Hi MDP,
ReplyDeleteI tip my hat to you once again. Huge numbers on both passive income and capital invested. Well done!
You're absolutely right, there are some very low prices in oil and energy currently. I believe there are some good bargains among them too.
All the best!

Huw,
DeleteI think most people are looking to making acquistion in the energy space. I know I am.
MDP
Nice work MDP. You're so close to breaking the $1000 monthly dividend line, you can probably taste it. I will put some money to work in BBL on Monday. Anything you're looking at for next week?
ReplyDelete-Bryan
Bryan,
DeleteThanks for the comment. I am probably going to look at CVX, XOM, Shell, and maybe BBL. IBM is also on my watch list.
Take care,
MDP
Awesome numbers MDP! Good grief man... The passive income and the amount invested is truly awesome. I've been picking up BBL, BP and XOM as well, trying to take advantage of the decline in energy stocks.
ReplyDeleteSAD,
DeleteI really like the three choices you mentioned. They have been and will be on my radar this week.
MDP
Close to $1k for the month is awesome. Your forward dividend income is truly going to be huge. Do you plan on investing this aggressively for the foreseeable future or will you temper your new buys? Thanks for sharing and inspiring others.
ReplyDeleteDivHut,
DeleteI will be slowing things down a bit (I hope). The energy pullback is causing my trigger finger to be itchy.
MDP
MDP,
ReplyDeleteCannot be more than amazed by almost crossing $1K in the month of November (the non-traditional dividend paid month)! Just awesome and I cannot wait to see what your consistent dividend income stream brings, come 2015. I know December will be an earth shattering month for you, in terms of Dividend income and we are extremely pumped to read that one as well. Pretty nice with dividends... received $100 already from a few companies that pay on 12/1 - have to love seeing the cash flowing back and in decent chunks! Congratulations again and hope you have a nice Sunday!

Lanny,
DeleteWow that's cool that you have banked $100 already. I really like the way you are building your portfolio. Keep up the great work. Stretch for 5k in forward dividends. I know that you can do it.
MDP
Looking good, Hopefully u didnt miss to many ex-div dates with your new buys which I hate when it happens!
ReplyDeleteAG,
DeleteI actually don't keep track of the div dates. If I miss the dividend this month, I'll pick it up in three months.
MDP
Looking fantastic, MDP. You are steaming ahead with those new contributions and the dividend income shows the result of the past few months. Enjoy the rewards :)

R2R,
DeleteThanks, my friend. I look forward to a quieter 2015. But if bargains present themselves, I will start buying heavy again.
MDP
Your monthly dividend income is inspiring to me. Hope to see this kind of income for myself in the near future.
ReplyDeleteTawcan,
DeleteThanks buddy! You are progressing very nicely. You will reach these levels and higher in no time.
MDP
MDP,
ReplyDeleteAlmost 1k in November, and here I am thinking towards next year wanting to hit 1k for the whole damn year. Bravo.
Also those oil prices should keep the energy sector interesting at least.

DG,
DeleteThanks. Be patient and keep adding to your portfolio and the dividends will come!
MDP
MDP,
ReplyDeleteAwesome income, my friend. That last year of intense buying is certainly paying dividends (literally and figuratively) now. :)
I hope to catch up to you at some point this lifetime!
Keep up the great work.
Best regards.
DM,
DeleteThanks so much and I promise you when you reach 43 years old, you will be miles ahead of me. Keep up the great and inspirational work!
MDP
Well done, MDP!
ReplyDeleteYou've got yourself a nice income stream going on, but that's no surprise considering the amount of money you're deploying every month. Keep lighting the way, pal!
Cheers,
NMW
NMW,
DeleteNo rest for the tired. Maybe I should say no rest for those trying to reach FI!

MDP,
ReplyDeleteIf I were in your level of passive income, I am financially free already. Another monster dividend month! Keep it up!

FFF,
DeleteThanks for the encouragement. Keep fighting the good fight yourself!
MDP
I noticed that ESV currently has a Payout Ratio of 147%. Are those ratios commonly this high among companies in the energy sector? For most stock, I tend to stay under the 50% mark.
ReplyDeleteJoel,
DeleteI'm afraid if the oil prices stay at their present level or lower for too long ESV's dividend payout ratio will be lowered the hard way.....ie a dividend cut. :-(
MDP
I'm a fairly new investor, but one thing that I tend to look at is for companies that managed to pay their regular dividend during the last economy downturn(around 2008). This tells you that their finances are in order, and can endure/anticipate another downturn.
DeleteI guess we'll find out late Feb. Hopefully by then there will be signs of improvement in oil, but for now, you at least know that you'll get the upcoming .75 div.
Stay positive.
