Methodology I Use to Build Outperforming Portfolios

Blog, Dividend Growth, Investing Strategy, Principles

When I started investing, I was young and reckless. I enjoyed the opportunity to start my investing journey at a relatively young age (23) and make my mistakes with smaller numbers. My first three years in the investing world was crowned by success. I rapidly built a $50,000 cash down payment to buy my first house. However, the risk I was taking and the lack of diligence in my investment methods finally hurt me in 2006-2007. Then, 2008 arrived and it wasn’t the time to change anything since …
