September has always been one of the higher paying months, and this month was no exception. In fact, I set an all time record for me… $1226.75. This is a 66.7% increase from last September. My rent for the month was basically all paid by dividends! This was the second...
I just made a couple of purchases today. These are all dividend payers and ones that I’m adding to positions I already have. First is AT&T. I purchased an additional 100 shares of T at $37.1359/share. This adds $196 in annual dividend income. While this purchase does slightly increase my...
These months are going fast! August, while not usually one of the higher paying months, turned out pretty good this year thanks to excellent dividend payouts from Apple and AT&T. In total I received $448. This is a 60.6% increase from last August. So far I’ve received $4,125.14 in 2017,...
It’s been awhile since I provided an update on my latest dividend stock purchases. The market over the last month or so has continued to provide good entry points into several good companies. Here are my latest purchases from mid-July through the end of August: On 7/11/2017, I opened a...
Wow! It already more than half way through the 2017 year. Things have been going great. I started my new official job a little over one year ago. It is going great! I also met a great girl in the cities. Life is going well but is going by so...
July 2017 brought in $311.14 in dividend income. As shown on the graph below, this isn’t one of the higher paying months, but the year-over-year trend is still good — a 71.8% increase from last year. I’m also up to over $8000 in 12-month forward dividends. And, my dividend worker...
My latest two purchases are additional shares of two companies that I already own. On 5/30/2017, I purchased 200 shares of AT&T. While this slightly increases my cost basis, I feel that this is still a great entry point. AT&T is transitioning from being a slow growth telecom company functioning...
While I didn’t quite get another $1000 month, I came close. June 2017 brought in $984.55. This is a 57.5% increase from June 2016. My anticipated June 2018 income today is $1057.34 and that is even if I don’t add any further investments. Options: I collected $0 in options premium...
May 2017 continued the trend of year-over-year dividend increases for me. Secondary largely to added investments, my year-over-year dividend income increased by 52.7% to $632.02. My option income was also up a lot (from $0 last May to $142.98 this May). The dividend increase is mostly due to a huge...
My latest two buys are companies that I already own. Both GE and IBM are going through a bit of a rough patch right now with Buffett selling some of his position in IBM and GE getting downgraded by Deutsche Bank. In fact, if I would have waited to buy...
