Can you believe it? Another month has passed and it is already time for my new dividend report. It’s also the second time I’m able to report a YoY-comparison so I’m also pretty curious to see if I can top the previous month growth numbers which were a staggering 891,9%. (statistically impossible but who knows?!?)
My total for April 2017 was: €11,23. A pretty high number for my second ever dividends received but that is due to the dutch Ahold Delhaize stock which pays out annuallyin April.
Without further delay, here are the nitty gritty details:
| Date | Ticker | Shares | Amount (€) |
| 13/04/2018 | HASI | 15 | 3.41 |
| 13/04/2018 | O | 23 | 3.74 |
| 16/04/2018 | CAH | 5 | 1.58 |
| 25/04/2018 | CSCO | 10 | 2.30 |
| 26/04/2018 | AMS:AH | 18 | 9.67 |
| €20,70 |
Yes! A total of €20,70 (after taxes) of free money was deposited into my account. The highest dividend I have ever received. This covers my internet / tv / telephone bill for about two thirds!
My year to date graph looks like this:
This brings me that much closer to my 2018 goal:
Still on track for the 2018 goals!
Total dividend YTD: €66,40
Total dividend received ever: €155,19
And now….the big moment, my second YoY-comparison!
April 2017: €11,23
April 2018: €20,70
A whopping 84,3% increase compared to last year! That just awesome!
How about you my dear readers / fellow bloggers, how was your April?
Financially free in 10 years 
Im more and more thinking about posting monthly dividend income reports as well 🙂 April was good for us as well as my Baltic companies paid their annual dividends 🙂 I think I will post that in the evening.

It’s easy for me since I only have 1 annual payment and the rest are quarterly or monthly. So I have something coming in every month to report 🙂
Looking forward to your report!

Nice work with the dividends Mr Robot – if you could only keep that YoY performance up for a few years you’d be well and truly financially independent!
Love the charts too – has a bit of Tron vibe to it 🙂

Hey Frankie, thanks for stopping by and commenting. I really appreciate it!
If only I could keep those numbers up! I’m guessing it would require the same growth in capital deployment and that’s gonna be a challenge. 🙂
The Tron vibe is exactly what I was going for so thanks for the confirmation!

85% YoY not bad at all! Stick at it and before you know it you will pay your entire phone/tv/internet bill with dividends (theoretically obviously).
On to the next month of dividends!

Congrats a record monthly haul, Mr. Robot… many more to come, I’m sure. Keep it up.
I trust you weren’t too thrilled with that CAH earnings report this past week. I know I wasn’t. They got quite the haircut to their stock price.
Looking forward to learn about your 3 new purchases. I know 1 of them!

It’s funny. In my first year it sometimes was hard to decide where to put capital. But at this time the only issue I seem to have is lack of capital! There are great buying opportunities everywhere so it seems.
