Wisdom in knowing nothing. Dividend & long-term growth investor. 🕥

June was my biggest month for dividend income so far this year from $SCHD and $VYM. All reinvested, as always. $VOO paid out July 2nd, so that’ll be included in the next update. Can’t wait to break it all down in the upcoming portfolio update!

@themattharbaugh Me to! Really missed the community, and discussing with others. It’s hard for me to admit I reached a point of burnout, but I did. I’m committed to showing the journey, and I can’t picture myself not doing this. Appreciate you sticking around 🙏🏼

I’ve been gone for a bit, and just haven’t been as present on here. It’s easy to make excuses but life has really hit me in ways I never expected. But I’ve missed this, and I’ve missed making content. Got a new portfolio update dropping sometime this week. If you’re reading this, thank you for still being here. I don’t plan on quitting or disappearing. More to come.

@unusual_whales The man’s done this before, and right after the market pumped…

@8bitsteveo That yield on cost is tight… your investment hasn’t gone up or down. What’s your strategy here?

[mush @mushtea]

Maybe. Borrowers are less likely to hand out loans, which makes it hard for the average American to obtain a car. In turn putting pressure on dealerships/private parties to lower prices to better accustom borrowers. Time will tell if this will occur, but I have a feeling the rate will go down and car prices will remain where there at. We’ll see.

Down Again?! Portfolio Update (March + April)

Highly critical of myself, and feel I could’ve done better on this video. That’s how I always feel though. Enjoy! New videos on the way, thanks for watching!

Working on a March, and April portfolio update. Huge update, so expect it to be out later tonight or tomorrow.

When you dial out the noise, you’re not shaken by hourly headlines or article drops. 2025’s been flooded with market moving news, more than we’ve seen in years, and it’s made investors more anxious than ever. The solution? Dial out the noise. If you have conviction stick by it.

@unusual_whales China seems to be saving face, but the rhetoric that they aren’t negotiating is done. China is clearly in talks, whether they want to admit it or not.

Been off here the past couple weeks…working 6 days a week and life’s just been nonstop. Haven’t had time to post, but I’ll probably have the March portfolio update out next week, or just combine March + April into one. Appreciate anyone still watching. I’ve still been investing, just quiet lately.

Market crashes is where wealth is lost and created. My outlook is longterm and nothing will shake that. I’m buying still, and will continue to buy. $VOO $VYM

-$480 on market open, let’s get the day started shall we? $VOO

@RampCapitalLLC Overtime pay is what makes 40+ hours worth it for me. I honestly can’t imagine working less than that, it just wouldn’t be enough.

[mush @mushtea]

Couldn’t get the VYM deep dive done. Been working 6 days this week and dealing with a lot. I hate that I said I’d have it out and didn’t. I’ll be able to work on it in April. I’ll still have a portfolio update out next week or the week after that at the latest.

Pretty sure they’re betting on $BTC to bail them out. Looked into it, those notes expire in 2030. That gives them 5 years to pay off a $1.3B loan at 0% interest. But even with that, it’s hard to see how they grow or innovate. Money only goes so far for a company fading every year.

@Joe_Biscardi @unusual_whales Every time money gets printed, it almost always ends up in equities or bonds. While the dollar loses value, your investments tend to keep up with inflation. Historically even beating it. The status quo is constantly changing.

[mush @mushtea]

@unusual_whales Fully agree. But most people don’t even understand what they’re investing in, or how much they’re putting in per paycheck. Both of which define your retirement outcome, based on contributions and investment returns.
