2021 May Dividend Report.

 Month 5 is in  Books and this month i received more than $500  in dividends.

T is one of the bigger payer and coming close second  is AAPL.

This may change as T announced some changes  starting early next year.

This year May dividends are less than 2020. Due to changes  in my portfolio that i made last year.

I sold out RY/BMO  position and re-added small RY position . GD position increased.

2021 Dividend Goal: Total dividends received  so far in 2021 are close to 3300 and its like 30% of my goal of 11k for this year.

 Slowly I have been deploying some cash to my dividend payee stocks.

I have picked ABBV,LMT and GILD in my account. In  last month i have deployed around $730  to add almost 5 shares of ABBV and 2 shares of GILD.

This added another $35 in dividends to my account.

Q2 Final Buy--ABBV

On the last day of the quarter i added ABBV,i was watching it for last few weeks was going to add at 75 and decided to wait and with the purchase of Allergan the share price collapsed .I was itching to buy on that day and decided to see if it would go any more lower ,But it trended up and decided to add 15 shares at 71.45  with a commission of 4.95

This would bring  my total ABBV Shares to 37 and reduced my average price to 77. This would add another $60 to my account.

 

 

New Addition ---ABBV

I recently added ABBV to my account .This is a new position in my IRA account.I had it in my watch list for quite some time  and i had it a limit order at 80.50 till cancelled at the end of april  and it was executed this week. Had i waited 24 hrs more it would be more sweeter price.

22 Shares at 80.50 + 4.95 transaction fees  bringing the total to 1775.95 . This will add another $94 to my account .The yield at my buy  price is little higher at  5.3. Still have 3000 left for year to contribute.
