Wow, you have a lot of holdings that pay during November. Most of mine seem to be on the March/June/Sept/Dec schedule. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteOn the A,B,C cycle most of mine pay on C also. I have 3 that pay monthly plus my high yielders pay on B. Half my holdings pay in December! I try not to worry about it and just track quarterly.
DeleteAwesome progress! Love all the purchases, and the harvest this month was plentiful indeed. You are well on your way man!
ReplyDeleteI had an unexpected windfall which made me confident to step up purchases this month. I do like to keep some money on the sidelines though.
DeleteThat's some awesome progress CI. $450+ in dividends for one month!! I'll probably hit that level next year but only because most of my portfolio pays out on the Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec schedule, I won't be close to averaging that sadly. Great job!
ReplyDeleteWell I did fall a little short of $450, but I have a shot at it next month and again in February. You're making awesome progress I wouldn't worry about it.
DeleteNice month. I like the purchases, especially KMI and MCD. I added some MCD myself and KMI is high on my buy list still.
ReplyDeleteYou do have a lot of payers in November including several I'd like to eventually own. I'm not worried too much now about spreading out the dividends though, I only care that they are increasing yearly.
Take care!
You have a bunch I want to own eventually as well. BDX, VZ, etc. I orignally thought 35 stocks would be enough but now I think I'll end up at 40 or maybe even 50.
DeleteHaha it looks like I'm in the minority of bloggers with my love affair of utilities. I prefer to play defense and prepare myself for bad times. When the market sours I know my utilities will still be in business because people will still need electricity. I know they aren't sexy or high flyers. I'm okay with that.
If half my portfolio is consumer staples, healthcare, and utilities I will be less likely to panic sell when uncertainty strikes! In theory atleast. haha!
What can I say? Solid month, man. You had a monster month of dividends and added some quality additions to the portfolio. Like others, November is a weak month for me as well. I haven't hit the $400 single-month dividend income mark yet, so that's fantastic. I hope to join you in that club very soon.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work.
Best wishes!
It won't be long.
DeleteSome solid purchases, a few dividend increases, and a nice monthly dividend total... I'd say that adds up to a great month. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThanks DGM!
