Portugal PM: Protective line of credit not needed as bailout oversight set to end
– canadianbusiness.com
LISBON, Portugal – Portugal will not seek a protective line of credit after its government fulfils requirements imposed by foreign bailout creditors as part of a 78 billion euro ($107 billion) rescue package, its prime minister said Sunday.
Pedro Passos Coelho’s government is due to regain financial sovereignty over the economy on May 17, after three years of being told what to do by the International Monetary Fund, European Commission and European Central Bank under a financial rescue.
“It is the right choice at the right time,” Passos Coelho said, adding that the Cabinet had taken the decision “after careful consideration and reviewing all the pros and cons.” A protective line of credit would have acted as a safety net for the economy, but would have come with strings attached.

There is more to my portfolio beyond these investments but this is a big part of it. You can check out my previous dividend income update here.
Last month, I wrote about my simple approach to dividend investing:
Last month, I wrote about my simple approach to dividend investing:
I only buy established companies that have a history of paying dividends.
I reinvest the dividends paid by these companies whenever possible to make my portfolio grow faster.
I buy ETFs for extra diversification.
I diversify my stock holdings across companies and sectors.
I now own about 30 Canadian dividend paying stocks.
My plan is simple but not foolproof because my behaviour gets in the way every few months. I’m fighting this behaviour by (to borrow a title from a recent MoneySense magazine article) training my investing brain…
