I was watching a portion of the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting this weekend and I thought I would share.
Warren Buffett doesn't try to time the stock market, although he does have entry points and price levels appropriate for individual shares. A majority of investors, however, do just the opposite, something that financial planners have always been warning them to avoid, and thus lose their hard-earned money in the process.

April 2018 Dividend Income
Hey everyone. It's past time for my April dividend update! In April I earned $533.96 which is a bit higher than normal because of some stock that slipped into April. Also in April I purchased another 43 shares of PPL and I actually just purchased another round this week. PPL shares have slid recently and even after a strong earnings report this week it suffered a bit (were seeing a lot of that in the markets). I think were close to a bottom here so I thought it was a good chance to average down a bit. I'm just about break even now for that position.
I made one purchase in April and had no sales.
