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.

What do you think of recent purchases?
