I've made a switch to the dark side

I've recently acquired 6 investment positions, and I'm excited to see where this new journey takes me. My decision was a snap decision yesterday, but I had been thinking about the switch for a while.

I based my investment decisions on three key principles

1. Dividends - I wanted to invest in companies that offer consistent and attractive dividends, providing me with a steady income stream.

2. Franking Credits - I looked for companies that offer franking credits, which can increase my overall returns.

3. Capital Gains - I also considered the potential for capital growth, investing in companies with a strong track record of increasing their share price over time "that are currently under pressure or simply out of favour at the moment".

I'm happy that my investment portfolio is now a healthy mix of stability and growth, focusing on the long-term. I'm excited to see how these investments perform.
