More Dividends Update from December 2018


More Dividends - Dividends Income


Hey there readers. It has been awhile since my last post. Since then I made it through the holidays and into the new year. Plus I did a bit of traveling up to Minnesota. As fun as all of this was, it is but a memory now because I am back home and back to the normal grind.

It is nice to know that while I am out there doing things in life my portfolio will continue to work for me. December saw the highest amount of dividend income that I have received in a single month. There were no real changes to the portfolio outside of the market fluctuations. So overall, I am still pleased with how things are. Let’s take a look at how my portfolio did during December.

Stock Additions

Unfortunately, because of travels I missed some good opportunities in the market. December saw no new stock additions.

Dividends Received

After reaching the $100 milestone in September, I was able to push that record dividend income amount a little bit higher during December. Let’s take a look at how it was able to do that.

**NEW RECORD MONTH**

Archer Daniel Midland (ADM) – $4.17 – Reinvested

Bank of America (BAC) – $10.49 – Reinvested

Emerson Electric (EMR) – $5.25 – Reinvested

December was the last month of Q4 and accounted for $101.61 of my 2018 Dividend Income.

In total during 2018, I earned $720.09 in dividend income!

So far my dividends received looks like this

Conclusion

Another month with no new purchases. While I haven’t rushed into a new purchase recently, I am definitely ready to purchase something soon. Now that the holidays are over it will be a perfect time to start researching again.

So during December, the portfolio mainly operated on auto pilot. I had a record month of dividend income. Every dollar reinvested only helps me reach FI even sooner.

As always I look forward to reading all of your comments and questions, until then….. happy investing!
