October 2019 Buy and Sells
I sold most of the dividend paying stocks in my Robinhood account to focus more on trading options there. Since Fidelity dropped their stock trading commission fees last month, I can now buy more stocks there without paying a bunch of fees. Kudos to Robinhood for changing an entire industry and causing most brokers to drop all trading commissions. They are truly pioneers of the free stock trade movement.
The plan is to repurchase those dividend paying assets in Fidelity and continue adding more assets each month. While it’s disappointing to see my dividend income go backwards, I’m still doing better than my 1st month. Plus, most dividends are paid quarterly so certain months will be greater than others.
