September Dividend Update



It's time to report on my September dividend income. It looks like a new record once again! We shattered the previous record by a whopping 3 cents thanks to those small monthly dividend increases from Reality Income (O). :-)  So pretty much not much has happened since last quarter since I've made no purchases and received no dividend increases for this quarter other than Realty Income's

  • Tompkins Financial (TMP) - 26 shares @ $44.50

September 2014 Dividend Income
  • Chevron (CVX) - $57.78
  • Universal Health Realty Trust (UHT) - $31.50
  • McDonalds - $28.35
  • Pepsi (PEP) - $28.17
  • Avista (AVA) - $18.42
  • Realty Income (O) - $18.28
  • Lorillard (LO) - $21.88

  1. Captain,
    Nice looking slope on that shart. You've made a lot of progress since May 2012. I'm looking to add some O here soon, although I want to look further into the short interest.

    1. Considering O was just at $45 and now it's around $41 , it sure looks nice doesn't it. Thanks RBD

  2. Up, up, and away! The moving average is great as it provides a nice smoothing to the quarterly variability that all dividend growth investors see.

    1. Ya i think it's a better indicator of where things are going overall. Right now I have it set to a 3 month moving average. I think that's about right since most of my stocks pay quarterly. Best of luck.

  3. great income. Why have you been flat in 3 out of the 4 last months? Not buy?

    1. I've been buying but 2 of my 3 last purchase were for stocks which pay dividends next month. If you look at the chart you'll see that my July dividends were only around $175 so in an effort to try and equalize my income I made purchases that will pay there. The third stock I purchased I just missed the ex-div date as well.

      Thanks,

  5. Captain,

    Boy, that chart is moving in the right direction. Looks like you had a really solid month for dividend income, which will get reinvested and keep things moving. Looks like you're setting yourself up for a strong finish to the year. Keep it up!

    Best regards.

  6. Thanks for sharing your recent dividend income update with us. Nice looking passive income month for you. Happy to see some similar names as well in your portfolio as mine. Keep at it and curious to see where your next purchase will be. I know many are looking at energy stocks or mining as commodity prices all got rocked in recent weeks.

  7. I like what that chart is indicating, bigger and bigger income in the future. Lets keep it going, it is a nice and slow marathon to the finish line.

    Take care.

  8. Congrats on a record month! That chart is headed in the right direction. Even with no additions to your portfolio it should still increase a little as these companies raise their dividends.

  9. Moving average: like! It is more effective to take the big picture than monthly income.
