Dividend stocks portfolio – recent changes – January 2019

Intro..

For those of you new to this website, in this post, I discuss the recent changes I made in my dividend portfolios, and sometimes I discuss my portfolio diversification strategies as well.

My portfolios rebounded sharply from December’s selloff and added a few more percentage as well. The gains were pretty impressive after the sharp drop in December.

December sell-off gave me a unique opportunity to buy some high-quality dividend growth stocks at a discounted price.

I purchased a number of stocks using saving, dividends, and also using some debts. Almost all the new purchases increased in value in January.

Actually, I did not time the market. I buy stocks when they trade hands at a discounted price. I found a lot of opportunities in December. So, I decided to buy some.

Now, most of the stocks have regained value. So, I decided to be silent and started to reduce some debts (that I accumulated in December) using from my saving and some other income (blogging income, etc.).

At the same time, I continued buying income producing assets, aka dividend-paying stocks, using the dividends received in late December and January.

But, I slowed down on my asset purchase after the sharp rebound.

If markets stay high, then I will buy one or two purchases (around $500 value) every other week and focus more on debts reduction.

In this way, I can continue building my assets and at the same time sharpening my buying power by reducing debts.

Here are the changes I made in my dividend portfolios in January 2019:

This is a great way to deploy cash and invest for more cash-flow as soon as they come in.
