Dividend Harvesting Portfolio Week 214: $21,400 Allocated, $2,152.32 In Projected Dividends
Liberation Day saw markets plummet due to reciprocal tariffs, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq falling by approximately 7.9%, erasing last year's gains. Despite the market's knee-jerk reaction, I believe there isn't enough data to support the rapid descent in equities and remain optimistic. The Dividend Harvesting Portfolio experienced its largest weekly loss but continues to generate significant dividend income, reinforcing my confidence in its long-term strategy.
