Dividend Increase Effect On More Dividends

I am currently holding 8.389 shares of Apple in the More Dividends portfolio. With this 7% increase it will add an additional $0.50 to my projected annual dividend income and this doesn’t even take into account the compounding factor!

Conclusion

Apple, I have been holding for many years. I wish I would have bought more back in 2016 but you live and you learn. I will continue to let the dividends compound until I can find a buying opportunity.

Regardless of how large or small, I love all dividend increases. That is how we end up with More Dividends 😉

Do you currently hold any stock in Apple? What do you think of this dividend increase? Just let me know in the comments.

As always I look forward to reading all of your comments and questions, until then….. happy investing!
