Annualized Dividend Income

All together, annualized dividend income increased by $248 from last months total of $14,060 to $14,308. This means my dividend stocks will pay $14,308 in dividends over the next 12 months.

Other

• Lending Club interest received: $216.29
• Bank interest received: $34.88

Total passive income: $1,206.39 

Note: Hit my 2014 goal of $14,250 annual dividend income. With high yields in energy names, Q1 2015 should shape up nicely for adding to the snowball.

Lending Club IPO

I have been a Lending Club investor since 2010 and been pretty happy with the platform and returns. I have about $27k currently invested.

Tomorrow, Lending Club goes public and since I am a LC investor, I was given the chance to request shares at the IPO pre-market price.  I requested the max of 350 shares @ $15 a piece.  This is my first time that I have had the opportunity to invest in an IPO pre-market so I am kinda excited to see what happens tomorrow.

The way I look at it, this is pure gambling, I don't have too much capital at risk,  and I'm looking for a big pop.  Will probaly sell before the insider shares unlock.

Hopefully the shares perform better the my oil stocks!
