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
It’s time for another edition of monthly passive income review. May is usually my best month in terms of dividends due to some annual payers in my portfolio. This time though, I was worried that I will have the first down month compared to last year since I started this blog. That’s because one ofRead More
Another month has passed and what a month it has been! Our baby-girl started crawling, I opened my triathlon season with the first race and our little vacation started (it’s still ongoing as I write). While we were busy living life, our portfolio kept working silently in the background and delivered some passive income. Let’sRead More
I recently published a watchlist of a few companies that got my attention. It didn’t take long for me to initiate a position in one of them. I decided to go with an insurance company from Austria. It means that I now own a piece of a company from a new country and a newRead More
Once again, I accumulated some funds and am thinking how to best deploy it. It became a good practice to create a watchlist and post it in my blog, as I tend to give more consideration to the companies I am watching, as a result. I also can hear your opinions and some insights aboutRead More

However, I don’t want to make excuses, as I could definitely find some time if I omitted unproductiveRead More
With the markets going up and up, it is pretty hard to find companies that would look undervalued at the moment. Nevertheless, I am always on the lookout and am trying to continue our journey to financial independence. The only way I see for it to move forward is to save part of our incomeRead More
Another month has passed and just like that the winter is over. I already had an outside ride with my bike a few days ago to mark the beginning of spring. It’s still quite cold but the days are getting longer and brighter which is a good thing. Our baby-daughter is growing well, learning newRead More
It’s time to come back to the topic which was bugging me for some time now. My portfolio doesn’t have any company from the Utility sector. I did a quick overview of Utility companies in my local market (Nasdaq Baltic) last autumn but wasn’t convinced with any one of them. I decided to have aRead More
Hello and welcome to overview of the first month in 2019. End of January means that we only have one month of winter left. And the first two months of winter were not disappointing. I don’t remember when was the last time we had so much snow. I hope that we will have similar winterRead More
