More Dividends Update From September 2017

Welcome back readers. I hope that everyone had a very pleasant month of September. During the month, I was preparing to make a purchase but before I pulled the trigger, the stock that I was watching started a big rally. So despite me still really liking the company, I just don’t like the price that I would have to pay now. With this being said, unfortunately I did not make any new purchases during the month of September. I did however have a new record breaking month for me which I am thrilled about.

Yesterday when I went on the More Dividends Facebook page, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that my blog had been listed as a Top 100 Dividend blog which was great news. There are a lot of great blogs listed so I was very happy with being listed as #44. In celebration of this achievement I have decided to put a badge for this award at the bottom of the page.

Thank you to everyone who is on this journey with me! Now let’s check out how we did during the month of September.

Additions

During September, despite having a lot of interest there were no purchases made during the month. Hopefully I will be able to find some good opportunities during the coming month.

Dividends Received By Year

All my stocks paid out more this year except for MSFT because of having sold off a partial share during a transfer. Plus I own a few more companies this year than I did last year.

Portfolio Allocation

With no new additions there isn’t much movement in the allocation of my capital. Lets take a look at the breakdown.

Current Portfolio

With nothing but reinvested dividends affecting the portfolio there hasn’t been a big change. I am still very happy with the current positions that I hold and am hoping to maybe find some new opportunities soon.

Conclusion

Now hasn’t that been a great month. The lack of current contributions is not holding back my portfolio. I am still currently seeing some great year over year growth. Hopefully some new investing opportunities will present themselves soon. Until then I will continue to let my dividends reinvest and continue to grow my portfolio.
