Aug 2024 - A Catch-up
Due to a busy personal schedule, I haven't been able to post my usual in-depth monthly updates. For the skipped months, I'll be sharing a brief summary of my stock performance and dividend income instead. Any entry tagged “A Catch-up” will appear in this limited format.
Note: This portfolio overview image below represents my portfolio as of July As these models update in real-time, I unfortunately do not have snapshots of the end of the rest of the months, due to being unable to do these updates in proper time.

Watch List
No changes to the Watch List this month.
My Watch List sorts stock by sector and notes are included for each one, describing my interest and reservations. The status indicates the likelihood of a position being added to my portfolio. ‘Watching’ means I just keep an eye on them, whereas ‘Top Pick’ means they are very likely to find their way into my portfolio at one point - ‘Under consideration' means somewhere in between, with notes offering some elaborating thoughts. Please note my Watch List is based on my own research and goals and is in no way a recommendation of what to buy.
