More Dividends Update from March 2019
Welcome back readers. I greatly appreciate you guys sticking with me considering how idle the blog has been the past few months. Look for this to change very soon. I have some very interesting things in the works that I will be rolling out in the coming months.
During the month of March, the portfolio was still working on auto pilot. So there isn’t a lot to report. I received and reinvested the dividends. That’s it. The update is over…..
Just joking. Let’s look at just how well my portfolio runs on autopilot.

Small changes in allocation because of the market but none significant enough to be concerned about at this point.

Conclusion
March will be the end of the autopilot. I will be more active moving forward.
The reinvested dividends are very nice but I will be infusing more capital into the portfolio. I have been very please how well the portfolio has done while on autopilot. The past few months has really shown me that I am working a good strategy because the portfolio continued to compound even when I was off doing other things in life.
As always I look forward to reading all of your comments and questions, until then….. happy investing!
