Sharebuilder DRIP Purchases- AFL, KMR, GE

Reporting my weekly buys that went through today.  Market basically gained back all the ground it lost in the previous week and closed today at 16,676.

This weeks purchases:

Note: Running a little late on the monthly update.  Nothing too exciting to report.

February 2014 Update

I am very happy to report that I broke $12k forward annual dividend this month.  I have been looking forward to hitting this goal for quite a while.  Averaging $1000 month in dividend income has a very nice ring to it.

I started my dividend growth investment strategy in April 2010 so this has taken me a little less then 4 years to accomplish this goal.

Next milestone on my checklist will be $18k forward annual income.  I should be able to hit that by the end of 2015.
