I can hardly wait

It is with excruciating patience that I await the end of the month. Most of our holdings have a payout date of June 30, which means we receive them in early July.

Even though it is June 27, we have received barely 20% of the month's estimated dividends.

It's been a long time since I felt such impatience, the last time I can remember that I felt this impatience was when I was a child waiting for Christmas.

Maybe it sounds like I am taking the high moral ground; I am not. The main reason for my impatience is not the money itself but the longing to see how the forecast stacks up against the outcome.
