Week in Review

The trading week is over so let's take a look back at the past week and see how things went for my Robinhood portfolio.

Let's start out by taking a look at the transactions that I made for the week.  I did sell a couple of items to do a little re-balancing within my portfolio.  Overall I added another $410 to my investment account this week.  While this is not going to be typical I have been trying to buy as much as I can while the market has been down.

So how did my portfolio fair this week, as you can see below I was up 2.05% for the week and it was kind of up and down all week.  Overall my Robinhood portfolio is up 42.16% or $510.08 in value.

So I've been doing a lot of buy lately to start trying to generate passive income through dividend payments and because of that it will probably be a little while before I can start reporting weekly dividend payments.

If you are looking to get started investing below are a couple of brokerage options you might want to consider.

Robinhood offers commission free trades and will give you a free stock valued at between $2 and $250 just for signing up.  You can also earn more free stocks when you refer other users.  Robinhood offers basic research capabilities and is working to bring fractional share purchasing to users in the near future.  This is a really good application for beginners with it's simple UI and ease of use.

Building a stock portfolio tracking spreadsheet

Image
Today I want to take a look at building out a spreadsheet that I can use to track all my investments in one place.  I have multiple accounts and going from site to site to check my investments sucks, so I want to track everything on a single spreadsheet.  Originally I was going to go with Microsoft excel for my spreadsheet of choice, but finally decided to the use Google Sheets mostly due to portability and cost. Let's just right in and start by going to google sheets and creating a new blank spreadsheet. Google sheets has some built in functionality that will allow you to pull in financial data, but lets start by setting up columns headers. This is the basic list of information that I want to track to start off with, but there is still information that related to dividends that will be a little more tricky and will require access to data that can't be easily pulled within Google sheets. Now I will breakdown each column and talk about how to set up them u...

Getting started!!!

First off, let me welcome you to my blog.  I'll go ahead and start out by letting you know what I am looking to accomplish with my investment goals.  I am looking to generate passive income from the stocks that I invest in. So what is passive income?  Passive income is income that is earned with no really effort.  How do you achieve passive income through investing?  Passive income can be achieved by purchasing stocks that pay dividends on monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis.  By buying dividend stocks you are being paid buy the company for owning the stock. Building a passive income takes time to achieve unless you have a lot of cash laying round to get started.  For me this is not the case, so I will need to build up my investing portfolio a little bit at a time, while also taking the dividends that I do receive and reinvesting them to buy more stocks. So how does this work?  Let's take a look at an example.  Say I purcha...

Hip Hip Hooray Fractional Shares Now Enabled in Robinhood

Image
Back in December Robinhood announced that they were introducing Fractional Shares and launching the feature as an early access shortly after making the announcement.  They also claimed that it would roll out to all users early in 2020.  So I added my name to the wait list and patiently waited for my turn to get access to the feature. Well today was finally the day that Robinhood turned on the feature for my account and I couldn't be happier.  You might be asking why I was so excited to get this feature.  There are a couple of reasons that I wanted this feature, so lets take a look at those reasons. More options and Flexibility: How do fractional shares give you more options you might ask?  If you are like me you don't have larges amounts of cash laying around that you can drop into an investment account to get started.  For me I am currently depositing about $100 a month into my Robinhood account until I am able to wipe out my debt.  So if I wanted to ...
