Details are below for income I received in April, but in summary, I received $81.79 from different companies! This is not shattering, but I think its largely due to a couple of my companies paying out last month as opposed to this month. Either way, its still passive income that I am grateful for! Feels like I just made the post for March a couple of weeks ago. Oh wait, I did! I thought I would get on it this month so I wasn't late to the party.
My current Cash holdings in my accounts are just above $7,000 which is about 15% of my portfolio at this point. I honestly haven't done enough research to determine if there are things worth buying, but as summer approaches, I suspect the market will move sideways. I hope by the Fall of this year we will see which direction the market wants to continue but as we all know, no one can predict the market!
Look for my Amazon FBA post coming soon!
My new projected annual dividends are now at $1,646.81

Nice chart of cumulative dividends paid. Up and up. Your month was like mine.
ReplyDeleteThanks much! Very similar months we had. Nice Job! Lets keep building it up!
DeleteNot shattering... but passive income in any amount is always good to receive. As long as you keep building on your base long term you'll be just fine. You hold a nice chunk of cash too? Nothing looks good these days? Many solid dividend stocks have been faltering as of late. Look at GIS, GWW, BMS, QCOM too. CAH is still low after its drop and VFC continues to look weak. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Keith! Thanks for the names. I will take a look for sure. I have had my eye on VFC and QCOM for a while, so maybe its time. I do love holding cash right now though. We will see. Stay tuned. ;) Thanks as always for the support!
DeleteThe best part about being a dividend growth investor is that the monthly results don't have to be earth shattering - they just have to be consistent. Looks like you got that down. I also have a bunch in cash right now, though I am working hard to get it invested.
ReplyDeleteKeith gave some great suggestions - I own all of those except BMS.
Keep it up!
Hi Blake, yes consistency is the key, and really the yearly results are what matter. Month to month can fluctuate but ensuring the dividends keep coming is the goal! Thanks for the comment!
DeleteAny month you receive dividends is earth shattering at least thats what i think lol. And as always its money you never have to lift a finger after your initial buy to get. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteThis is very true. It is still fun to receive money each month no matter what the overall amount is! Especially since I have been investing my time elsewhere lately, its great to know that my quality companies are continuing to pay! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteKeep building the snowball, a couple of years back I was just like you. This year I should clear $7000 in dividends. Keep at it!
ReplyDeleteHi Derek! $7k is fantastic! Congrats on that. I will get there too someday. Bit by bit, like you say. Thanks for the comment!
DeleteApril is generally a slow month, but you're killing it over here with getting paid from 7 companies.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to having the cash but it's hard to make any buy decision when the DOW remain sky rocketed.
Hi Vivianne, thanks for the support! Keith made some suggestions and at a quick glance, I am liking what I am seeing. It may just inspire me to buy something soon, but I agree that the DOW feels so ready for a pullback, but something tells me Trump is not going to let that happen, but time will tell!
