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.
Since I Acquired 100 shares of SPCE in February of this year at $38.05 I started writing covered calls to recover the capital and always write the call out of the money ,so that i wont lose the shares , now this yields low option price and I am ok with that.
So Far I wrote 16 covered calls either weekly or biweekly if the option price is low. 3 times I bought my call back so that I can write an expensive call this costed me total of $16. This way I recovered $654.
ASPS: This is another one i have been writing monthly calls ,as there is not much activity on weekly calls.
Even though most of my stocks pay dividends ,i have some that doesn't pay dividend .All these are small positions , With 1 share in amazon to 100 shares in ASPS. These are less than 8% of my portfolio.

Do you guys have any Positions that doesn't pay dividends .
So Early this year many dividend cuts, I stopped following the increases in early june as they were very few here and there in my portfolio. Now almost at the end of the year, I went back till June to check how many increases i had how much impact it had on my account.
So i had 11 increases in my account adding up to $75 to my dividends. ABBV had the biggest impact.
Overall this year I had $173 added in dividend increases for my account. My portfolio yield is around 2.2% This mean like new capital like 7k in capital.

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

Recently added MMM and few others to average out the position
