You’ve probably seen some of those amazing spreadsheets experienced investors use to keep tabs on how their portfolios are performing. Interestingly, even if you’re not familiar with Google Sheets, it’s really easy to create your own. And if you don’t quite have the spare time, you can always use my dividend tracker.
I don’t enjoy using the same old “invest only what you can afford to lose” since that brands investing with the same brush as gambling. To me, investing in the stock market is not gambling, not unless you attempt to do active trading to make a buck in quick turnarounds. Still, you should only invest what you can afford to lock away in a vault.
2020 was … well, an interesting year to say the very least. It’s one for the history books that a large percentage of the human population would rather forget. Still, it’s important we all look to the future and try to make the most of 2021. I have a few goals in mind that I’d like to make a public record of and share with you all.
Penny stocks are considered by many investors to be the bargain basement of the stock market. These are the stocks that are ideally suited to those with not so much spare cash who simply wish to have a piece of the action. Sometimes they can be brilliant investments, but other times it’s a massive gamble.
Something incredible is currently underway between retail investors (the general public) and big money hedge funds over GameStop. Yes, that very same brick-and-mortar store that sells video games. While this current situation has the potential to redistribute considerable wealth, it has also showcased just how closed the stock market really is.
Converting currency is difficult, but this task is made more difficult with my dividend portfolio tracker spreadsheet, which appeared to be converting currencies twice. This didn’t have an impact on the main market tabs, only the main summary view for the charts.
Did you know you can earn some passive income with nothing but your gaming PC and some electricity? That’s exactly what I’m going to be running you through with this short guide. With the right GPU, you could earn up to £3 per day and that’s after taking into account electricity cost.
Growth and dividend stocks make up most of my portfolio, as is the case with many dividend-focused investors. Using my free dividend tracker, it’s easy to get your portfolio into good shape to weather financial storms and build your asset wealth with reliable passive income. But what about cryptocurrency? This phenomenon is still going strong to this day, which is why I set aside 2% for digital currency.
Becoming a safer investor isn’t rocket science. It also won’t require years of market experience and countless online courses. I’ve rounded up some helpful pointers that will not only make you a safer investor but are what I use on a daily basis when interacting with the markets.
Having the spreadsheet dividend tracker calculate just how much weight you have in each of your stock holdings is handy to better diversify your portfolio. This is how it’s supposed to work, but that depends solely on me getting the formulae working to make it all happen. Unfortunately, I broke the said formulae in a recent update to the UK template.
