Dividend Increase Affect On More Dividends

I am currently holding 27.731 shares of Microsoft. With this 0.2% increase it will add an additional $0.17 to my projected annual dividend income and this doesn’t even take into account the compounding factor!

Conclusion

Realty Income is the only company that I have owned stock in twice. Although I regret selling my original position, I am glad that I was smart enough to buy back in.

I think that the company is a great company and I would love to add more when the share price gets back down to my cost basis. Currently, it is about $20 above my cost basis so it will take a significant pull back for it reach that point. Until that happens though I will continue to reinvest the dividends to keep growing the position.

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