Hi everyone,
As promised, I plan to
update my portfolio, as I’ve kept busy plugging away with small purchases over
the first half of the year. As of
today, my taxable account stands at $14,518.09, which is a long way from the 0 I started with less than a
year ago. The funny thing is, I honestly do not even miss that money used to invest, which would have simply been blown on something in years prior. This amount is spread out over
19 different companies, as I’m slowly growing my position in each (with the exception
of the spin-off South32). Currently, my
largest holding is Apple Inc. (AAPL), followed by BP. My forward annual dividend income now stands
at $517.29, which as mentioned in my last post, surpasses my first half of 2015
goal of $500!! Of note, my newest
holding is The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS), along with the General Electric Company
(GE) and Realty Income Corporation (O).
I’ve slowly added to these new positions and will continue adding on a
monthly basis for the time being, along with my other core holdings. In addition to my holdings, I have saved some
cash reserve to be used to purchase additional stock in my taxable account and
ROTH IRA account.
My retirement accounts
have been accumulating as well during this first half of the year. My Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) now stands at approximately
$58,000 and a separate retirement savings account is currently at $10,200. With these accounts and my taxable portfolio,
the investments total approximately $82,718.
This total does not include my investment property that is currently
rented, but is substantial growth from where I started last year. I’m hoping to hit the first big milestone
soon on my journey, which is 100k!! I’m
really hoping to reach that mark by the end of the year and will actively be
investing as much as possible to meet the goal.
Without further ado, here
is my current holdings in the taxable portfolio.

As noted in my last post, I plan on updating this blog
regularly now that I have additional time after I had to take a hiatus for the
first part of the year. Thanks for
stopping by and please feel free to leave a comment, question or suggestion. Happy 4th of July!
