More Dividends - Dividends Income


The first month of the quarter has really picked up some steam! It has taken off so much that it is projected to almost surpass the 2 month during next quarter. Only time will tell if it is able to produce a higher amount of dividend income.

The month of January proved to be a very busy month for me. I was able to put in some extra hours at work which only added to my savings rate for the month.

There are also several new additions coming to More Dividends in the near future. I am very excited to start rolling out some of them so that I can start getting some feedback from you the readers.

During January, we saw a little bit of everything. Let’s take a look at what has happened in the More Dividends portfolio since last month.

During the month of January, there were a lot of additions to the More Dividends Portfolio. I was able to strengthen some of my existing positions like with Cardinal Health.

When we look at the break down of the companies that paid me dividends we can really see where the large increase came from. The culprit is definitely the increase in the Altria Group position.

Portfolio Allocation

With the new position in JP Morgan Chase, it increased my stake in the financials by 3%. I am totally comfortable with this increase in the financial sector. I would actually still be ok if it went as high as 15%. Only time will tell if it grows to see those kind of numbers.
