Fortunately I do know when I will be back again, next Wednesday. I have to make a business trip to Norway and I am leaving tomorrow (Saturday). It will be my first visit to Scandinavia and I look forward to it, even though most of the trip will be business related. The average temperatures will be between 30F and 40F. I think even a Florida guy like myself will be able to withstand that kind of weather.
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!
My personal goal is to find companies that pay consistent dividends. If the price-to-earnings is low as well then this is another indicator that the company is a buy option for me. However, I also believe in dollar cost averaging (DCA) in investments which eventually takes the price-to-earnings out of the equation. Why are dividends so great?
What is it that makes me like dividends so much? One of the things I learned during my MBA was that you really want to minimize risk and maximize gain. This seems like a simple concept, but it really is not. The reason it is not easy to do is because personally you have to decide how much risk you can accept for the amount of gain.
