2021 April Dividend Income report

 April Month is  done and  time is flying very quickly .This month 19 companies paid me dividends and compared to last year  2 new companies paid dividends and  they are CINF and JPM.

Total Dividends received this month are $446.87 Compared to 2020 its almost like no gain.

As seen from the tables below they are some cuts that happened in my account and not fully returned like FXAIX,NLY and CXW. CXW i sold the company  last year and dividend income is not completely replaced. VTR also i sold part of the position.


Dividend Reinvestment:

2021 Q1 Review

 Finally After a long time i am reviewing my Q1 performance.

Net worth Increased by 8%,which is good.

For 2021 Q1 i received over 2300 in dividends  compared to over 2100 fore 2020 Q1.Last few years the growth  in dividends in slow. Most of the funds are going in non dividend paying funds . This year dividend Goal is 11k,i am 21% of the goal which is  little lower than where i want to stay for this quarter.



One New position RKT paid dividends this quarter compared to last year.

Even this quarter i am slow in adding stock positions or funds to account. I still have some $ left to finish 2021 IRA .

Another Achievement this quarter was we got both does of vaccine  and so far it s good.
