And Q4 begins.  2015 has been an interesting year for the stock market.  Most of us were begging for a correction, but now that a correction is upon us it’s tough to swallow.  I love that there are deals to be had, however, when I see my portfolio value dip I still get nervous.  On the flip side my dividends are continuing to increase.  At times like these I lean on my dividends to reassure me that I am on the wrong path.  This past month was a record month for me by way of dividends collected.  For the rest of 2015, my plan is to reduce my buys, but target specific deals in sectors where I don’t have much coverage.  I did not post an August update, so this post covers the past 60 days.  This month, I purchased $16,687 in shares of 9 companies.  I also sold $25,823 in shares of 10 companies.
