In comparison, last years March total was $173.79 which means my dividend's for the month have grown 31% YOY! I'm pretty happy about the growth I'm seeing now but over time the growth will be slower as my portfolio grows and my additions will have less impact.

Nice increase from last quarter and YoY growth! It's awesome seeing how your dividend income steadily increases on your graph. I'm a visual guy and the up to the right trend is very appealing!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
I think were in the same boat there, seeing things in chart or graph form really helps me interpret information easier. You got it, up and to the right is where it's at, gotta keep that quarterly trend line moving!
DeleteCaptain,
ReplyDeleteGreat growth! Looks like you had all 3 items: Dividends, Dividend increases and capital infusion = all 3 cards used in order to play the game. Are you reinvesting the dividends? Great job, can't wait until you cross $300 in a month!

Hey Lanny, I am reinvesting the dividends but not automatically. Each month I selectively use the funds to make a purchase. I think it's better to selectively buy undervalued companies rather than reinvesting automatically in my holdings that may be fair or overvalued.
DeleteOne day I'll have some pretty hefty dividend totals like your near $800 month last month. Good job by the way! The $300 a month mark is going to be something I'd like to see this year hopefully. That would be fantastic!
Nice increases both QoQ and YoY! That's awesome. I bet you cross the $300 mark on this payout sometime this year. Keep up the good work! I really like that PM purchase.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see results like this so quickly. Faster growth means more money to reinvest each month. I don't think $300 is out of the question, I think I can do it, well see how things go. Thanks for stopping by PIP
DeleteGreat month Captain. My dividends also crossed $200 mark for March and looking forward to a similar month in April. I also purchased PM in March in addition to NOV and few others. Keep it going.
ReplyDeleteGood to see were on the same page with PM. I still have my reservations about PM in the long term but I think it's fantastic to hold for now. Greats on passing the $200 mark also, it looks like were pretty close in portfolio value as well.
DeleteAnother consistent, great month. I've come to expect nothing less! The chart continues to look fantastic. If that chart does not get people excited about this style of investing, I do not know what will.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work!
Captain,
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Awesome work.
Slow and steady wins the race. Every dollar gets us that much closer to financial independence. Keep it up!
Best regards
Great looking month CD! You have been really consistent investing regularly and you are reaping growing rewards. Keep up the great work and consistency.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes.
Inspiring dividend income update. Thanks for sharing. Impressive year over year growth too. Happy to see some common names for March dividend payers between our portfolios. Look forward to your next update.
ReplyDeleteCaptain,
ReplyDeleteI've said it before, but I love the look of your graph. Impressive upward momentum. I hope you manage to keep it up!
Keep it up,
NMW
Always feels good to watch the growth going up and up again! Good job!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the solid growth in dividend income. Love that upward trend chart you're showing.
ReplyDeleteEverything appears to be heading in the right direction. Nice work sir!
ReplyDeleteNice month! I'm prohibited from purchasing individual securities, so I'm envious of your portfolio. Hope it keeps going up!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful month right there, Captain. Those are super solid quarterly and yearly increases and I'm so on board with all your holdings. Thanks for sharing your consistent progress!
ReplyDeleteAnother month another passive income! Congratulations on another solid month Captain! Keep fighting the good fight of FI!
ReplyDeleteGood stock selection. All are great picks. I like UHT and thinking on adding it to my portfolio too. Good monthly income. Thanks for sharing. There is only a few good blogs posting their results and achievements, and they are very inspirational mainly for beginners, so thanks for posting yours!
ReplyDeleteYour growth always impresses me. Keep it slow and steady and keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteCheers,

That monthly dividend chart is downright sexy! May that trend never change!
