This Week's Stock Purchases

I did not buy any stocks this past week.

At this point in time, I have 47 stocks. 46 of those stocks pay dividends, and the other stock is AMD (I bought it because it is considered a "meme" stock, and I think the conversation around AMD is fun to follow).

I am able to buy so many different stocks due to not paying commission fees, thanks to the trading app called Robinhood. If you want to learn more about Robinhood, click here.
