Annualized Dividend Income

All together, annualized dividend income decreased by $516 from Q3 total of $16,772 to $16,256. This means my dividend stocks will pay $16,256 in dividends over the next 12 months.

Other

  • Lending Club interest received: $216.16
  • Bank interest received: $41.80
Total Q3 passive income: $4,192.

Note: KMI dividend cut hurt but I will recover. Very possible BBL cut could happen in the near future.  I will weather the storm regardless and keep feeding the fire.

  2. AA,

    Nice quarter! That KMI cut was a real kick in the nuts. Keep fighting and adding. I'm back at the base of the mountain, but plan on climbing real fast. :-)

    1. MDP, that div cut was a trainwreck crashing into a dumpster fire. It's in the rearview mirror now though.

      Look forward to watching you climb back up the mountain. Im sure it wont take too long with your drive:)

      cheers, AA

  3. Great job with the dividend stream. My dividends are also increasing, slow but sure. I try not to pick stocks anymore, just S&P index ETFs for now.

    1. Thanks No Nonsense Landlord. I admire your rental portfolio and would love to diversify into rental real estate but live in really high cost area and am apprehensive about long distance investing. So until I can figure out a game plan, its dividend stocks for me.

      cheers, AA

  4. You definitely put a lot of fresh capital to work. That should really boost your divvy income going into Q1 of 2016. Great results all around and from a few names we share as well. Keep up the good work. Look forward to following your journey in 2016.

    1. Div Hut, I think we will see some opportunities in 2016 but also think I will see some more dividend cuts- bbl jumps out.

      I know we both like CAT and I think buying at 5% yield will look very attractive when looking back in 5 years.

      Keep up the good work yourself.
