So for starters, I will mention (and I should update my portfolio page), I do not include my retirement or Roth IRA account dividends here (at least for now). That may change soon, but for now, I am just disclosing what my personal decisions have done for me.
The big one this month is my direct investment (usually tends to be). I hold a small stake in Cisco for my direct investments, and it payed out $19.84 in January for dividends. That's a good base to start on.
From there, my smaller investments take over, and combined, they pump my dividends up another $18.13, for a total of $37.97 That's $37.97 payed in January 2019, a year over year increase of 110.48% for January. This is a good start.
I will give a small heads up, my March this year will be hurting in YoY, as last year, I had to sell a few stocks to payoff some student loans, but I think that will help in the long run. But for now, I will go ahead and put my usual info below. Please take a peak, and let me know what you think of my January dividends. And as always, Keep pushing forward!

A lot of interesting names paying you for the month. Not too many traditional dividend growth stocks. Don't fall into the trap of focusing too much on high yield plays. A general rule to follow is that the higher the yield to more risky a stock is. Still, nice ob collecting that passive income. Keep the growth going.
ReplyDeleteKeith,
DeleteThank you for the comment. I am learning as I continue to invest, and I appreciate the comments. My portfolio right now is very heavy in monthly dividend, risky REITs. The good is that they are relatively cheap, so if they drop, I am not hurting too much. My first goal is to have $1 div income from all stocks in my portfolio. Then, as I continue to invest, I want to follow more of the DI community in moving to safer, more reliable stocks. I have seen DivHut on the blogroll over at Dividend Diplomats, and have checked in a few times. I have to admit, I have a long way to go to catch up to all you guys! Keep pushing forward, and thanks again for the comment. Here's to a great 2019!

Nice dividend and good job. I will echo what Keith said dont chase the high yield a few of them are ok if they are solid companies but DGI is the way to go.
