More Dividends Update From November 2017


More Dividends - Dividends Income


Welcome back readers. November was a calm month for my portfolio and for life in general. I added a couple of shares to some of my smaller positions. I had a great month for dividend income. The nice thing about dividend investing is even when I get busy in life, my portfolio will continue to work for me. Even though there is not a lot of deals in the market lately, I will continue to add to my portfolio when opportunities arise.

So let’s take a look back and see how my portfolio has changed during the month of November.

Additions

There was no major additions to my portfolio during the month. I did however add a couple of shares to my positions in Hormel and Kroger. If no other opportunities come around I will continue to add to these positions. I think they are great companies but I only want to add shares if it is below my cost basis.

Dividends Received

November was a good month for me. I am seeing some nice growth during the second month of the quarter. This growth hasn’t been directly planned since I don’t care when my dividends are paid. I know that this may leave my dividend income a little lopsided but I am still in the accumulating stage at this point and time. Most of my dividends were reinvested. This will allow me to continue building my positions until I reach a point and decide to turn the drips off.

Apple (APPL) – $1.26 – Reinvested

General Mills (GIS) – $8.43 – Reinvested

Hormel (HRL) – $1.36

Omega Healthcare Investors (OHI) – $23.17 – Reinvested

STAG Industrial (STAG) – $1.29

WestRock (WRK) – $6.26 – Reinvested

November was the second month of Q4 and accounted for $41.77 of my 2017 Dividend Income.

So far my dividends received looks like this

Dividends Received By Year

Year over year, I saw a 145% increase in dividends earned during the month of November. The reinvested dividends helped out here but the additions were the real powerhouses. I added General Mills and a doubled up my position in Omega Healthcare Investors. Hopefully I can continue to produce this kind of year over year growth in the future.

Portfolio Allocation

With no big additions to my portfolio there isn’t going to be a big change in the allocation. Any changes are just caused by the movements of the market. One thing I did notice this month is that despite my large positions in the financial sectors, my allocations in those sectors are going down. This is only a result of me adding to positions in other sectors. Let’s take a look at what my current allocation looks like.

Current Portfolio
