So I did some preliminary calculations to see what my forward annual dividend income looks like. I took all the shares I have, looked up the annual dividend of each of them and then multiplied. 🙂
| Ticker | # Shares | Annual dividend | Total |
| AMS:AD | 15 | 0.57 | € 8.55 |
| NYSE:OHI | 12 | 2.52 | $30.24 |
| NYSE:T | 12 | 1.96 | $23.52 |
| NYSE:HASI | 15 | 1.32 | $19.80 |
| NYSE:VFC | 6 | 1.68 | $10.08 |
| NYSE:GIS | 5 | 1.92 | $9.60 |
| NYSE:O | 5 | 2.53 | $12.65 |
| NYSE:PFE | 9 | 1.28 | $11.52 |
| NASDAQ:CSCO | 10 | 1.99 | $19.90 |
| Total | $ | $137.31 | |
| Total | € | € 8.55 |
This is without the 15% tax but after a quick calculation my forward income (with current dividends and euro/dollar course) currently stands at: $146.87 – 15% = $124,84
Not bad since I only started this whole DGI-business back in february of this year. The goal for this year is still to earn €130,- in dividends received but after passing the half year mark I’m not sure if I am going to make this one. I still have 6 months left to make purchases but barring monthly payouts there are only still 2 quarters left of payouts in most of the stocks out there.

That’s excellent. We are right around the same. My forward dividend income for the year, as of today’s date, is $186.27. I fully expect the numbers to rise with future contributions to my portfolio.
You also have some great stocks in your portfolio. Good luck with your annual goal.

Awesome start. Following the recent stress tests, the banks just increased their dividends. I think JPM’s yield is now 5%
