Home Run Number 1
With total returns exceeding my initial investment, DFS is the first home run stock in my Dividend Growth Journey portfolio.
Dividend Income December 2020
We close the year with a record monthly dividend income of just north of $800, marked a new high on the PADI hitting the $7,000 mark and further increased the dividend safety score. There are so many positives and the quality of my monthly reports have improved with so much more details.
Dividend Income November 2020
My dividend growth journey goes on. I received $534.34 in dividends, my PADI increased to $6,940 and my dividend safety score went up to 61.4 points. I only did make one purchase but not to increase my dividend income but to run an options income play.
Dividend Income October 2020
The Dividend Growth Journey continues: $521.74 of dividend income, a nasty 50% dividend cut from ET, purchases of 6 companies adding $367 to my PADI., and the Dividend Safety Score improved to 61.3. Read more for all the details.
Dividend Update September 2020
The September dividend income is in the books and it has been a busy month. A total of 24 companies paid me and I received $495.71 in dividends. Even though my income is just short of $500 this month, I am celebrating hitting a new record. My 3-months average dividend income has hit $500. I am over the moon.
I deployed more than $16,000 with an average dividend yield of 4.16%. My Dividend Safety Score has increased to 59.6 and my PADI stands now at $6,644.
Dividend Income August 2020
Yet another month has gone by and it is time to review my dividend income. August is month in which I receive dividends from fewer companies while at the same time a large proportion of my passive income is concentrated in just a few of them. Last month was special as I hit the $500 mark, August was not bad either. I received exactly $469.41 in dividends.
Additionally, I took a deep dive into the dividend safety of my portfolio. I will keep tracking this forward as part of ensuring the long-term plan of adding only high quality dividend stocks to my portfolio.
Dividend Income July 2020
Another month has gone by and it is time to review my dividend income. This month has been special as I hit a new target by surpassing the $500 mark. What a great feeling! I received exactly $542.09 in dividends.
Dividend Income June 2020
We are at the half-year point and June has been a good month. The dividends come rolling in.
More than $400 in dividends from more companies than ever before and a new high on my PADI. I love these monthly reviews.
Dividend Income May 2020
Another month has gone by and the dividends come rolling in. What a great feeling. Dividend income is truly passive income. That is what I love about dividend growth investing. You harvest your gains bit by bit one at a time and just reinvest. The constant flow of income combined with a little bit of tracking makes you stay on top of the game.
Dividend Income April 2020
Dividends, dividends, dividends… In times like this with a huge uncertainty about the evolution of the coronavirus and its impact on the economy and rising unemployment rates to level never seen before, it is a save heaven. Safe? Well, not as safe as in recent history.
At the same time, there is always an opportunity to pick up some really undervalued stocks – find out which one made it this month with a Yield on Cost of 37%.
