Listing out the goals of the Investing account, Phase 1

If I am going to manage a dividend growth investing account for 15+ years I need to set out my goals...

EDIT: At the time this blog entry was posted I had a Youtube video here. That has been removed but I want the rest of my content to be remain. Nothing hidden no past mistakes ignored. All out in the open.

In the video I mention that getting paid weekly was important for the dividend investing account. I want to talk a bit more about that. When selecting stock and ETFs it was the last thing on the list of important things I needed. Safety, stability, a good yield, strong potential for future growth and the other topics I discuss in my other videos take priority. ERF was the final piece of getting paid in week 3 of each month. But if I didnt feel that it was a good income source with stability and everything else I look for in an investment? I wouldn't have picked it up. To be honest, I got lucky that it pays during week 3.

I'm pretty pleased with how Phase 1 of the Investing account turned out. I do not have TLT yet but its just a matter of being patient and controlling emotions in buying when it's the right time. The move to Sharebuilder in the long run maybe a good thing as now I can DRIP and let compounding take over.
