It’s great to see the why behind the decisions in a DIY portfolio. We’re putting all the spare funds aside in order to buy a house, but after that’s done I’ll be getting back to investing spare monies. Were we not in the house acquisition phase, I would have bought some Chorus bonds when they were offered. I agree with buying shares in index funds as well as some riskier ones with better payout, but for now that’s all theoretical while we focus on the house.

After we get it though, I won’t be in a rush to pay off the mortgage as long as investments grow faster than debt.

Your reasons for why you’ve chosen certain companies gives me a greater understanding for the pros and cons of each. And why it’s important to ‘diversify’, having stable stocks and riskier shares (and the reasons for having both).

I also went back to your older investment posts to see the first one where you started giving a summary at the end.
In August, you were at $12,841.18. Only three months later and you’re at $15,606.48!
That’s better than mine are doing… haha!

Looking forward to the snowball post.
