July 2019 Portfolio Summary

The July review is a bit late, not so much free time this month.
I'll post what happened as of 8/30/2019.

The S&P500 has pushed through the 3K barrier a few weeks ago. Recently stocks have retreated from the highs and are bouncing at some resistance levels below the 3K peak. The trade war with China has escalated, and this is creating uncertainties for many industries that rely on business in China or need goods supplied from China.

July 2019 Dividends Received

July has ended. And here are the results for dividend income collected. I collect these dividend payments like a landlord will collect his rent checks every month. And then I put the cash to work by reinvesting them in more shares. And the cycle continues. There's not much action or excitement or get rich tricks here, just a very repetitious and regimen-like, boring, but consistent, way of life. Kind of like watching paint dry.
