December has come and gone and it was one of the busiest I have ever had. Work & personal life all conspired to rob me of my blog time but never the less my money continued to do the work for me. You got to love this DGI road we are one!
No less then 8 companies payed out their dividends including. Strangely enough PEP (or my broker) decided to move the payout of PEP to January so that stock is missing in this report. Here are the details:
Ticker | Amount (€) |
INTC | 1.79 |
PFE | 6.87 |
UN | 8.65 |
IBM | 5.86 |
ADM | 4.52 |
O | 3.79 |
ED | 4.27 |
VFC | 2.26 |
QCOM | 2.77 |
€40.78 |
I closed the year strong with another month over the €40 mark. Hopefully I can continue this streak but I’m expecting to dip below this mark next year one or two times in the first month of the quarter.
And the visuals keep me excited as well:
As you know, I already achieved my dividend goal for 2018. So everything these last months is just icing on the cake. That doesn’t mean I’m not maximising everything at the moment to finish the year strong (and possibly make my extended goal of €325!).
Total dividend 2018: €345,25 (crushed my extended goal with €20,25 to spare!).
Total dividend received ever: €434,04
And now….the big moment, my YoY-comparison!
December 2017: €10,93
December 2018: €40,78
Thats another amazing increase of 373,10% compared to last year! As always my results are converted from their base currency to euro and are post-tax.
I’ll be off binge-commenting on your blogs now, I would love to hear your thoughts on your month (or mine)?
Congrats on a great month and year Mr. R! Love seeing you start to build that streak, as stringing the months together really starts to boost the portfolio.
Also, awesome job on beating the extended goal–and almost making it to 350 too! The new year should bring some big things for you!

Yes, I didn’t even realise I started a streak until making the report. It will be a close call I think for January though.
I’ll be posting my review 2018 and goals 2019 in a few days. 🙂

Hey P2035, what an awesome result for you in 2018! €500 plus should be hopefully be doable considering my forward income exceeds that amount.

Well done Mr. Robot! It looks like you had 9 companies delivering a dividend for you. That list is getting quite long.
I also like the way your chart is looking… it bodes well for even better results in 2019. Here’s hoping those triple-digit YoY income increases stay with you all next year.

In 2019 the real percentages will be intersting. In the first two years these triple digits are relatively easy.
Everything is trending upwards 🙂

Great results for the end of the year. Nice to see we share a handful of names for December. Keep doing what you’re doing as that year over year increase shows what can be accomplished with regular investments throughout the year.

Hey Doug, I hope that it’s the start of a 40+ streak! Not sure though, first month in a quarter is not my best one.
