Dividend Update - April 2017



It's time for my April dividend update! Looks like a another good month for me here as I managed to earn $362.72 in dividend income. This is a slight YOY decrease is mostly due to Kraft/Heinz paying in March instead of April this year.

Last month I made one purchase and I made no sales.

  • Walmart (WMT) - From .50 to .51 (+2%)
  • Coca Cola (KO) - From .35 to .37 (+5.7%)
  • Cisco (CSCO) -  From .26 to .29 (+11.5%)

  • Walmart (WMT) - $44.37
  • Coca Cola - (KO) - $22.57

  3. That is $362 extra to put towards the compounding train! Love the graph at the end to see how far you have come over the years. Will be hitting $500 soon for this month.

  4. Very nicely done, adding that little extra capital makes a big difference in the long run. I am far away from reaching over $300 in a month but I am looking forward to the day I can say I did it. Well done.

  5. Solid income for the month. That KHC really threw many of us off in April. Keep it going!!!

  6. Seems like KHC hit a lot of people with either small increases or even declines. But that will work itself out over time. Over $350 is a solid amount of dividends for April. I have to say there's a few companies that you own that I don't really know/follow so I guess I need to give them at least a quick look over.

  11. Good work Dividend! And I don't want to be a downer, but it looks like your quarterly avg from 2016 on has somewhat flat-lined a bit. Any particular reason>?

  15. Good job. You have a nice diversified group of companies paying you and for an off month thats not bad We share 4 companies in that group.
