Below you will see each DRIP Recommendation listed by: date picked,
picked price, current price, and the hypothetical gain/loss on each
recommendation. Each week, I will update these numbers so we can get
a clear picture of our progress (if any).
***EDITOR'S NOTE***
All apologies on the delay of this information - we have been having
technology difficulties but it appears that we are back on track.
Look for the next Drip of the Week article to come on Tuesday, June
29th. I am also going to try my best to post another Drip of the
Week article on Thursday, July 1st, since there will be no new articles
on Friday or over the holdiday weekend. The next edition of the
Drip Portfolio will be posted on Tuesday, July 5th, as I will
be spending the holiday with relatives.
