Month 3 is in books and this is Quarter End ,so this month will be a bigger one for me .
This Month i received $2,664 in dividends and compared to 2022 This is like 30% increase in dividends. This is due to rebalance in my ETF and MFs.
From the table below you can there was a huge decrease in BBL ,but still overall dividend income increased due to VMCPX/VSCPX/VMCIX and also from AVGO/HD,I have been building those position since last year.
