June 2021 was an all-time high month for dividend income at $763.35. It is great to see these amounts continue to grow. Now let's take a look at my transactions performed in June.

Buys

Buys	Qty
AFL	1
DGX	5
JNJ	3
MSFT	4
UGI	16

• Aflac (AFL): 1 share was purchased, which usually happens when I am trying to use up the last of the available money for trading after making other transactions for that week. This 1 share adds $1.32 in forward 12-month income.

• Quest Diagnostics (DGX): 5 shares purchased. This is a new position, as one of the few that still exists at a value. This is due to the fact that its recent earnings performance has been rather good,but the stock price has not been rising at the same rate. So, I have been buying up shares at every opportunity going into July as well. These 5 shares adds $12.40 in forward 12-month income.

• Johnson & Johnson (JNJ): 3 shares purchased, which adds $12.72 in forward 12-month income.

• Microsoft (MSFT): 4 shares purchased, which adds $8.96 in forward 12-month income.

• UGI (UGI): 16 shares were purchased, which adds $22.08 in forward 12-month income. 

All totaled, these purchases will add $57.48 in forward 12-month income.

As mentioned before, June 2021 was an all-time high for dividend income. Chances are, I'll be hitting all-time highs pretty regularly for the 3rd month of the quarter as long as I am able to keep contributing to the portfolio.

Comparison with Previous Quarter and Year

Now, taking a look at some comparisons with the previous quarter and year,

	%Chg Qtr	%Chg Year
Jun 2021	7.70%	61.05%
Q2 2021	12.24%	39.43%

The June 2021 income has increased 7.7% compared with 3 months prior, and 61.05% compared with June 2020. For further comparison, the income for Q2 2021 compared with Q1 2021 showed a 12.24% increase, and when compared with Q2 2020, there was a nice 39.43% increase.

These are all signs that things are going in the right direction. With being able to regularly invest, the dividend income is on a steady rise. Thankfully, there have been no dividend cuts to slow it down.
