This will be my first post and I just want to share some of my goals for this year.

I want to aggressively grow my portfolio this year to a point where my yearly dividend income will be $2000.  I’m building a cash account to use as my “dry powder.”  I will be watching a lot of dividend payers with long histories of increasing dividends.  This list will typically be from the Champions, Contenders and Challengers list made courtesy of David Fish.  The website is located here.

I will be posting any new additions or sells that I make and some reasoning.  I currently use an options account for selling puts against some companies I’d like at a cheaper price.  If any of these get assigned I will mention them also.
