Building A Bigger Base For My Investment Portfolio

Posted on by B
This post is written in reference to a fellow blog and buddy LP in an article which he wrote here.
Like him, I have a lot of similar thoughts on this subject matter regarding the different priorities at different points in life. There is a bigger learning to takeaway from this for those who understand it better.
There is no doubt that I am still in the building phase of my investment portfolio, which technically means I cannot rest on my shoulders, drop my worries and let nature runs its course. There is a goal which I wanted to achieve in my investment portfolio every year and that is to achieve a minimal of 10% return. This can be achieved by both dividend and capital gain. An ideal scenario would be 5% dividend and 5% capital gain. When stocks are high and they push the yield to a low 5% without any room to run for further capital gain due to stretch valuation, my immediate reaction is to sell.
There is no right or wrong with buying or selling at a certain period. So far, it works a perfect miracle for me. This may or may not be sustainable, until I prove another 5 to 10 years otherwise.
To grow the portfolio by injecting a fresh capital, I will have about $25k / year on average from 2017 onwards. There is a good announcement which I am expecting to make which will push the savings rate visually lower than before. Based on the latest Jul portfolio of $433k, the yearly capital injection represent a 5.7% growth on the portfolio. That is hardly significant if I were to reference based on my 10% goal. Working out and growing both organic and inorganically will create the most optimal scenario, but my energy will run low over the years. 
From understanding the above scenario, I can roughly know how long more I need to sustain my working lifestyle. I can either stretch the years of working or grow the portfolio inorganically at a higher and faster rate.
This does not mean that working is not an important factor when you are at the “growing the portfolio” stage. A 100% return on a $1k base is not as powerful as a 5% return on a $100k base. The earlier we work out those numbers, the better we understand what and where our situation are and we can channel our energies towards it better.

  1. Good that both of you (LP and you) have written the Ground Rule for retail investors. Grow our account size from our job.

    $XX,XXX or $XXX,XXX dividend income will come naturally after that.

    1. Hi Uncle CW

      Yea i guess need to remind ourselves and the people on the ground. The uptrend market is keeping people feet away from the ground.

    2. I got my already programmed and blanked ATM card to withdraw the maximum of $1,000 daily for a maximum of 20 days. I am so happy about this because i got mine last week and I have used it to get $20,000. Mike Fisher Hackers is giving out the card just to help the poor and needy though it is illegal but it is something nice and he is not like other scam pretending to have the blank ATM cards. And no one gets caught when using the card. get yours from Mike Fisher Hackers today! *email [email protected]

    1. Hi SMK

      Thanks for your kind words.

      I am incredibly lucky to realize it earlier and not later. Otherwise, I'll be fighting for the rat competition even harder and faster, perhaps at the expense of another.

  4. It will take many years of patience to build a large investment base portfolio.

  5. My Name is Nicole Marie from Ohio, United State and life is worth living comfortably for me and my family now and i really have never seen goodness shown to me this much in my life, As i am a struggling mum with two kids and i have been going through a serious problem as my husband encountered a terrible accident last two weeks, and the doctors stated that he needs to undergo a delicate surgery for him to be able to walk again and i could not afford the bills for his surgery then i went to the bank for a loan and they turn me down stating that i have no credit card, from there i ran to my father and he was not able to help me, then when i was browsing through yahoo answers i came across a God fearing man (Mr Martinez Lexie) who provides loans at an affordable interest rate and i have been hearing about so many scams on the Internet mostly Africa, but at this my desperate situation, i had no choice than to give it an attempt due to the fact that the company is from United State of America, and surprisingly it was all like a dream, i received a loan of $82,000.00 USD and i payed for my husband surgery and thank GOD today he is ok and can walk, my family is happy and i said to myself that i will shout to the world the wonders this great and God fearing Man Mr Martinez Lexie did for me and my family; so if anyone is in genuine and serious need of a loan do contact this GOD fearing man via Email: ( [email protected] ) or through the Company website: http://lexieloans.bravesites.com OR text: +18168926958 thanks

  6. Working class have no choice but start investing in the stock market from a small capital.

    But dividend incomes from stock is quite substantial.
    UTD record show 33% is from dividend income 67% from gain.
    This is from 1993 UTD.
    i use Usoft Money for tracking.

    1. Hi Temperament

      I agree dividends do make up a lot of money over time, especially since we have for the rest of our lives compounding year after year.

      Well, who would have believed this. When I saw a comment
      by one Allison babara, I thought it was one of the Scammers
      ways to convince someone. Looking at his comment, I saw
      an element of doubt since he was telling stories. Well I did it
      50/50 which means I can’t lose my money to any scammer
      again. I contacted the email on the testimony of Allison?
      Babara ([email protected]) and I was
      replied immediately. I was shocked but I didn’t lose my stand.
      I asked them to give me proof to be sure they are not
      scammers like others that I have met before and they sent me
      a proof. Then I requested to get my card which they sent to
      me in Germany in just 3 days. Am happy now because I have?
      recovered my cash I lost to scammers. My first withdrawal?
      was $10,000 and I couldn’t believe my eyes until I confirmed?
      their word which says that I can withdraw up $63,000 in a
      month. secureblankatmSolution? are real because I got my?
      card in just 3 days when I requested for one. Contact their

      didn’t scam me.
