    1. DE, Good job picking up PM, BP, and RDS.B at these levels. I am pretty confident these buys will turn out well for both of us when we look back in a few years!

      cheers, AA

  5. Great Q1 with lots of fresh capital added. Quite a few of your purchases made are stocks that are in my portfolio. Always nice to find other fellow shareholders in names you invest in. Keep up this awesome pace. Look forward to your next update.

  6. Very good results and nice income from dividends. Getting over $1k monthly dividend paycheck is really good income. I think if you stay this aggressive for a few more years you will be soon done with accumulating and start enjoying the results of your work.

  7. Accumulating,

    Great job, - $4K in dividends is phenomenal during a quarter, and quite the contributions you've made, amazing. I had about $1,249 in dividend income through my first 3 months, so about 1/3 of where you are. great job and loving the progress!

  9. Wow, 15000$ in dividends annualized! Can't wait to get there. I'm about to cross 1500$ per year in forward dividend income :) The strategy is great but one needs a lot of patience and dedication to build such a passive income stream. You must be proud of yourself.
    Thanks for sharing. It's inspiring!
