Glad to hear that someone else likes MSFT. It feels like such a stodgy old pick.Since today is the pay date, I think you’ll see it show up in your account history sometime this evening or even tomorrow morning with a transaction date of today. The history in my Schwab brokerage account (for example), where I can see dividend and interest payment activity, is date stamped but not time stamped. I’ve never gotten the impression it’s updating in real time like a bank account might. I assume it updates at end of day, like mutual fund prices, or over night.
One other thing, I would imagine instances where the div might get processed by the broker at end of day, in which case it might not update until overnight.
Also, I too like microsoft.
Trump not gonna fire J powell? Can he do that?What news hit at 11:15? That got more than a "meh" reaction.
I obviously need a recommendation for a good news feed
Thank you so much! Does it show up as cash, more shares of the stock, or something else?
I've collected a few over the years but been awhile since I paid close attention.
Thank you. Yeah, I have everything set up to reinvest.I believe it’ll show as two line items in your transaction history. If you’ve elected to reinvest the div and cap gain distribs, it’ll show up as a dividend and then a second line item as a reinvestment/purchase. If you’ve elected to receive as cash, it’ll show as a dividend and then a sweep to your settlement fund. The treatment of your dividend distributions is a check the box election when you open the account or the position. As far as I know, you can change the election any time for treatment going forward.
Thank you. Unsure why that caused such a spike but whateverTrump not gonna fire J powell? Can he do that?

The final answer to the question. This morning, in Vanguard the dividend showed up as more stock. It had been purchased at $27.90 and today's price is $28.11. Maybe it was bought at end of June which was final day to get onboard to receive dividend. In Fidelity, it showed up as cash so I must not have the reinvest option selected there.It happens
Are you guys currently adding new money into the market or holding out for a better buying opportunity? Not monies you have systematically invested from your paycheck - more like you had a bond mature, sold some real estate, inherited money, etc. Hard to find something right now that doesn’t seem overpriced?
Not sure I’d call Powell politically ally motivated. He’s been pretty consistent in his path forward in regards to cutting rates, and likely would’ve done so already if there wasn’t hesitancy with tariff impact.The FED is announcing next week (7/30). No change is the consensus. Is Powell going to signal there’s a cut coming in September?
I’m kind of tired of what sure looks like politically motivated decisions. Powell doesn’t act alone, but Jerome and Trump need to quit their nonsense. Powell’s gone in 10 months. Trump is being loud with his criticism so he’ll blame JP if the economy doesn’t take off well ahead of the mid-terms. How long does the FED wait and see about inflation. Some rate cuts sure would help the home building industry. We probably will see higher (labor) costs with the mass deportations. Lower mortgages would sure help off set that. The demand is there, the supply isn’t.

All things considered I feel like he’s handled the turmoil throughout his term pretty well.
Added more BRK B today.Are you guys currently adding new money into the market or holding out for a better buying opportunity?

So you're watching the S&P500.Biding time. Might sell something if there’s another move up.
Good companies have run up a lot. Maybe close to as high as they’ll go in 2025. When companies haven’t been going up it makes me wonder if there’s a problem.
There seems to be a lot of daily or week to week rotations, so maybe there will be some opportunities.
I keep digging. Taking a look at cyber security, cloud platforms, IT infrastructure. I got burned with the dot com bubble so I’m more conditioned to being somewhat cautious. Especially with AI - they won’t all be winners. Big tech is a safer approach. I might add to AMZN, AAPL, or ORCL. Start positions in MSFT. Not going to get into TSLA and META right now. NVDA is one of my largest holdings. Not going to add. Might sell some NVDA or PLTR covered calls.
