Are you enjoying October yet? Markets rocket higher only to drop the next day. The Dow swinging by hundreds of points seemingly on a whim without any justification. The talking heads speak of all the market troubles on down days and are surprisingly positive and jubilant on up days. What gives? Personally, with what’s going on I feel very, “Eh”. Don’t care too much about these wild gyrations. As you know, I’ll keep doing more of the same which is buy quality dividend stocks and enjoy some extra high yield because of lower prices. As we all know by now, timing the market is impossible. Knowing the bottom is a game that cannot be won and, so, I take comfort in my dividends knowing that we’ll continue to drop or march higher but those dividends will still be rolling into my account. With that being said, let’s take a look at my second tranche of October buys.
