I was thinking a great deal about personality lately and I wondered to myself if there was a link between personality and investment style. Surely there must be some kind correlation since some people are day-traders, some insist on keeping their money in CDs, and others like me that prefer dividend investments. I began searching for the answer and the results are interesting.
I received The Gold Standard Seeking Alpha Certification today. I have been submitting a few articles to them here and there. I enjoy their site, so I am happy to contribute. I am proudly displaying the badge in my sidebar.
I started this site to help myself and to help others. For myself, I wanted to help solidify my investing philosophy and standardize my process. I enjoy receiving feedback (even the harsh criticisms), because in the end I just want to keep learning. I don’t profess to be any kind of expert. For everyone else, I hope you gain something form reading the site and the comments.
Everyone have a safe weekend and a Happy New Year!
Do you remember watching all the real estate infomercials in the 1990s? Some slick guy telling you he will teach you his secrets to making millions in real estate. I never fell for it, but some of my friends did succumb. If people ask me what kind of real estate I invest in, then the answer is pretty easy. I rely on real estate investment trusts (REITs) to diversify my dividend portfolio. This week I am taking a look at Simon Property Group (SPG) to see if they deserve a spot in my real estate empire.
I hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas.

Progress Energy (PGN) recently came up on a stock screen I ran while looking at electric utilities. The company has a long history dating back to 1925 and recently raised its dividend for the 20th straight year. Can PGN power up your portfolio?
