Dividend Increase Effect On More Dividends

I currently am holding 20.369 shares of Exxon Mobil. With this 6.5% increase it will only add $4.07 to my Projected Annual Dividend Income.



WOW! This dividend increase surprised me. I was expecting this increase to raise the dividend to $0.079 or $0.80 so I am extremely surprised to see the dividend increased to $0.82. Exxon Mobil is one of my largest holdings so this is a well received dividend increase. Unfortunately, since it is one of my largest holdings I have not been able to buy more while the price was below my cost basis. I am going to keep my eye on Exxon Mobil and look for more opportunities to add to this position.

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

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