And we’re in June! Is it just me or is this year going faster and faster by the minute? I’m still really excited with my personal record of last month and the fact that I could do an extra-large buy adding even more fuel to my FIRE 🙂
So ladies and gentleman of the jury, I present you my May results! No less then 6 different companies payed me last month:
Date | Ticker | Shares | Amount (€) |
01/05/2018 | GIS | 10 | 3,46 |
01/05/2018 | T | 31 | 7,45 |
15/05/2018 | OHI | 13 | 6,15 |
16/05/2018 | HRL | 10 | 1,35 |
16/05/2018 | O | 23 | 3,62 |
16/05/2018 | PG | 8 | 4,11 |
€26,14 |
Yes my preciousssssss………another personal record (two times in a row)!
<*> insert happy dance here</*>
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: €92,54
Total dividend received ever: €181,33
And now….the big moment, my third YoY-comparison!
May 2017: €12,23
May 2018: €26,14
Thats another amazing increase of 113,74% compared to last year!
How about you my dear readers / fellow bloggers, how was your May?
That is a very nice month’s worth of dividend indeed!
I missed the boat on PG’s ex-div date myself though xD
Congrats on breaking your personal records, though!

A shame you missed those but in the end it doesn’t really matter. You got in at the right price at almost the right time. 🙂

Nice clean, simple recap, Mr. Robot; I like it.
May was a “quiet” month for us in terms of dividends / passive income. We just posted our recap.
On your respective post, I also like the year-over-year (YoY) comparison – that certainly puts things into perspective in terms of progress. Thanks again for the post and congrats on a good month. – Mike

It’s not just you Mr. Robot, the time just flys by. It seems too that the older you get, the faster it goes. The only upside is the dividends roll in faster as well. Agree with Mike above, nice clean and easy to follow report. Looking forward to your next monthly purchase. Tom

Thanks for the compliment Tom!
Thanks to my holiday allowance I can actually do another large buy. So I’ve decided to do two purchases. One I made yesterday and finally it’s an utility 🙂 the other one still doubting actually.
There seems to be a lot of value at the moment.

Went to their first 5 games (all wins). Unfortunately I didn’t have a ticket to the Semi FInal, so I had to fly home and watch it on TV. Was an amazing trip, and a bucket list item for sure (going to a world cup with my dad).
I actually wrote on of my very first blog posts about that trip:

Well, our last name (and my grandfather) were Dutch. My father was a really good football player here in Canada – and even coached me until I was about 15 or 16.
Canada is a great country – but Football is not one of our best qualities…so from a very young age, I was converted to a Dutch fan. Dennis Bergkamp is the sold reason I have been an arsenal fan for years…

I think the streak will be broken in June but we’ll see. The growth streak is relatively easy the first year when making yoy comparisons. I’ll can only hope (and work my ass off) to do it again next year.

Also, count me as another one that likes your charts! I think I need to add an overall div tracker towards my goal like you have. Need to look at Google Sheets and see what charts they have.
