I received over $600 dividend income from 29 different companies in October 2016.
The income is bit lower than I anticipated due to the sale of few stocks in the past.

We are almost at the end of the year, so I am pretty busy in cleaning up my dividend portfolios to minimize the investment risks.
I sold few stocks and ETFs and bought some dividend growers.
I took some profits, and for tax purpose sold some losers and risky investments.
Some ETFs I bought at the beginning of my investment journey for diversification purpose, now they were overlapping my dividend stocks. I sold most of them.
I will post the changes in my next portfolio updates.
Also, I am very busy in reading book titled “The Single Best Investment – creating wealth with Dividend Growth“, by Lowell Miller.
It is another best book for dividend investors that gives you confident in your dividend growth journey.
Every time when I read a book I learn something new and get full experience of the author. I am in the middle of the book now, but already learnt a lot from it.
I love reading books and learning about money and wealth building techniques.
Good books are the best investment for the money pay for them. Books give all sorts of ideas, confident in your field and full experience of the author for a tiny amount of money.
By reading a book, you could avoid costly financial mistakes for fraction of its cost.
My favourite place to shop for book is Amazon. We can read honest reviews from real people before purchase them.
So, why not buy a book for your holiday gift and feed your mind with wealth knowledge – invest in your knowledge.
