Summer is brutal here in texas most of the days averaging above 90F ,Month 7  in books,It seems the clock is running too fast . My oldest son just turned 8 this month . I have received dividend income from 19 different companies . Total Dividends received is $363.90 .Compared to last year this was an increase of 6%.  



Some of the 401k investing is showing up in the form of BHYIX.

My july month dividend income has shown growth over the last 5 years .



Most of the new funds are going into 401k  and trying to make extra mortgage payments. Some of the extra mortgage payments are done using plastiq.These earn me extra credit card rewards .

Dividend Hikes:

Two of the companies in my portfolio announced dividend increases.

HSY & UNP  these  increases add another $23 to my annual fund.This is almost like purchasing 11 new shares of T.

I hope everyone has a good July income from dividends.

June 2019 Dividend Report

Half of the year is completed and  Here are the dividends received for this month. For 2019 i crossed  1000 Dollars in dividend income 2nd time. 41 Companies Paid me dividend this month.



Compared with 2018 this almost  800 dollars less . This happened due to reshuffling of my Funds in my retirement accounts and smaller dividend payment from RERGX due to no capital gain distribution like last year. Last year my retirement funds provided $1529 vs $576 this year . Some of the funds in my account  doesn't pay dividends.



Overall its  not bad ,i like the progress happening in my Funds . Net worth Went up by 4%  compared to June 1st.

 

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.
