2020 November Dividend Report

 One more month in books and we are almost at the end of the year. What a strange year, no one  expected  to be this kind of year with pandemic and huge fall in stock market and rise again.

I have received $543 in dividends for the month of November ,Almost like $17 every day of the month.

Compared to previous November its up 21% .Slowly more months are crossing the threshold of $500 .

So far out of the 11 months  6 months crossed  500 and 3 months crossed 1000 in dividends.

For this month T  and AAPL are the biggest payers for me.

2020 Dividend Goals: 

 I had a goal of 11k in dividends received  and with this month payments I received  7.4k in dividends . 

For December I need to receive 3600 in dividends  ,for comparison last year I received  2.6K dividends in December 2019   I need 33% increase over  last year.

How did you Guys do for November?

Buys ---MMM,CVS,MA

 Recently added MMM and few others to average out the position 

Total of 1800 was spent in   these purchases .These will add another $60 to dividends if there are no Cuts.

October Dividend Income

 One more month is completed and we are less than 2 months from New Year. This month I received  over $400 in dividends.I have been slowly building position in MO.

Compared  to 2019 October it is up by 26%.Even with dividend Cuts in few companies.

Oct-16	Oct-17	Oct-18	Oct-19	Oct-20

2020 Goal: I had a goal of 11K in dividends for 2020 and  so far I am at 62% of the goal. If  I receive similar income as last for the last 2 months I will be at 10k. It will be interesting to see.
