$AVGO is down 2.5 times my cost basis pre market. Hopefully the ride hasn’t come to an end!

[BlueCollarEscape @CollarEscape]

@SCHDaccumulator $25 is how I started. Builds up quick !

[BlueCollarEscape @CollarEscape]

Added 4 more shares of $SCHD accidentally. Meant to buy $SGOV but fat thumbed it. Maybe it’s a sign?? 5004 doesn’t sound as nice as 5000. Or 6000…..

[BlueCollarEscape @CollarEscape]

@DividendGrowth @RampCapitalLLC Pretty much a bulletproof plan!

[BlueCollarEscape @CollarEscape]

@DividendGrowth @RampCapitalLLC Please don’t say that! Retiring in 5.5 years I’m hoping we have a bear market in that time frame while I’m still adding. A lost decade would not be a fun beginning of the “next chapter” . Dividends and 2-3 years living expense will be my defense once the Curtin comes down.

[BlueCollarEscape @CollarEscape]

@WheelieInvestor I can’t explain it but I am so glad I bought $GIS instead

[BlueCollarEscape @CollarEscape]

@SCHDaccumulator Both. Though some stocks I bought years ago for the dividend turned out to be my best growth stocks as well. Plus many have grown their dividend over the years as well. Lately shifted a touch more to growth to balance things out a little more.

[Brendan @brenbto]

$schd 3 trending stock on @Stocktwits

[BlueCollarEscape @CollarEscape]

Having a decent year so far. $SCHD has played a decent part of this move so far.

[BlueCollarEscape @CollarEscape]

@NotA_Bull $AAPL

[BlueCollarEscape @CollarEscape]

@DividendGrowth @GrayConnolly Agreed. This constant baby boomer bashing and complaining is beta mentality 101. Kind of validates a lot of the negative stereotypes tossed around about the newer generations.

[BlueCollarEscape @CollarEscape]

@OptimizedPort @SCHDaccumulator It would appear that your brand is anti $SCHD https://t.co/6khPt8kc6z seems yourefor total return.Ican agree with that but some people may want to use a hybrid approach to investing.Maybe holding $SCHD is good for some who can’t handle volatility.Its personal finance for a reason

[BlueCollarEscape @CollarEscape]

@OptimizedPort @SCHDaccumulator Oh ok. Seems like you have an interest in $SCHD posts so I was curious.

[BlueCollarEscape @CollarEscape]

@OptimizedPort @SCHDaccumulator So you aren’t a dividend growth investor?

[BlueCollarEscape @CollarEscape]

@jrouldz Ballz but it’s working! If you can handle the swings it’s obviously worked out fantastically!When did you start buying $AMZN ? I just opened a position a few weeks ago.

[BlueCollarEscape @CollarEscape]

@NotA_Bull $ABT $MSFT ?

[BlueCollarEscape @CollarEscape]

@tridentstrateg @FurtureRichKid I can barely do 1% at this point. Should I stop adding all together then?
