2022 June Dividends

 Q2 is in books and june month is done .I have received $2152  in dividends. This is $100 less than Q2 2021.

One of the reason dividends  are less  compared to 2021 is the payout from RERGX fund,last year it contributed  close to $850 and this year its $63.Now I rebalanced  the position,still the  dividends are less.Excluding RERGX,I had good increases and with special dividend from LYB.

2022 Dividend Goal:

My goal for this year was 14000 in dividends  and I am at 46% of the goal.This seems to be interesting  as half of the year completed and I am 46%. Need a bumper second half of the year to make it.

2021 June Dividend Report

 Q2 Completed and now i am ready with another monthly dividend report. This one surprised me as  one of my funds payed me a huge dividend.  This month i received total dividends of $2250.84,Big reason  for  this is payment from RERGX, last year  and this quarter they paid negligible dividends .Another reason for my confusion is  RERGX split the payment as capital gain, but most websites are reporting as dividend.

Comparing with 2020 June  this is a big gain due to Rergx,but we had other increases in dividend payees.

Jun-17	Jun-18	Jun-19	Jun-20	Jun-21
446	2035.54	1206	1215.97	2250

Comparing to 2020 June  i had 3 dividend reductions  with WFC being big cut of $45.

2021 Dividend Goal: With the unexpected payment from RERGX, I am at 50.5% of my goal of 11k.For month of July special dividend payment from Trow should also help.

Dividend increases

In last few weeks ,some of the companies in my account announced dividend hikes.

VFC increased it dividend from 0.46 to 0.51 and i have 52 shares so this will increase my dividend by $10.45

All 3 increased my dividends by $38.

 

Dividend Hike V ,VFC and Buy MMM

Recent weeks with the market fluctuations i  missed my dividend Hikes received in the last few days.

First one is VFC  which increased its dividend from 0.46 to 0.51 an increase of 11%. I have 52 shares so this increase my dividend $10.4.

Second Increase  is V  which increase its dividend from 0.21 to 0.25  and i have a total of 25 shares and this will add another $4 to my account.

I added 1 more share of MMM to my account at $185.86 and this will add $5 .4 .

All these actions adding close to $20 to annual fund.

 

Funfact : This is my 100th post on the blog.

 

 

Buy -T and Dividend Hike -VFC

With the share price of T down i added 12 more shares to my robinhood Account over 2 different days.With this the total number of shares i own for ATT is 69,trying to push it to to 100.

10/25/17 7 shares of T at 33.69 = 235.83

10/24/17 5 Shares of T at 35.05= 175 .25

This will add another $24 to my annual fund.

VFC has announced a dividend Hike of 10% ,since i own 52 shares this add another 8.32  to my annual fund, This is like investing  140 dollars in T.

So overall 32 dollars are added my annual Dividends.
