Dividend Increase Effect On More Dividends

I am currently holding 38.65 shares of Exxon Mobil in the More Dividends portfolio. With this 1.1% increase it will add an additional $1.54 to my projected annual dividend income and this doesn’t even take into account the compounding factor!

Conclusion

The price of oil has been moving up so I would have liked to see a larger increase from this energy giant but after not getting an increase last year, I am content with getting any kind of increase.

I have added to this position since the share price has been well below my cost basis. These days I am starting to wonder if maybe I should have initiated a new position in another energy company. It is definitely and idea worth doing some more research on.

For now, I will continue to hold this position and let the dividends continue to compound.

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 Exxon Mobil? 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!
