It's time for my July dividend update! For the month of July I was able to earn $324.75 in dividend income.
In July I sold my shares of Avista since it was being bought out by another company and it drastically shot up in price close to the actual buyout price. I nearly doubled my return on this investment and with the proceeds I bought a little more Southern Company to stay in the utility space, and with the rest I purchased more General Mills (GIS) as I think it has bottomed here and it's still a great company despite some growing pains.
