I ...Hi, DiviRider -- thank you for your kind words. I enjoy writing about and sharing my results. Doing so helps me to clarify my thoughts and also helps me to identify possible actions to take. I'm happy that readers find these reports useful, too.<br /><br />If I were 10 years younger, I would have *added* to my NVDA position rather than close it out. But I need to start moving my portfolio more towards one that generates income and safely does so. Having too many (very) low-yielding stocks in my portfolio is not something I can accommodate anymore. So I decided to close out NVDA (and also NIKE) for that reason. <br /><br />I still own V and ROST that yield less than 1%, and 9 more stocks yielding less than 2%. These are stocks with strong growth prospects and strong DGRs -- and I'll probably hang on as long as these stocks continue to increase their dividends at double-digit percentage increases. <br /><br />NVDA sold off because the cryptocurrency bubble burst. It will take some time to recover, but I think NVDA eventually will. The stock price was inflated because of lofty expectations, and those expectations now have been "truthed-up" a bit. And the P/E ratio is more realistic now, for sure. So I think your buy is a good long-term investment.FerdiS, DivGrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330193431527796718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-78447306495431294202019-01-13T07:27:27.386-08:002019-01-13T07:27:27.386-08:00If only, Torsten, if only!

Both you...Hi Ferdis, congrats to your achievements! Both your total dividends and growth rate for last year are insane. I love reading your very detailed reports and reasoning. You really take your time doing these very carefully.<br /><br />Interesting to read, you've sold NVDA because I've opened a small position in December. My reasoning is, that they provide an opportunity for participating on the oncoming autonomous driving/deep learning trend and pay a (small) dividend. I'm in my thirties and I'll hope to see some growth to the dividend after maybe two decades.<br />Are there any other reasoning for your sell other than the minimal yield and recent price action?<br /><br />All the best in 2019!DivRiderhttp://divrider.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-5810848342594198952019-01-10T07:19:33.371-08:002019-01-10T07:19:33.371-08:00Hi, Buy, Hold Long!

If I achieve my 2017 goal, I'll end at $2,250 -- which would be really nice! Hard work ahead, though!<br /><br />Take care and happy investing!FerdiS, DivGrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330193431527796718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-32690367088863176532019-01-10T00:31:56.049-08:002019-01-10T00:31:56.049-08:00Wow, it won't be long at all and you will crac...Wow, it won't be long at all and you will crack the 2k a month on average.
