Walk to Work
Since I live pretty close to where I work, I decided to walk to work instead of taking public transportation. It takes me about 20 minutes to walk to work, but I think it’s a good exercise. I work in the office and I sit for long hours, so walking for 20 minutes twice a [...]
Dividend Stocks
I’m starting to like dividend stocks more, because they pay a nice stream of income and their prices are more steady. This bad market makes me realize dividend-paying stocks are very important. I’m still holding PFE, and I enjoy receiving dividends from them when my portfolio was down. Other good dividend-paying stocks include Altria Group [...]

Disappointing Market Peformance
The market has been performing poorly this past several month. My portfolio is down a great chunk. It would have been better if those money were sitting in a high-yield savings account. I’m thinking of going more towards cash if the market continues to decline.
What’s your view on the market’s performance over [...]
