February 2017 Recap





Here are the dividends I received during February.

  • OHI --- $49.60
  • VZ --- $29.52
  • ABT --- $26.83
  • PG --- $20.09
  • NEA --- $16.32
  • AAPL --- $14.40
  • BMY --- $13.65


Total dividends received in my taxable account are $170.01.

New capital invested last month was $12544.33 and this increased my yearly dividends by $513.70.

I'm really pleased with February's outcome mainly because during last February and May I received $0 dividends. Also despite HCP paying in March, my February dividends are only $4 less than November 2016.

I continued my seed planting activities and am well on my way to achieving $10k in forward dividends by year end.

  1. Congrats on another fine dividend income month. With all of the buying you've been doing the last few months, I assume your reports are going to be really nice in the coming months.

    1. IH,

      I agree. I'm hoping for my off months to be in the $300-$400 range in the future. I also really excited to see March as I think it will be my first $1000 month since late 2015!

    1. BHL,

      Thank you! I believe that February will be my last sub $200 month. Fingers crossed.

  3. Another respectable month. Of course, in the coming months and quarters I know we'll be seeing some insane year over year increases because of all that fresh capital being put in. You are true to the word about DGI... always invest and stay invested. No sitting on the sidelines for you waiting for that crash as many have been doing. I commend you.

    1. DivHut,

      Investing is never easy. It almost never feels like a good time to buy. The market is either "too high" or it's going to $0. Both instances can paralyze us all. That is why it is good to follow your methodically approach. Keep up the outstanding work!

  4. MDP -

    Solid income and yep - your next 10 months should benefit fairly well with the massive contributions you've had. Pumped to see what March brings, as that will be the real proof.

  5. Great month. Impressive being able to add so much new capital into your portfolio. That will really increase your passive income for the rest of the year. Looking forward to seeing your March update. Thanks for sharing.

    1. DD,

      Yeah, it's kind of nice seeing the income flow in after a lot of pump priming. I'm counting on a big March! Like $1,000+
