I’ve always been pretty open with my investment moves, for better or worse. I always let you know what I’ve recently purchased, usually within just a few days of buying. Doing so is part of my overall mission with Dividend Mantra, and that is to provide a live journal on the road to early financial independence. […]
10-Year Treasury Yield? Double It!
This article originally appeared on The Div-Net September 22, 2011 The 10-year Treasury is yielding 1.85% as of this writing. I currently have no exposure to bonds in my portfolio. This anemic yield is one of those reasons. Why would I want to lock in my capital for such a low yield, especially for a period […]

Opportunity?

Two Stocks On My Watchlist
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down almost 4.5% over the past month, and while not a correction by conventional definitions (10% or more drop), the market has still experienced a healthy retraction. I’m excited when I see moves like this in the market. I generally make purchases every month, because I believe that I […]
Three High Yield Stocks On My Radar
Looking at my portfolio over the last few days, I have noticed that I only have one high-yield stock currently in the stable. That one stock would be my position with Altria (MO).
