Here we are. Its May of THE YEAR OF THE PLAGUE... We have bottomed out, sort of. Who knows?
We may just have begun the march towards total meltdown. Or we may be over the hump and on our way to learning how to live with this thing. Only time will tell.
So in the meantime, go hiking in the woods. The following pic is at Solstice Park in Seattle. They have stones and paths that match the Solstices and Equinoxes of the sun. This is on the Spring/Fall Equinox path...
So what did I decide to do other than walk in parks? That's right. Buy some shares that could either pay me a fat dividend for life OR crash and burn and be a bet I lost. After all, all stock market purchasing is is just another type of gambling. But with much better odds than games in Vegas. The odds are actually in favor of the holder of these shares in the long run most of the time.
It is more precarious in times like these. I had about $3,000 of earned dividend to reinvest, and I decided to spend most on a solid performer who's Coronavirus impact is minimal... AT&T.
AT&T is a company that really is not going anywhere. The price is usually between $30-$40 per share. The recent dip took it to an area where it is a real bargain. And look at that yield - 7.21% for that purchase. what a way to lock in some solid passive income!
So I picked up 75 shares of T, I cannot resist a dividend for a company this solid.
The rest of the purchases are minor pickups. A little bit of Morgan Stanley and Bank of Hawaii.
This added $191.80 to my annual dividends. In other words, I get paid $0.021 cents per hour for being alive on a 24/7 basis. It slowly adds up.
Up next, my dividend increases/cuts of April. See ya in a day or so!
