Happy 4th of July for those of you in the USA. Time for my June update. This months dividend total was a new record high for me at $288.03 which is up 14% from the $252.03 that I made last quarter in March.
In comparison, last years June total was $227.91 which means my dividend's for the month have grown by 26% year over year. I also purchased 3 stocks in June which is the most I think I've ever done since just starting out. July will likely be a slower month for purchases since I'm a bit tapped out.
June Purchases
- Exxon Mobil (XOM) - 17 Shares @ $83.50
- Travelers (TRV) - 12 Shares @ $99.81
- Compass Minerals (CMP) - 18 Shares @ $83.76

ReplyDeleteGreat dividend income, keep the snowball rolling.
You too FF, you had a big month as well. Hopefully we can keep that snowball rolling faster and faster!
DeleteCongrats on highest monthly dividend income milestone. Awesome work, and with 3 new additional purchases in June, you should be seeing some really nice increase down the road. Now that investing into the future!
ReplyDeleteAll the best!
Thanks DV,it looks like we both had strong months. Those extra purchases are really gonna make next quarter a big one and may push me over the $300 mark since they pay in the last month of the quarter also. Well see!
DeleteCaptain, congratulations on collecting record pile of dividends! You are really moving in right direction.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for adding me to your blog list!

Thanks for visiting and you are a welcome addition to my growing blog list. :-o
DeleteNice lookin graph Captain. Congrats on another good month!
ReplyDeleteHey Adam, it is nice to see the progress there. Gotta love charts, they really show more than just trying to digest a bunch of numbers in your head.
DeleteGreat looking graph Dividend Captain, especially the growing trend chart. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteIt's shaping up nicely as is your income north of the border. Keep up the great work over there.
DeleteAn awesome month, Captain! You're getting very close to breaking the $300 mark! Gotta love seeing that ever-increasing graph. It's a thing of beauty ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July!
Cheers
It's like getting closer to that 300lb bench press for the first time, except as I get older my dividends will keep increasing instead of the other way around. :-o
DeleteGreat month for buys and dividend income. I'm also looking at TRV now that CB will leave my portfolio because of the ACE buyout. Gotta love those insurance companies. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSure, I kinda bought TRV as a hedge against increasing interest rates as well. Like you I was able to buy shares because of the LO buyout so we have something in common there.
DeleteCongrats on the new lifetime high! The chart looks great as usual. The purchases and the dividend increases should propel you to new heights by next quarter as well!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work

Congrats on a huge month of solid purchases and dividend income, Captain! The charts are filling in nicely these days. You've made such tremendous strides in income over the past years. Keep at it and thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat month and even better YoY increase. What are you doing with your new RAI shares from the LO acquisition?
ReplyDeleteEric
Nice new all time high, love how the chart just keeps on moving up.
ReplyDeleteCaptain,
ReplyDeleteGreat month! 11 companies paying you dividends, with a few nice increases ( I had 2 of those as well) = a great month. Just real solid. Excited for your next quarter to begin and obviously the big September month end to compare back to here. Keep it up CD!

Hi Captain!
ReplyDeletecongrats on another great month! It's funny my dividends this month were so close to yours! As always like to see your chart!
Good luck!
Another awesome month! That trend looks really nice. When do you think you'll cross the $1000/month mark?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on another great month Captain. Gotta love that dividend growth chart of yours...it's seems to be on a continual climb.
ReplyDeleteAlso, nice purchases in XOM, TRV, CMP...way to continue to put that capital to work for you. We also bought shares of XOM lately so glad to see we are fellow shareholders. :)
Best wishes and continued success! AFFJ
Awesome. Can't really say no to that free money. You are doing great Captain!
ReplyDeleteGreat returns in June! Keep it going.
ReplyDeleteCaptain,
ReplyDeleteGreat month! That chart is definitely moving in the right direction haha Very solid month all across the board, especially in terms of purchases, increases and dividend income. By the time September rolls around you will have blown past the $300 mark!
Keep up the great work!
