Beginning of a new month always brings some happy moments to me. I sit down to review what happened during the month and how much passive income my portfolio generated. October was another great month to me. I had a work-related conference in Utrecht and it was my first time in the Netherlands. Luckily, thereRead More
I thought I wouldn’t buy anything in October due to lack of free funds. Usually, I buy stock in chunks of at least $1k, to avoid paying high percentage of purchase in commissions. However, I decided to try the new Revolut trading feature which allows three monthly trades without paying any commissions. It means thatRead More
The first month of autumn is in the books. It was another great month, even though there was more rain and the weather got colder. Our baby-daughter took her first steps and it’s amazing to see. She is also able to mimic a dog and a crow which gave us more joy than we couldRead More
Last month I started a new thing and created 10 goals for myself for September. In this post I am going to review how it went and introduce new goals for October. September Goals Review Read a book at least 30 minutes every day. There were 20 days when I read at least 30 minutesRead More
I decided to sit down and assemble a watchlist of companies that look interesting to me at the moment. Even though I probably won’t be able to purchase any new stock in the upcoming month, it’s a good practice to keep looking and have some ideas when funds are available. This time, I came upRead More
Recently, I published a post with review of my portfolio from the Sectors perspective. I figured out that there is only one sector (Materials) which is not represented in my portfolio.

Just like that, summer is over. It’s time to get back to school and I can already see the effect around. My colleagues are complaining that the traffic is getting worse and they need to prepare kids for school/kindergarten. Luckily, our baby-daughter is still too young to go to kindergarten and I am walking toRead More
This is going to be just a short post about a new thing I decided to do. I was always fascinated with lists/plans/goals and it gives me joy to create them. For example, one of the most interesting things when preparing for triathlon is creating a training plan and trying to stick to it (althoughRead More
The market was pretty wild lately. It presented some nice opportunities but I didn’t have available funds, unfortunately. I could tap to an emergency fund I am slowly building but I think it’s not worth the risk. It’s better to stick to the plan and only invest money you saved for investing, not for emergencyRead More
Everybody knows that diversification is one of the key concepts when starting investing. You try not to put eggs in one basket if you don’t want to get burnt.
