Dividend Buys

 This month has ben slow  for Dividend Purchases and these are the following Purchases made by me.

 All of them are my  existing positions and slowly adding them.

BA is currently the non dividend Payee ,But I have been adding and averaging down my average. Initially it was 398 and now I got it down to 244.

Dividend Buys are total of $460 and this will add another $15 to my dividends.

2020 December Dividends

 2020 is in books , one of the most unexpected years at least in my generation. Now coming to dividends i had a high hopes for December, but it turned out anticlimactic .I received less dividends this year compared to last December and it was significant.

One of the reason for significant reduction was very small distribution from RERGX one of my biggest funds .In 2019 I received more than 1300 in dividends and distribution from them.

Overall Dividends received were $1677,This is 38% decrease from 2019.But overall dividends compared to 2019 went by $10. This Year my goal was to get 11k in dividends and I achieved 82% of the goal. This year i will raise the goal to 12k Dividends. It will be very interesting to see where I will land.

Overall with all the things considered I  am ok with where things ended.

2019 September Dividend Report

September 2019 is in books and almost you can see the year end .Summer  has been brutal here in texas ,last 3 months were extremely hot .  This september i hit an high for dividends for the month of the september and i hit 4 digits for september. This month i got paid $1178 from 41 companies. Almost receiving $40 a day which is nice ,it's like working  another 4 hrs at $10.

Finally crossed 5000 in dividends for this year and since i started tracking dividends in 2014  i have crossed 32K in  total dividends,got to see if i can cross 35k for the year 2019 and maybe 50k in total dividends received for all years since 2014. These are some high goals.



Big contributor for this month dividends  are from the retirement accounts.



Biggest payee in taxable accounts is BBL,i received more than $100.

Compared to last few years this year the growth has slowed down,as i have been not investing like before.



 

Compared to 2018 dividends increased by 4.9%. Other than Dividend reinvestments  no significant investments happened in this month . Waiting for the new 401K to start with the new company so i can start investing in it.

So how did everyone did in september.
