December 2012 Dividend Income Update


Dividends Received

Good way to end 2012 as I closed the year with my largest month ever as I broke the $1000 mark. With that said, 2 of my holdings (PAYX and CAT) bumped up their 2013 divided payments (PAYX 2 quarters of payments, CAT 1 quarter, FAF 1 quarter) which accounted for  reaching this milestone.  Total dividends received during the month were $1,078.92:
  • EXC $149.92
  • RDS.B $138.43
  • LMT $113.32
  • JNJ $103.82
  • PAYX $91.70
  • INTC $77.82
  • FAF$63.86
  • BDX $65.31
  • AFL $59.18
  • MCD $56.29
  • CVX $51.07
  • TEVA $43.47
  • EMR $29.63
  • GS $15.43
  • CAT $12.46
  • RDS.A  $5.43
  • FTR $1.78

This months purchases:
  • $2006 of TEVA at $37.78. Yield 2.08%

  • $200 of EXC at $30.05. Yield 6.99%
Also reinvested all dividends.
 
$5,166 in total new capital added (including reinvested dividends) with initial yield of 3.57%. 

Dividend Increases

  • GE 11.8% raise. +$67.98 annual income.

All together, annualized dividend income increased by $270 from last months total of $8,697 to $8,967. This means my dividend stocks will pay $8,967 in dividends over the next 12 months.

  1. AA,

    Congratulations on exceeding the $1k mark in dividends for one month. That's an amazing accomplishment. That just shows what patience and perseverance will do.

    You're definitely an inspiration. That's a hell of a list of companies paying you. I also had a great month, but just less than half of what you got this month. I hope to cross that elusive $1k mark in the next 5 years.

    Keep it up!

    Best wishes.

  3. Man, over $1k in dividends in a month is awesome. That'd be about 70% of the way to covering my minimum expenses. That's just remarkable and inspiring to see. Keep it up!
