  3. Hi DH!
    Thanks for your blog, very interesting to read and inspiring! One question: do you keep cash on the sidelines, waiting for a market turndown, or are you more or less fully invested all the time?

    1. Hi

      I have a little bit of cash in reserve for my portfolio, in most cases too less. But I keep also a certain amount of cash in reserve for "bad days" in every day life.

      Thanks for stopping by!

  4. DH,

    Great round-up. I was glad to read some stuff in here that also pushes my dividend journey further. Guess we've both got it going for us!

    Keep on leading the European pack,
