May 2018 was another great month and provided a substantial increase from last year. Last May brought in $632.02. This May brought in $941.62…almost another month reaching $1000. I’ll definitely hit that mark next year. Options: See my Options trading page for open trades. I have no premium income to...
Better late than never! There’s been a lot of developments in my life that have taken me away from being able to update the blog as regularly. Foremost, I got engaged a couple of weeks ago. I’m very excited to begin this next part of my life with a wonderful...
Here’s my November 2017 dividend income report. Better late then never. I have actually been away from the computer (and work) the last 12 days traveling with my girlfriend. As such I’ve been slow to update my blog, respond to comments, or comment on the blogs of others. I hope...

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...

While the blogging has slowed a bit, I’ve still been actively trading options and buying stocks. My portfolio has also continued to generate some awesome passive...
In total, I received $280.57 in dividends for November 2016. Last November I received $391.43, giving me my first rather substantial drop in year-over-year dividends. However, this also factors in the loss of dividend income from Kinder-Morgan, which I have sold, and the decreased dividend of KKR. Also, it doesn’t...
In total, I received $278.82 in dividends for August 2016. Due to dividend cuts from KKR and KMI, I actually dropped substantially this month (first time that has happened!). Last August I received $414.84. The loss of KMI cut out about $89 this month and KKR dropped it by another...
A reader of this blog by the name of Jeff recently wrote a great comment that I felt warranted its own post. Here’s his comment: Hi Scott, Great site !I stumbled across your blog in pursuit of dividend growth investing. Even though this post is from 2014, i’m still hoping...
Since I haven’t add much time to give updates as they happen, I’m going to include February’s transactions here. Despite not looking like it, I was actually quite busy this last month. As a reference, my dividend income at the start of the month was $5313. In my Roth IRA,...
