September 2020 Dividends

Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by.

These months seem to go by quicker and quicker. Unfortunately, I have been occupied by some things, so I have been delayed in writing this. I am overdue for a monthly dividend update, but better late than never, so I'll be looking at the dividends that were paid out in September 2020 (only a quarter left to go to finish out this "unique" year!)

The October report will be coming soon.

With these pleasantries out of the way, let's get to it.

September Transactions

This all-time high is a function of steady buys made over time, and so we'll now take a look at the buys for September:

BuysQty
AFL22
AMP2
UGI20


  • Aflac (AFL): 22 shares purchased, adding to my existing position. These 22 shares add $24.64 to my forward 12-month dividend income. 
  • Ameriprise (AMP): 2 shares purchased, adding to my existing position. These 2 shares add $8.32 to my forward 12-month dividend income.
  • UGI Corp. (UGI): 20 shares purchased, adding to my existing position. These 20 shares add $26.40 to my forward 12-month dividend income.

All totaled, my September purchases will add $59.36 to my forward 12-month dividend income. 

There were no sells for September


Dividend Income History

Now let's take a look at September in relation to my dividend income history, both in tabular and graphical form:

Month2014201520162017201820192020
Jan0$14.38$14.42$70.45$72.34$97.11$237.62
Feb0$49.07$50.38$112.01$190.55$178.07$204.19
Mar0$50.22$52.16$182.28$232.83$231.81$422.58
Apr0$10.83$27.91$64.56$78.40$70.34$204.78
May0$46.52$59.42$132.14$162.41$187.18$220.09
Jun$6.69$47.51$90.97$198.86$259.18$195.35$473.99
Jul0$18.99$51.37$168.64$102.00$80.81$219.55
Aug$33.96$50.11$86.07$156.46$183.50$192.45$220.94
Sep$54.75$55.61$101.70$226.17$192.40$211.61$579.94
Oct$10.94$14.42$72.53$79.06$133.64$78.18
Nov$48.79$50.11$103.31$158.18$184.42$167.86
Dec$63.55$49.89$168.03$234.71$255.99$315.70




September gave me an all time high for monthly income, though the payment for NOBL usually happens in the next month, but it came a bit early. So when payments come around for December, I would expect the tally to come in lower then. No complaints, I'll take the payments as they come.


Comparisons to Previous Quarter and Year

Let's now take a look at comparisons with the previous quarter and the previous year:

%Chg Qtr%Chg Year
Sep 202022.35%174.06%

As shown on the table above, in relation to the last quarter (June 2020), dividend income increased by 22.35%. It is a substantial increase over a quarter, but a good piece of that is likely due to the NOBL payout.

Also, as shown in the table above, dividend income increased in the past year by a whopping 174.06%, as the total more than doubled from the September 2019 total. Now that I have a more regular contribution schedule for investments, I expect this to continue.

Conclusion

So that is a wrap for September. Although coming late, how was your September? Let me know below in the comments!

March 2017 Dividends

Image
Another month gone, and here we are in April. A great time to summarize my dividend income for March 2017. I've made a conscious effort, to not procrastinate with these updates, as I had a stretch where I was not publishing these until the next month was half over! Not a good look. To keep this top of mind, I decided to get on the ball once the month to be summarized ends. So here we are. As you follow along, you'll see as I did, that this turned to be a pretty good month! Let's get to the summary: Taxable Accounts Intel (INTC) - $2.86 Cummins (CMI) - $8.20 Target (TGT) - $28.80 Emerson (EMR) - $4.80 Compass Minerals (CMP) - $7.20 Flower Foods (FLO) - $18.88 Prospect Capital (PSEC) - $20.05 Qualcomm (QCOM) - $27.98 VF Corp.

Regret and Hope

My feelings while engaging in investing, seem to exist on the spectrum between these two extremes: Regret I've only been investing outside of my 401(k) for a couple years. Once I started (a year before turning 40), and began understanding what I was doing, my initial feelings, beyond the initial excitement of "getting in the game", were feelings of regret. I was virtually kicking myself multiple times for starting this so late. First off, by this time I could have had a much bigger portfolio, paying much higher in dividends by now, if I had started upon employment after college. I might even be close to that early retirement number by now. Second, I think of all the money up to this point that was spent on nonsense that is either gone down the drain, or tied up in things that are sitting in my place of residence that I no longer use (my girlfriend and I will be soon starting a de-cluttering activity for my place to rid myself of such items). Now, I understand
