writing2reality — Sat, 28 Feb 2015 17:15:28 +0000

End of the month and time for my purchase update for my Loyal3 dividend growth portfolio. As with every other update over the last 14 months, nary a dollar has been spent on commissions or fees. Over the course of the past year, there have been many changes with Loyal3, including the elimination of purchasing […]

As I’ve continued to adjust my investing style with the removal of credit card purchases at Loyal3, I’ve been able to find a methodology that works well and is something I’ll be sticking with moving forward. I’m planning on leveraging Loyal3 to the tune of $7-9,000 of new capital this year, which will allow this […]

December marked the first month of the new Loyal3, and the change in the value proposition that it offers investors. After the marketing hook of offering funding through credit cards was ended, many folks questioned the ongoing proposition of investing with Loyal3.

The almost default motto of dividend growth investors is a ‘Sleep Well At Night’ or SWAN portfolio. The concept behind this is simple, invest in companies or funds that allow one to sleep freely and easily, knowing your money is relatively safe from harm. This does not imply a lack of risk, but instead of […]

November, the month of change for those investing at Loyal3. The big news was of course the ending of the credit card option for funding purchases. While I comment in more detail at the post I just linked, at the end of the day I wasn’t surprised the program ended. Too expensive, and ultimately it […]

Hope you guys had a wonderful Thanksgiving! As you can tell, I enjoyed mine with some radio silence here on the blog.
