Dividend Articles - Since I broke down Nike Financial Article, I decided to break away Apple Dividends article from Apple Financial Analysis.

High Dividend Stocks - I wrote this article after I received my annual $50 dividend for being part of DFCU Credit Union. I was excited that I got a $50 dividend for just being a member of the credit union. Sadly, this year DFCU changed their dividend policy and required members to have at least $1000 in their bank in order to qualify for a dividend. Since, I maintain only the bare minimum at the bank, I am going to miss their annual dividend for the year.

Portfolio Management Class - It appears I have written numerous papers for Portfolio Management. Portfolio Management was one of the harder classes I had while doing my Finance major. I think I was even late when submitting my Portfolio Management Project. I remember writing the paper while the class was progressing and submitting the paper sometime during the half-time period of the class. Sadly, I haven't changed my ways, and still do things at the last time. Some of the articles I submitted for the Portfolio Management Class include, Final Portfolio Management Project, and Portfolio Management Exam.

2009 has been a good year for me, and I hope that 2010 is even better. In the entire year of 2009, I didn't invest or trade in stocks at all. I am hoping that 2010 will be a different year, and that I will get back into investing and trading in the Stock Market. Hopefully, things pan out well, and I am able to invest in the stock market.
