Dividend Increase Affect On More Dividends

I am currently holding 11 shares of STAG Industrial in the More Dividends portfolio. With this 0.7% increase it will add an additional $0.11 to my projected annual dividend income and this doesn’t even take into account the compounding factor!

Conclusion

STAG Industrial represents one of my smaller positions that I am holding. I started building this position when I first started using the RobinHood app. At the time I was just going to slowly build the position but then the share price rose quite a bit above my cost basis. So I pulled back on buying more.

Unfortunately, the share price just kept going up so I have been sitting with this small position for a couple of years now. Several times I have considered selling the shares to reinvest the money elsewhere but then I always remember that 2 of my biggest investing regrets were both when I sold stock.

Needless to say I am still holding onto the shares but would love to find an opportunity to build onto this position because it is one of the two positions that I have that pay a monthly dividend.

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 STAG Industrial? 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!
