Wow! That's awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteHuge month. I have wet dreams over the day I see monthly dividend totals that high.
Congratulations. You're hard work is really paying off here!
I'll have to look at some of your holdings for potential additions to my own portfolio. I've looked at BBL from time to time. I'll have to revisit that one. Also, I do like TEVA, but that tax bite is pretty harsh..and the yield is already low. The reclaiming of the foreign tax withholding does help.
Best wishes!
Hi Dividend Mantra,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Alot of my positions all "hit" the same month. That, combined with the BBL and BHP semi-annual div payments accounted for the large (for me) month's total.
I look forward to the day that I receive $1000 plus dividends every month!
I am having a harder time finding value in today's QE3 pumped up market. I believe TEVA and BBL do represent decent value. You are correct about TEVA's tax bite (15%) and the yield is pretty low but I consider it more of a growth play.
I also think that precious metals have a place in everyone's portfolio but I do not like the fact that they do not pay me to hold them. BBL/BHP are a play on materials and they pay a decent yield to hold them.
cheers!
