August

๐Ÿ’ญ My Thoughts ๐Ÿ’ญ

Tech CEOs testify, Epic Games sues Apple (for some reason...), Coronavirus cases world wide are still nonstop but in the US things seem to be slowing down, the stock market is not at all reflecting the overall economy and that makes me a little worried. I wont lie, to me it just seems wrong. But anyways, the portfolio is doing great! August was filled with nothing but gains. The dividends that came in this month weren't as much as July and June in total amount but I'm happy that it was able to once again achieve a full dollar dividend. No new high score this time around but congrats to AT&T (T) with $1.01 worth of dividends for making it to the dollar mark. It was very brief this was also the month that the portfolio managed to cross over the 3K USD mark. Overall, very good month for the portfolio.
