Dividend Increase Affect On More Dividends

I am currently holding 27.98 shares of Realty Income in the More Dividends portfolio. With this 3.1% increase it will add an additional $1.67 to my projected annual dividend income and this doesn’t even take into account the compounding factor! This additional amount to my projected annual dividend income is one of my favorite numbers that I get to see. This is simply because I know as my PADI gets larger then my money is doing more of the work then I am! After all that is what FI is all about!

Conclusion

Realty Income is a great company. I have been holding these shares for several years now. I would love to be able to add to this position but it would take a huge drop before the share price reaches my cost basis. Trust me though, once it gets down around my cost basis I will definitely be a potential buyer.

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 Realty Income? 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!
