October Dividend Income

October for me is another one of my "big" months as this is the month I receive one of my payouts from WPC (W.P. Carey REIT). Details are below, but I received $146.17 from 5 different stocks this month. These were reinvested to increase my annual dividends by $4.99. My new projected annual dividends are now at $1,290.76


Dividends - Amount I was paid from the stock
Annual Dividend - Amount that the stock pays annually for each share that is owned
Shares Purchased - Amount of shares I reinvested based on the dividends I received
Added Annual Dividends - Amount of additional annual dividends I plan to receive based on the additional shares.

October Dividends
Ticker	Dividends	Annual Dividend	Shares Purchased	Added Annual Dividends
O	3.12	2.29	0.0654	0.15
WPC	119.38	3.82	*	4.16
DPS	7.68	1.92	*	0.00
KO	6.30	1.32	0.157	0.21
PM	9.69	4.08	0.1148	0.47
	$146.17			$4.99

* WPC and DPS are put into my FRIP account with Scottrade which is reinvested for free into stocks of my choice. This money went toward a purchase of 2 shares of TROW this month which pays 4.16 annually.

Summary of Recent Buys - Week of October 25

My weekly summary of buys from around the blogging community for the week of October 25, 2015.

This weeks totals:

• 39 Total Purchases(+11 from last week)
• 28 Uniquely Different Stocks Bought (+4 from last week)
• 21 Different Bloggers Posted Buys(+7 from last week)

A total of $28,017 was invested in dividend stocks this week. About a $4k increase from last week. Things are picking up again this week.

Bloggers increased forward yearly dividends by  $1,458! That's a 5.2% Average Yield on Investment!

I have started something new this week as recommended by a couple bloggers in the past. I have a weekly S&P % Return vs Amount of Money invested in the market for that week. It is starting to show a correlation which does make sense, if you think about it. The cheaper stocks are, the higher dividend yield, the more interested bloggers become.

Top Purchased Stocks this week:

1. KMI - 5 Buys
2. VTR - 3 Buys
3. OHI,WMT - 2 Buys
   

KMI was the clear winner this week as the stock has dropped dramatically and yields a greater than 7% dividend.

Here is the F.A.S.T Graph for KMI.
