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. I was always trying to keep my portfolio diversified by looking at different companies. But I actually never had a clear overview in that perspective. Therefore,Read More
Another month flew by and we are already on the last month of summer. Weather during July was not as hot as in June but I am not complaining. It felt like a relief after all the heat in the beginning of summer. Weather was still nice during several weekends and we had a coupleRead More
It was bugging me that I don’t own anything from the Utilities sector for a while now. I kept adding companies from this sector to my watchlists but never initiated a position.

With half of the year gone, I figured it’s a good time to have a look at the goals I set to myself back in January. I had 10 goals in total, divided to three different categories. Let’s go through each of them and see where I am standing in the mid-year point. Financial GoalsRead More
After a miserable May, June was a terrific month for markets. The same goes for my portfolio. It had probably the best month and gained ~€1100 (or ~8%) in a single month. Of course, the value of portfolio is not that important. The focus is constant stream of dividends. On the contrary, such market upswingsRead More
Summer is in full swing and June was another great month. Our baby-girl is growing well. It seems that she is changing and learning new things everyday. She even has 4 teeth already! We also had a short 4-day getaway to the seaside this month. It was great to spend some time with old friendsRead More
May was pretty bad for markets. The prices kept decreasing and my portfolio value shrank by ~€800 (~5%) in a single month. However, it presented some opportunities, as I am still in the early accumulation phase of the portfolio. I took the opportunity and initiated a new position. This time, it is a dividend kingRead More
