Project: Dividend Stocks for Teenager creating a new list of stocks

As I mentioned before my daughter has another $1k to invest. 

You can read all previous posts about this project here.

I am working on a new list of stocks to show her, so she can pick her new stock. Please comment and make suggestions.

I try to pick well known stocks, which are trading at their lowest at this moment and easily to explain her.

I opened my Loyal3 account in October and wrote about my October investment here.

November purchase here

This is my third month and another $200.00 to invest. 

I am up 2% overall so far.

Here is a little picture for you. 




As I mentioned in my previous posts I invest $200 every month.

So this month I am investing $100 in Walmart stocks, $50 in FTR and $50 in Macy's.

December was first month of dividends on Loyal3.


FTR$3.22
KSS$0.52
Total$3.74

Thanks for reading and have a great month of trading!

Project: Dividend Stocks for Teenager November update



I wrote how we started Dividend Stocks portfolio for my daughter before

Project-dividends-stocks-for-teenager Part 2

Project-dividends-stocks-for-teenager Part 1

Dividends income 2015
September    $49.81
October        $18.75
November

PG11.27
T17.39
28.66
Plus apparently when I was creating her account I used a code and this month they added $50.00 bonus to her account!

 

Total dividends up to date: $97.42 + $50.00 bonus

Her account is back into red zone but we don't plan to use money from this account yet plus she is applying for various scholarships, so maybe she can just keep this account without touching it for a while.

My daughter agreed to invest another $1000 (birthday gifts + some of her earnings) into her stock account. Although I was too busy to create a new list of potential stocks to choose from. But I will try to do it next week and I will post it here as well.

It looks like my November 2014 dividends were higher, this is due to no dividends from ARCP, lower dividends from NE and I sold PETS.

Additional passive income or free money from different financial institutions:

Loyal3 November purchases

Last month I opened my Loyal3 account and wrote about my October investment here.

Here is November and another $200 to invest.

I again purchased 4 stocks this month, $50 each - YUM, FTR, KSS and M.

Initially I planned to buy more of Walmart but switched to Macy's.

It's funny how it feels so different when you just invest $50 into each stock.

Thanks for reading.

Also in October her portfolio finally stopped being in red color.

Maybe in November we will be able to add another 1k to her account, if she agreed to do so. She will receive money for her birthday from family plus she earned some money from her part time job.

Opening Loyal3 account vs Extra mortgage payments

After reading other bloggers experience with Loyal3 for a while, I kept thinking about opening my own account but I was not sure if I have an extra income to invest.

Well, I was putting extra $300 toward my mortgage payments but since I have 3.5% interest rate I decided to start investing $200 into Loyal3 account.

At this point I believe it will be better for me to have cash invested in stocks, which I can pull out if I need to, especially if I pick dividend stocks. In a long run it is much easier to sell a stock than refinance a mortgage. Plus eventually I plan to turn my house into a rental property.

So far I bought 4 stocks, each $50 worth of investment - Frontier, Walmart, GAP and Store capital.

From now on I will keep track of my Loyal3 account here.

Thanks for reading.
