Dividends will be over $5k for sure. As for the cruise, how was it?

I've been quite busy at work leading up to the cruise, so it turned out to be a good time for a break. <br /><br />I'm revisiting the way I do stock valuations, so I'm expecting more changes to the portfolio in the next few months. But O is a keeper in my books. <br /><br />Cheers<br />FerdiS<br /><br />FerdiShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008021146951839361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-22499930771276593852015-09-23T22:03:09.501-07:002015-09-23T22:03:09.501-07:00FerdiS, congrats on the anniversary and your folks...FerdiS, congrats on the anniversary and your folks Bdays! Wow, nice sounding trip. I took a cruise many moons ago wouldn't mind doing it again someday. <br /><br />Good solid buys, I picked up some O not long ago myself. I am in the $45 range there. Awesome on the forward dividends.

Inc...Hi PIP -- August was kind of crazy, I agree... Increasing dividends more than 50% year over year is something to smile about! <br /><br />Cruises are great and surprisingly affordable if you have flexibility. You can get great "last minute" deals because cruise operators hate having empty cabins... See vacations.com. <br /><br />We were very fortunate weather-wise, considering it was the last cruise of the season. Blue skies in Seattle and Ketchikan, overcast but no rain in Juneau, and overcast and less than 10 minutes of sprinkles in Skagway. I agree, though -- next time I'll go in summer when the weather is warmer!FerdiShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008021146951839361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-79651603583213205722015-09-23T06:11:00.339-07:002015-09-23T06:11:00.339-07:00Hi R2R -- thanks for commenting!

We had dinner with with friends in Juneau after seeing the Mendenhall Glacier. Their parents run a hotel in Denali, and I'd love to go there for an extended visit!<br /><br />I think I have more sells to be made in the last quarter! I'm working on upgrading my stock valuation system, so changes are coming!<br /><br />Take care<br />FerdiSFerdiShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008021146951839361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-7816174173440991762015-09-23T05:44:03.726-07:002015-09-23T05:44:03.726-07:00Looks like a pretty good month despite the markets...Looks like a pretty good month despite the markets going a bit crazy. Great job increasing your dividends with 50%+ year over year growth. I've never been on a cruise but hope to change that at some point in the future. They always seem fun. I also can't wait to visit Alaska, although my Texas blood will have to go there in July or August or whenever they have their warmer weather. Thanks for the update.Passive Income Pursuithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947101854482544346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-33177195064149918982015-09-23T05:22:04.670-07:002015-09-23T05:22:04.670-07:00Sounds like you had a great cruise, FerdiS.

I havent been on any cruises myself, but Ive been to Alaska, and it is one truly fantastic place...I just loved the snow covered mountains that we dont have here in the east.<br /><br />Looks like a solid month for you, FerdiS. Congrats on buying some quality companies and selling out the weak ones.<br /><br />Best wishes<br />R2RRoadmap2Retirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14379818667071736766noreply@blogger.com
