Count them 32 different companies send me a small check for my foresight to invest in them and my future. It's better to count with 32 different as heck them single paycheck any day. The most important aspect is I did not had to work for it but wisely invest little by little of my excess cash in the wonderful companies.

Recent Purchases - June II

Updated on Recent Purchases

It's been so far a busy beginning to the summer season. Time of year we take extra vacation and sight seeing. Spending more time with family is the main reason we all work hard and invest in DGI stocks to be able to afford us the time and financial freedom to do so.

While I will be vacationing and traveling to the northeastern states every few weeks for the summer time with family and extended family I will also keep on investing for future freedom.

While across the pond in Europe, the volatility created by Brexit does open up some potential purchase down the road as well.

So without further ado here is an update from the last few weeks of investing.

What do you thing of recent purchases?
What did you buy this month?

I believe I have lay the foundation for some pretty impressive collection of stocks which I hope to continue add shares to as I reach for the ultimate milestone.

As we close out the month of June it's time to reflect on upcoming month and start preparing a watch list for more purchase.

I see the possibility to add to stocks due to Brexit volatility at this point going forward. The likes of DEO, RDS. A, BP, GSK will definetelly be add to my watch list for month of July. But I should have a list ready by week end to focus on.

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?
