The ability of the savings account to generate hidden profit by preventing small emergencies from becoming large ones shouldn't be overlooked. Its just another example of how Money Management works outside the portfolio.

  1. On the investment tab above, your numbers do not match. YOC = Annual dividend rate/Average purchase price to buy the total shares.

    If you do this for Walmart YOC=1.48/57.64=2.57%

    This doesn't work for the other ones that have DRIPPED. I know for sure ERF is not the same. Maybe you could do a video of how exactly you get these numbers. For example, for the cell M6 I have "equals A2/B2" expressed a percentage.

    I am a numbers guy, so I sense I am missing somthing or your numbers or cell formulas are wrong somewhere.

    By the way, excellent blog and videos.

  2. Thanks for the compliment on the blog. Its appreciated.

    Short Answer: You are correct. My formulas are incorrect for Average Share Price.

    Long Answer: Originally I was using YOC for yield on my original purchase. To better show the effect of compounding DRIP shares. This has come up a couple times and caused more harm then good so I switched it to traditional Yield on cost. However I used the formula estimated dividends per year / total cost. I did this because I used that formula for the overall yield on cost of the entire portfolio. Then I copied it over to each position.
    It should give the same result as the estimated dividends per year / average share price.

    That is of course only true if one has their average share price formula correct which I did not. A left over from my yield on original cost formula.

  3. There. It should be fixed. I moved the original shares purchased column out of the cost basis section. It was out of place and using that instead of total shares for my average in price is what got me into trouble.
