August 2017 Dividend Update

It's time for my August dividend update! For the month of August I was able to earn $372.58 in dividend income.

In made one purchase for the month in Altria, I wish I would have waited a bit since it's even cheaper now. That's how the market works and that's why I'm not a trader.

July 2017 Dividend Update

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.

July Stock Purchases

• General Mills (GIS) - 37 shares @ 54 = $2,004.95
