portfolio.

This week I only had one purchase. It was not new position.

 Bought

29 shares of MO - add up to existing position

It will add $97.6 to my yearly dividend income.

I did not sell anything.

How was your week?

August 2019 Dividends and Passive Income Progress. Reached my $1K goal!

Hello guys,
I had a very active trading month. My new investments started to pay dividends as well. I reached my old goal of $1000. Since I sold my rental house I am setting a new goal of passive income $2000 per month.

My total passive earnings for August was $1174.48, which includes $610.14 from dividends and 314.34 from interest, $200 one time bonus from etrade and $50 from discover.

Here my dividends by stocks

VZ	17.14
WIN	$1.83
IGT	$27.60
Total	$610.14

+ $314.34 interest - I plan to reinvest some of money which earning this interest right now into more dividends stocks

+ $200 - one time bonus from etrade

+$50 - one time reward from Discover (refer a friend)

Total of $1,174.48!!!

I am really happy about achieving my $1K goal. Technically most of the increase is due to investing money from the sale of rental house, so this is why I am moving to $2K goal. When I reach $2k goal, it means I have my old rental income plus dividends without actually my money being tied up in rental property and all headache of owning it.
