  2. Nice month Captain! Great job adding more T to the portfolio. KMI is starting to drift down as well. I am considering adding some more for the first time in over a year.

  4. Cap D,

    Very solid results with over $275 in dividend income. The purchase in T will guarantee another increase yoy in May 2016. We have set a cap on holdings at 20 but are seriously thinking of expanding to 21 if we can get some KMI sub $40. It seems to be popular among the DGI community and it can be a utility substitute for us. Thank you for sharing and congrats again on another great month. Here's hoping June treats you well.

    All the best.

  7. Looking good Captain! I had similar YOY growth in percent. In dollars your growth is certainly better since your portfolio is much bigger.
