The Intelligent Investor: Amazon has not been effective for me. I have minimized its use.

I’m considering adding the amazon referral program to my blog, has it worked well for you?

Bill: The PCP is actually included in my regular portfolio. I buy its shares along with my regular monthly purchases to save commissions. I just track it separately for illustration purposes.

I hold VYM, but have been very disappointed with its performance. It has underperformed my income stocks by more than 10 percentage points.

Best Wishes,

D4L,
Interesting how you track your income separately. Since that is a small amount of money that you are keeping on a separate account, why not invest on like a dividend generating ETF like VYM
