Dividends Paid

When I was a kid I was fascinated with the stock market and had planned on becoming a stock broker or analyst. While still in college earning my Finance degree, the internet changed the way people bought, sold, and analyzed stocks. This realization, as well as an internship at a large brokerage, turned me off from my original career goals. Since then, finance and investing has become my hobby instead of my career. I've always enjoyed discussing investments and giving friends and family investing advice.
