Dividend Income - April 2016

Dividend income for April 2016

Another month and time to reflect on those who paid us dividend. There really is nothing to compare to passive income via dividends. Its passive, nothing is required from you, but to constant invest in this stalwarts of company which year in year out continue to payout dividend and increase at a rate above that of inflation.

Below are company who paid me dividend in April.

April 2016

4/4/2016	4/5/2016	4/6/2016	4/7/2016
4/7/2016	ITW	1.06	sharebuilder
4/8/2016	KHC	0.6	loyal3.com
3/15/2016	WPC	3.93	sharebuilder
	CINF	2.63	sharebuilder
	MAIN	1.8	sharebuulder
	MDT	2.67	sharebuilder
	STAG	0.5	Roth
	PBA	0.33	Roth
4/25/2016	GE	1.38	sharebuilder
4/28/2016	BNS	1.17
4/29/2016	LTC	0.9
		$17.79

Wow $17.79 close enough to pay my monthly parking to commute to work. I will take that I had nothing else to do but started to invest in some of this companies. 

As all my stocks are set to reinvest the dividend this will add $0.28 to my yearly dividend to $531.21. How is this contributing to my yearly goal?

well so far first quarter (Q1) total dividend was $85.95, I will be looking to add and grow this income for the foreseeable future. 

How did you do in April?

Recent raises 2Q

Nothing like receiving additional raises throughout the year to reach one goal that much faster.

Recent raises

UTX 3.1% from $0.64 to $0.66 2.51% yield effective May 18 payable June 10
WFC 1.3% from $0.375 to $0.38 2.99% Yield effective May 4 payable June 1
SO 3.2% from $0.5425 to $0.56 4.41 yield effective May 12 payable June 6
PBA 4.9% from C$0.1525 to C$0.16 yield 5.4% effective April 21 payable May 13
XOM 2.7% from $0.73 to $0.75 3.4% yield effective May 11 payable June 10
JNJ 6.7% from $0.75 to $0.80 2.85% yield May 20 June 7


Special Dividend Payout:
MAIN $0.28 payable June 27 ex-dividend June 16 this is on top of monthly dividend
Of $0.18 a share. Thanks MAIN.

This will increase my yearly dividend by $3.32 to $530.499. I am not including special dividends they are only few companies who still provide it just will help achieve goal quicker this year, so I will not count with it.

This reflect updated dollar conversion from Canadian Dollar. All in all increases are better than cut i.e. NOV and KMI of recent history.

Are you receiving any increase this quarter? Who do you looking forward to increase their dividend?

Recent Buy VI

1 new stock added to sharebuilder!!!

After last post I was really excited to get over $500 in forward dividend payout. So I wasted no time to setup my weekly purchase on sharebuilder. I added shares to both my individual account as well to Roth. As we all know I will not rely on my Roth for early retirement and as such I not as concentrating as much on Roth IRA accounts, but I am contributing to my TSP account as a government employee at lower rate now of 5% and TSP ROTH 1% as I feel it's necessary for long term aspect of my retirement.

So without further ado here is what I purchase this week.

Starting with the new addition Omega Healthcare Investors (OHI) Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. is a real estate investment firm. The firm invests in the real estate markets of United States. It invests in healthcare facilities, primarily in long-term healthcare facilities in order to create its portfolio.

Sharebuilder:
OHI $250.00 7.05 shares  @ 34.86
HCP $50.00  1.33 shares   @ 34.53
RDS.A $50.00  .88 shares  @ 52.13
OKE  $50.00   1.28 shares   @ 35.82

This will add $25.87 to my forward yearly dividend

Sharebuilder ROTH:
STAG. $45.00  2 shares  @ 20.44

This will add additional $ 2.76 to my forward dividend for a total of $528.03 in forward yearly dividend.

What do you think of recent purchases?

Recent Buy V

Added 3 new stocks to the retirement fund on Loyal3!!

Towards the end of last week I had less than $100 left on my account as I try to figure what to buy. I ponder towards buy myself a nice sneakers or even a dress shoe. Well many thoughts ran thru my head on what I should do. Ultimately I decide to transfer the fund to loyal3 and add few descend stocks on my watch list there.

So here is what I end up adding to my loyal3 account.

On April 21, 2016

MSFT $10.00 .1934 shares @ 51.70
WMT  $10.00  .1459 shares @ 68.52
SBUX  $10.00  .1742 shares @ 57.39
FTR     $10.00  1.8116 shares @ 5.52
VFC    $10.00   .1569 shares  @ 63.74
LB      $10.00   .1302 shares  @ 76.83
INTC  $10.00   .3174 shares   @ 31.51

A modest $70.00 total put to work. This will. Add 2.27 towards dividend. Total now stands at $499.40

I will surely reach the $500 in forward yearly dividend this week. This is an average of $41 dollars a month; this will surely pay my cable bill, one expense cover check!

Recent Buy IV

Added 1 new stocks to the fund!

It's becoming hard to find stocks to park your money the market (DOW) is only few hundred points away from all time high, which is great for day traders but not for long term investors to be active. I see myself continue to place capital at work whenever I see value.

So here is what I purchase this week:

4/19/2016 on sharebuilder account:

CAT $250.00 3.06 shares @ $80.40
WFC $50.00 .92 shares @ 49.79
BLX $80.00 3.01 shares @ $25.18

CAT is a new position on my retirement fund portfolio; it has rebounded nicely lately but there is still room to grown, so it's a good time to start a position.

So recent purchases adds $15.44 to my yearly dividend and total now stands at $497.13 in forward dividend.

Recent Purchase III - April 2016

After selling NOV because they cut their dividend 95% from $0.46 to $0.05, I have been search a stock to replace its place on my fund. I did buy PG on my weekly sharebuilder as replacement to the fund. Yesterday The sale did settle and instead of waiting for my weekly purchase to add new stock I pull my BB Gun and added a new stock Banco Latinoamericano de Exportaciones, S.A. (Bladex) (BLX).

BLX will provide some exposure to Latin America to my fund. it will be the first stock own in my fund outside North America or Europe. I am excite about its future as a dividend growth stock.


Here are some highlights from Quarter 1 (1Q16) From Bladex website:

Bladex’s 1Q16 Net Profit totaled $23.4 million (+1% QoQ, -22% YoY),
as improved Business Profit (1) of $28.1 million (+11% QoQ, +2% YoY)
mainly from higher net interest income (+5% QoQ, +10% YoY), and lower
operating expenses (-6% QoQ and YoY), was partially offset by negative non-core results of $4.7 million in the 1Q16, mostly from the Bank’s participation in the investment funds, terminated as of April 1, 2016.

The Bank’s 1Q16 annualized return on average equity ROAE (3) and Business ROAE (4) reached 9.6% and 11.6%, respectively, compared to 9.5% and 10.4% in the fourth quarter 2015, and to 13.0 and 11.9% a year ago.

As of March 31, 2016, end-of-period and average Commercial Portfolio balances stood at $6.9 billion (-3% QoQ and YoY) and $7.0 billion (-3% QoQ, -2% YoY), respectively, mainly as the result of reducing risk exposures in the Commercial Portfolio.

The most important metrics is:

Quarterly dividend payment: At the Board of Director’s meeting held April 12, 2016, the Bank’s Board approved a quarterly common dividend of .385 per share corresponding to the first
quarter 2016. The dividend will be paid on May 11, 2016, to stockholders registered as of April 25, 2016.

So here is what I purchase April 14, 2016:

BLX $176.35 7 Shares @ $24.20 
The purchase will $10.78 to my yearly forward dividend which now totals: $481.69

what do you think of recent purchase?

I still have CAT, WFC and HCP on my watch list to add to this month but figure was a good time to buy this stock. I may even add OHI to my buy list for this month as its looking attractive now.

Recent buy II -April 2016

Recent Buy II
New stocks added to the fund.

This week on my weekly sharebuilder purchase I added one new stock on sharebuilder to bring total to thirty stocks on the fund. I been watching Procter & Gamble Co. (PG) for awhile now it was just the right time for me to initiate a position here I do think I am paying a premium to start but it a gamble on a dividend King and a long history on dividend paying dividend and growth. They did raised dividend this quarter at meager 1% but it's better than cutting dividendi think like NOV just did which I sold Monday morning.

So the capital will be put to better use here. I also added to other stocks which looks very attractive price wise. Without further ado here is this week purchase:

April 12, 2016
PG    $180.00 2.12 shares @ 82.91
HCP $40.00 1.03 shares @ 34.84
WFC $40.00 .76 shares @ 47.22
UNP  $40.00 .45 shares @79.12

This will add $10.22 to my forward yearly dividend for a total of $470.91.
Almost makes up for the cut in dividend on NOV, but it's a start going forward.

Consistently investing in the market with the long term view has its benefits, since passive dividend or income is the best source of income to sustain life in retirement. I believe I am doing that now plant seeds to produce such income.

What do you thing of recent purchases?

What are you buying this month?

Thanks for visiting.
