Earlier this year I took a speculative position in AMC ,was expecting a similar ride like GME and in last two weeks it came to fruition .
I sold 55% of my AMC Position to grab my Regular dividend Paying stocks.
With the profits and capital from that sale I invested in BMY a new position in my account and added 3.78 shares of GD to bring that position close to 25 shares.
These new purchases will add another $86 to my account and i invested around $3k for a yield of 2.9%.
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.
As mentioned in other post i was assigned AMC put at effective price of $11.92 after deducting premium. and I immediately sold a covered call for for $14.5 when the AMC share price was $12 something . If you have seen my Monthly options posts I have been playing AMC weekly.
Finally as seen by everyone my AMC call got called away after huge price increase in AMC. I was thinking of buying Back at some point but then it became too much like 2k to buy back my option. I let it go as i already Bought SPCE call back for $180.
So with small gain and after collecting premiums on Both calls i made close $293.
Last week i sold a AMC put for $13 for $108. As my earlier AMC call got called away.
I was hoping the put wouldn't execute and pocket $108.
I Already sold a covered call for this week and it will be called away due to huge price rise in AMC stock.
Here are my expired options for the month of April.
I have been mostly selling covered calls on AMC,PLTR,SPCE .
This month for the first time i added GSAT.
This month i collected $274 .

I had some nice dividend increases in the last 2 months in my positions.
DE,JNJ and AAPL gave me nice increases with the latest dividend hikes. These new dividend hikes added $73 to my annual dividend fund. One position i like to increase is JNJ .
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:
Since early this year some of the dividends are being Dripped. This month following dividends are dripped.
2021 Dividends: So far till April i have received 25.3% of my goal (11K Dividends),same time last year i was at 22%,so this year its progressing at better rate.
