Dividend Harvesting Portfolio Week 236: $23,600 Allocated, $2,566.15 In Projected Dividends
The Dividend Harvesting Portfolio hit all-time highs, delivering a 33.5% return and $2,566 in forward annualized dividend income on a $23,600 investment. I expect the upcoming Fed rate cut to benefit my portfolio, especially high-yield positions like AGNC and new additions like QDTE for weekly income. My diversified approach—spanning equities, REITs, ETFs, CEFs, and BDCs—continues to drive robust income growth and mitigate downside risk.
