Dividend Growth Investing for Financial Independence
What a ride it’s been. The dividend income came in nicely at $854.54. However, the markets turned fast and I had to close positions to cover margin requirements. This led to significant realized losses from options trading and a reduction of my Projected Annual Dividend Income (PADI). However, this was a good lesson and I will come back even stronger. My portfolio, sold positions and dividend income update in full detail here.
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.
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.
March is over and it’s time to review my dividend income. It has been a crazy month for me. Unfortunately, my exposure with options hit me hard and I had to take significant losses to close positions. At the same time, the dividend stream is still intact, even though slightly reduced.

Unless dividends are being cut, the passive income will flow into your pockets no matter what the stock prices do.
During the month of February I received $792.75 in dividends from 15 different companies.
We completed 2019 with full steam and some significant changes. I had been investigating to switch my portfolio over to another broker. The main reason is that with my current broker I cannot buy or sell options on american stocks. Since I move more and more to US stocks this has become a limitation which I believe limits my overall return.
