  2. Stay focused and you'll keep turning in great results. Over $140 is great and that cumulative dividend total chart keeps climbing higher. Automatic reinvestment can really help to spur your portfolio forward and keep growing your dividends. All the best.

  3. Your income appears to be building up quickly. Even doing nothing with a DGI portfolio can see a 7 to 10 percent growth year over year in most years.

  4. We all love seeing the progress of every dividend investor and your results and chart tell the whole story. Just a handful of name sin common paying us in March but just goes to show the variety of dividend payers that exist. Keep it up and look forward to your next update.

    1. Thanks DivHut! There are a lot of great names out there for sure. My goal is to get closer to 50 companies (currently I am near 30) to properly diversify. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

  5. Nice portfolio with almost 30 stocks. However I am surprised portfolio value is similar to cost basis. Well KMI was a headache for many investors and I hope dividends are working anyway :)

    1. Well I started in May of 2015, and if you look at the S&P from May to now, it is about even. My portfolio has a return of about 7% if you include the dividends over the past year so overall not so bad. I am ok with that. Thanks for stopping by to comment!
