it isn't often that i post actual screenshots of my portfolio, but i just had to share this from this morning. these are five of the biggest contributers to my annual passive income:

they are also the five highest gainers (price/sh) in my portfolio this morning. a lot of people thing that high-yielding stocks and etfs are dangerous, but so far these high yielders have not only paid big dividends they are holding or gaining value without reinvesting the income.

i want to make clear that where fidelity labels the column "total gain/loss", that does not include dividends unless you reinvest them. i use the passive income from these high-yielders to buy other, less volatile stocks and etfs like $VTI, $SCHD, $SPYM. these five holdings represent 28.29% of my portfolio, but they generate 60.17% of the dividend income in my portfolio.

Ok, I still love my democrat friends and family but, you see it your way and I see it my way. I'm not you and you're not me. You see Trump’s arrogance, I see Trump’s confidence. You see Trump’s nationalism, I see Trump’s patriotism. You hear Trump’s unsophisticated words, I hear Trump’s honesty. You see Trump’s racism, I see Trump’s words being misconstrued and twisted by the media daily to fit their narrative. You see Trump as a Republican, I see Trump as a Patriot. You see Trump as a dictator, I see Trump as a leader. You see Trump as an Authoritarian, I see Trump as the only one willing to fight for our freedoms. You see Trump as childish, I see Trump as a fighter, unwilling to cave in to the lies. You see Trump as an unpolished politician, I see Trump as a breath of fresh air. You think Trump hates immigrants, I know Trump is married to an immigrant. You see Trump putting an end to immigration in America, I see Trump welcoming immigrants to America LEGALLY. You see Trump’s cages at the border, I see Obama’s cages at the border. You see Trump with a struggling economy, I see Trump with an amazing economy until the Democrats shut it down. You see the violence in the streets and call it “Trump’s America”, I see the violence in the streets of Democratic run cities who have refused Trump’s help and call it “Leftist America.” You wanted someone more Presidential, I’m happy we HAVE someone who finally doesn’t just talk the talk but actually walks the walk. You and I? We see things very differently! GOD BLESS AMERICA! Please Repost if you agree. I agree 100%!!

i just read that the gender of loggerhead turtles is determined by the temperature of the beach where the eggs are incubated. i think this is extremely unfair and that loggerhead turtles should be able to identify as whatever gender they want to be.

okay, it has been a few weeks since i updated my $ULTY experiment: 7/23/25 - 1,000 shares purchased for $6,330.00 7/25/25 - paid $102.90 dividend 8/01/25 - paid $100.80 8/08/25 - paid $100.30 8/15/25 - paid $100.60 8/22/25 - paid $100.00 8/29/25 - paid $94.90 9/05/25 - paid $90.00 9/12/25 - paid $92.80 9/19/25 - paid $92.60 9/26/25 - paid $92.10 9/26/25 - total dividends collected = $967.00 9/26/25 - current value of shares = $5,430.00 Net gain = $67.00/6330 (1.0% gain) implied annual gain = 4.7% this is a bad investment. the share price keeps dropping, as does the amount of the dividends. i plan to sell all shares on Monday.

1 week before my daughter was born, I quit my $96k/yr job at Deloitte. Why? They didn't want me telling the truth about finance on Instagram. Here are 30 "industry secrets" no one talks about:

And here it is: THE CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY: Ann Ott Elementary School in Phoenix, Arizona—transformed into an Invasion Center. “I’LL PAY YOU GUYS.” — A facility worker caught on tape attempting to bribe @JamesOKeefeIII. Who’s running the show? A government-funded non-governmental organization (NGO): the International Rescue Committee (@RESCUEorg). Footage confirms: busing thousands of illegal aliens every hour, on the hour, to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, where they’re then distributed across the interior of the United States. According to their most recent Form 990 tax filing, the IRC reported $1.4 billion in gross revenue—with $415 million coming directly from the U.S. government, the American taxpayer (Schedule B). This is just in 2024. Illegal aliens admit they crossed the border illegally, as the IRC was given $415 million under the Biden-Harris trafficking administration to create the pretense of “refugee status” — and fly them out of Terminals 3 and 4. Tomas Robles (@TomasRobles14), an IRC staffer, labeled @OKeefeMedia “domestic terrorists” and reported them to police—for exposing treason. In other words: Not only did the Biden-Harris administration deliberately create the invasion under the guise of “refugee” — it extorted the American taxpayer to fund it. 📝 @JamesOKeefeIII is the news.
