Dividend Harvesting Portfolio Week 232: $23,200 Allocated, $2,467.76 In Projected Dividends
The Dividend Harvesting Portfolio rebounded strongly, with profitability up 8.06% and total dividend income now at 19.77% of invested capital. I remain bullish on the S&P 500 reaching 7,000 this year, driven by strong corporate earnings, AI productivity, and a likely lower rate environment. Recent additions to the portfolio—BMY, SLB, and AGNC—reflect my focus on undervalued, high-yield opportunities poised to benefit from rate cuts.
