Dividends Now Part of Building Wealth

With our purchase of shares of Hannon Armstrong (link here), the fund has started the second stream of income for the fund. The plan is to reinvest portions of the dividends that have not been kept back for taxes, charity and investors. 

Just as a quick review, the three main pillars of the fund's ability to build wealth is stock appreciation, dividends, and selling call options. We are still not prepared to start the call selling portion just yet.

Virgin Galactic Equity Stake Started

The fund has purchased shares of Virgin Galactic. Shares were purchased for $16.95. The fund will likely be holding this stock well into the future while also understanding that this is a new company in a new industry.

This company is one that we believe will improve life, stretch the capacity of the human existence, and benefit financially for taking the risk to do so. The company's mission can be found on their website by clicking here.  The reason why the mission is not simply posted is that you need to experience the website. There is a lot to learn and be inspired. The management is solid with Chamath Palihapitiya as CEO. Finances are good. Orders are on the upswing.
