Almost at the same time (July 13th), the Hong Kong Disneyland announced its closure as more covid-19 cases surge and …

3 Years Ago, I Designed the Life I Always Wanted

Blog, Personal Update

On July 1st, 2017, I came back from a one-year RV adventure with my family that crossed North America and Central America. I then officially quit my job and started my new venture as an entrepreneur. I had very little money. I barely had a business at all. I did it anyway. Why? Because I wanted more from life and I wanted more life for my family.

What is a Dividend Trap?

Blog, Dividend Growth, Investing Strategy

A dividend trap will do two things in your portfolio. First, it will leave you with the impression of safety. The market goes crazy, it creates confusion, it goes up and down, and then you feel safe because you receive your dividend every month or every quarter. That dividend is a high yield and produce a lot of income from your capital. It feels good, right? You feel smart. But the second thing the dividend trap will do is to destroy that capital. Management at one point or another will …
