December 2016 Recap





Here are the dividends I received during December.

  • XOM --- $92.95
  • PFE --- $91.56
  • BP --- $68.40
  • RDS-B --- $65.80
  • WFC --- $64.98
  • GM --- $62.01
  • KO --- $56.23
  • SO --- $50.70
  • TROW --- $40.60
  • MSFT --- $32.18
  • GILD --- $24.51
  • TGT --- $24.21
  • NEA --- $23.83
  • FLOW --- $19.20
  • MET --- $16.00
  • EMR --- $14.40
  • GS --- $7.83
  • ESV --- $0.70

Total dividends received in my taxable account are $757.09.

Total net capital invested is $25,708.30 which raised my yearly dividends by around $1000.00.

Overall December was a really solid month! It's nice to finally get the dividend income back up to a respectable level. NEA actually made an interest payment on the 1st and 30th so I may not get a payment in January.

I'm really excited about the upcoming year and will continue working diligently to reconstruct my portfolio. I have 37 income producers starting out for next year and will likely add 5 to 10 more throughout the year. My primary focus will be to build existing positions whenever possible.

On a final note, I would like to say that I am missing Dividend Hustler! That guy has some serious game and provides a shitload of motivation! I hope he reappears sometime soon. The dividend community is better off with his presence whether he has a portfolio filled with dividend stocks or just stone cold cash!

Hustler, I hope you reappear during the 2017!!

In the mean time everyone, in all areas of their lives, should continue to.......see below in bright red!!

    D A Y U M. There you go, wow - 25.7K invested in one month?! Unreal. Just sick. I agree, the plan for me next year is to add to my current positions as well.

    I have no idea where Hustler went, I hope he's okay. Definitely motivating - even if he started making big changes towards the end. Hope he pops up again sometime/somewhere.

    Congrats to killing the month off right MDP, stay hungry.

  2. Awesome job. Looks good. snowball really taking off now. I have a couple that have those odd months paying out but as long as they pay out. That's what I want to do also build up some positions then add a new one as I get a chance or a chance appears. Keep it up

    1. D&H,

      Definitely! A day or two difference in the pay dates is no big deal to me either. I look forward to adding to some of my lower weighted positions and actually need to add some more to my energy holdings.

  3. $750 would pay for many people's mortgages. That's a nice amount of passive money coming in. Several of those companies grow their dividends on a regular basis, so this will really add to the snowball going forward.

    1. Chris,

      I really glad to see a strong month and hopefully by the end of 2017 every month will be at least that much. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
