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
January 2019: €52,21

Thats another amazing increase of 585,31% 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)?

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.

July 2018 Dividend Report

So after completing my buying spree last month I took some well deserved time off the grid. Well not completely off but far removed 🙂 After being back in the office for a week I really needed to readjust back into the groove. Although I love my job, it hit me again that it would be fantastic to truely be a master of your own time. Oh well, only thing I can do is do my utmost best to create my own future. For myself and for my family.

Cool thing about being a DGI investor is that you get paid for doing nothing! I estimated that I would earn about €1,- a day during my vacation totalling €21,-. Let’s see how well I estimated this.

A total of 8 companies payed me this month:

Date	Ticker	Shares	Amount (€)
03/07/2018	PPL	23	6.87
03/07/2018	PEP	5	3.37
04/07/2018	KMB	5	3.64
13/07/2018	HASI	15	3.59
16/07/2018	O	23	3.67
17/07/2018	CAH	5	1.73
26/07/20148	CSCO	10	2.4
27/07/2018	DIS	2	1.22
			€26,49

So this means I actually earned about 17,94 during my vacation. Not too shabby! For the sharp observer you can also notice that this €26,49 is my new alltime dividend record!

So this means my progress so far this year is coming along nicely:

And so far so good on my 2018 goals:

Total dividend YTD 2018: €142.
Total dividend received ever: €230,79.

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

July 2017: €6,55.
July 2018: €26,49.

Thats another amazing increase of 404,43% compared to last year!

June 2018 Dividend Report

Although we’re really looking forward to a well deserved vacation, its not our time yet. So here are the numbers for June. Alas no personal record for me this month (Solid second highest ever though!), but I’m still excited about the growth as you’ll see later in the post.

Total dividend YTD 2018: €115,51 (which is almost €30 more then our 2017 total!)
Total dividend received ever: €204,30.

April 2018 Dividend Report

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?
