Hi partners — Max here!

I might say something that sounds a little strange — and might surprise a few people — but this was a great week 🙂

Yep. Seriously. Let’s walk through it.

First

PepsiCo, Hershey, Polaris Inc, Archer Daniels Midland, and Chevron all announced dividend increases. Five companies. About +$60 per year in extra income. Sounds small at first glance. But that’s a free lunch. And I’m happy to take it when businesses decide to hand it to me.

Even simpler example: today I bought my youngest son a bathrobe after his bath. It cost… about $60. So yeah — that robe was paid for today. Gifted by my companies. Perfect.

Second

While Amazon, Microsoft, PayPal, and plenty of others were getting hit hard (to be fair, a lot of excellent businesses cooled off this week — still great companies), my portfolio went up about $14,000 in value. That’s what I call sleep-well investing. Quiet. Calm. Confident. No drama.

Third

It’s February already — right? Which means January dividends. About $760 came in and immediately went back to work, buying more shares and more future income. That alone added another +$38 per year.

Which, honestly, might just cover the slippers to go with that bathrobe 😄

And of course — new stock purchases

New opportunities. New great deals. More income starting now and compounding for life. We’re getting close to $900 per month in dividend income. Do we cross it next week? 👀💪

Alright — let’s get to today’s buys. So grab a coffee — let’s dig in ☕💪
