May + June 2019 dividend report

Holy shizzles Batman, I haven’t posted anything in the month of June. Sorry my dear readers but as you might have guessed, life got in the way. I’ve been prioritising my family and my work above my blog and commenting on your blogs. To me it makes sense, hopefully for you as well otherwise you might have some re-evaluating to do.

If I look at my blog stats the dip is noticable as is the absence of some of my blogosphere companions. Its only natural I guess, no commenting on other blogs equals no comments on my blog. Quid pro Quo as discussed before.

Even though my blogpost count didn’t go higher I have been quite busy on the buying end as well, wielding massive capital lately from my tax returns, work bonus and holiday allowance. So expect to see some major improvements in my dividend income.

I will show my results of May and June together in one post so I will be back on track for my July report in August.

My results for May 2019:

Ticker	Amount (€)
T	12.79
GIS	3.71
TXN	5.85
ABBV	17.03
OHI	6.5
PG	4.52
HRL	1.62
O	3.95
KBT	28.64
	€ 84.61

Highest dividend income ever baby! And for a special reason -> KBT you might wonder? Well I wondered too! I had no idea what happened here only that for some reason I got payed extra! A first for me 🙂

After discussing with my broker and some online digging I noticed that VFC had spinoff their Denim business into a new standalone company Kontoor Brands. Apparantly I did not have a large enough position to earn me 1 share of KBT so I got payed an extra sum to compensate the “loss” of value of VFC. NICE! 🙂

So now the visuals for May:

Halfway to my dividend goal of the year and its only May! 🙂

And now for my June results:

Ticker	Amount (€)
INTC	1.9
PFE	7.28
UN	14.22
IBM	6.07
ADM	10.59
3M	4.33
WBA	4.96
PRU	2.98
ORI	10.15
O	3.93
ED	4.47
VFC	2.28
QCOM	8.79
	€ 81.95

Technically this is my highest dividend month ever since last month I received an extra payout from VFC. More than €80 a month is just awesome! This month also sees the results of additional investments and my two new positions 3M and WBA paying out for the first time bringing in almost an additional €10.

And ofcourse the visuals:

Total dividend 2019: €406,84
Total dividend received ever: €840,88

And now….the big moment, my YoY-comparison!

June 2018: €22,97
April  2019: €81,95

As always my results are converted from their base currency to euro and are post-tax. I would love to hear your thoughts on your month (or mine)?

April 2019 dividend report

Another full month has passed and all I have to show you guys is my April dividend report. Life continues to thwart my plans (I let it though :)) with regard to more regular updates on this page. Juggling a family with two small kids and a high performance job takes a lot of energy which leaves less for this blog.

That doesn’t mean that I have been sitting on  the sidelines regarding dividends and new buys! I’ll leave the buys for my next post (I’ll combine my April and May buys) and as a teaser for that I will say that I made five buys, three of which were new positions!

Here are my results for April, no less then 10 companies payed me a dividend, including the annual from AD.

Ticker	Amount (€)
PPL	7.19
IRM	17.6
KMB	3.89
PEP	3.50
AD	10.79
HASI	3.79
LEG	4.58
CAH	5.01
O	3.90
CSCO	2.65
	€62.90

Here are the visuals:

Working towards my goal of €650,- in received dividends this year:

Still on target after 4 months into the year.

Total dividend 2019: €240,28
Total dividend received ever: €674,32

And now….the big moment, my YoY-comparison!

April 2018: €20,70
April  2019: €62,90

Thats another awesome increase of 303,86% 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)?

 

March 2019 dividend report

Another month has passed in a flash, amazing to see how fast time goes by. Ofcourse having an extremely busy month helps too 🙂 Between juggling a family with two kids, a trip to CloudFest in Germany and stress at work it is calming to see my money working for me in the stock market.

I (well technically my advisor) completed my taxes last week and its great to see an extra amount heading our way (we always pay the full amount on our mortgage so we get back once a year). So part of that money will most likely be used to invest some extra money in the stock market and / or paying off our mortgage.

On to the results for March:

No less then 11 companies payed me this month and (spoiler alert!) it has been another record breaking month!

Ticker	Amount (€)
INTC	1.88
PFE	7.26
UN	13.29
IBM	5.93
ADM	10.53
PRU	3
ORI	10.04
O	3.89
ED	4.44
VFC	2.29
QCOM	8.9
	€71.45

Un-freaking-believable! Not only did I break my previous record of €54,68; I totally skipped the €60 range and went straight into €70 territory!

Here are the visuals:

Working towards my goal of €650,- in received dividends this year:

So a quarter in the year and over a quarter of the way towards my end goal. Not too shabby if I may say so myself. 🙂

Total dividend 2019: €177,38
Total dividend received ever: €611,42

And now….the big moment, my YoY-comparison!

March 2018: €17,66
March 2019: €71,45

Thats another awesome increase of 404,86% compared to last year! As always my results are converted from their base currency to euro and are post-tax.

February 2019 dividend report

Another month has passed, where the heck does time go? One moment its monday morning and the next its a week later. I haven’t even placed my post for my February buy! I’ll combine that on with my buy from this month since that one is already done  as well 🙂

In any case, here are my results of the second month of the first quarter.

No less then 8 companies paid me in the past month:

Ticker	Amount (€)
T	12.10
GIS	3.63
TXN	5.79
ABBV	16.94
OHI	6.45
PG	4.32
HRL	1.57
O	3.88
	€54.68

The €50+ euro streak continues and will likely not stop anymore if my calculations are correct! 🙂 Next to this I can also report that this is my new personal record for dividend received! It’s amazing to see what results you can achieve with continous investments, reinvesting the dividends and ofcourse the dividend increases. The trifecta is in full effect!

Here are the visuals:

Working towards my goal of €650,- in received dividends this year:

So far we’re still on schedule for this year with some well placed buys before ex-dividend date.

Total dividend 2019: €105,93
Total dividend received ever: €539,97

And now….the big moment, my YoY-comparison!

February 2018: €19,17
February 2019: €52,21

Thats another awesome increase of 285,24% compared to last year! As always my results are converted from their base currency to euro and are post-tax.

January 2019 dividend report

The new year started of with a bang and the first month has flown by. As you may have read in my previous post, I started the year with a nice deployment of capital. Initiating positions in the financial sector I added some more balance to my portfolio. Next to spending money, I also received money in the form of sweet dividends.

No less then 10 companies paid me in the past month, including newcomer Legget & Platt (LEG).

Ticker	Amount (€)
PPL	7.03
IRM	17.32
KMB	3.73
PEP	3.44
DIS	1.3
HASI	3.66
LEG	4.52
CAH	4.96
O	3.79
CSCO	2.46
	€52,21

Ladies and gentlemen, I broke the €50 mark for the first time! That is so friggin’ awesome! Bonuspoints for you if you know from which movie the following screenshot is from:

My dividend visuals look more and more appealing:

And I’m actively working towards my new dividend goal for 2019 (€650):

Total dividend 2019: €52,21
Total dividend received ever: €485,29

And now….the big moment, my YoY-comparison!

January 2018: €8,92

December 2018 dividend report

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.

November 2018 dividend report

So December is here and the holiday season has kicked off! Not quite Christmas yet (we have another guy in red bringing gifts before Santa on the fifth of December! :)) but the holiday spirit is defintely here. Nights are getting colder and the time for being merry is on its way. But before we kick back and relax (which I won’t because I don’t have any vacation days left so I’ll be in the office until the 30/12/2018) it’s time to look at the results for November.

No less then 8 companies payed out their dividends including newcomer TXN. Here are the details:

Ticker	Amount (€)
T	11.53
GIS	3.64
OHI	6.43
HRL	1.4
ABBV	12.95
O	3.79
PG	4.26
TXN	5.7
	€49.7

Thats right baby, another all-time dividend record is in the books! My second month of the quarter is always the largest and with my earlier TXN buy the month just got bigger. Lets look at the visuals:

Although I didn’t crack the €50,- threshold (€0,30 cents darnit!) I’m liking the progress I’m seeing based on the graph alone.

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 YTD 2018: €304,47 (only €20,53 to go for my extended goal people!).
Total dividend received ever: €393,26

And now….the big moment, my YoY-comparison!

November 2017: €15,92.
November 2018: €49,70.

Thats another amazing increase of 312,19% compared to last year! As always my results are converted from their base currency to euro and are post-tax.
