August 2016 Dividends
I'm a bit late on this report, but better late than never. August was a good month, so I'm happy to report on my results. Taxable Accounts: Abbott Labs (ABT) - $9.10 Amerigas (APU) - $24.00 Apple (AAPL) - $3.99 AT&T (T) - $13.12 Prospect Capital (PSEC) - $18.97 Verizon (VZ) - $1.13 Taxable Account Total: $70.31 Roth IRA Account: Abbott Labs (ABT) - $6.50 TD Bank (TD) - $9.26 Roth IRA Total: $15.76 Overall Total Dividend Income for August 2016: $86.07 Forward 12-month Projected Dividend Income: $1,193.07 My Thoughts: This was a nice bounce-back month for me, as July was the low month of the last quarter. Buying shares of ABT while below $40/share definitely paid off, and it is a joy to see the dividends growing. It was also good to see a TD Bank dividend shortly after starting a position (just before the Ex-Dividend date). For some perspective, let's take a look at my dividend history: Month 2014 2015 2016 January $14.38 $14.42 February $49
