BP Stock: Still A Compelling Investment Proposition
BP is deeply undervalued versus US peers, with a wide valuation gap that I expect to close over this decade. The company's strategic reset, refocusing on oil and gas, positions it for significant cash flow growth. Cost reduction initiatives and portfolio rationalization should strengthen BP's balance sheet, despite recent challenges and activist pressure.

Dividend Harvesting Portfolio Week 222: $22,200 Allocated, $2,268.90 In Projected Dividends
The Dividend Harvesting Portfolio rebounded strongly, hitting a new record value and delivering a 25% return on invested capital with robust income growth. I continue to focus on diversification, risk mitigation, and recurring income, adding to NNN REIT, BP, and MSTY for their strong yields and income potential. Dividend income is up significantly year-over-year, and I expect to surpass $2,500 in forward annualized income by year-end, revising projections higher.
