January 2021 Dividends

Hello everyone, thanks again for stopping by.

It's time once again for a summary of dividends received for the previous month. We have passed one month already into 2021, and well on our way into the new year, so it is time to look back at that first month's dividend income.

Let's now get to it, and take a look at the results from January:

January 2020 Dividend Summary

January 2021 Transactions

Let's now take a look at transactions for January:

There were a few buys throughout the month, indicated by the table below:

BuysQty
AFL24
IBM3
KR47

  • Aflac (AFL): I purchased 24 additional shares. This results in $26.88 in forward yearly income.
  • IBM (IBM): I purchased 3 additional shares. This results in $19.56 in forward yearly income.
  • Kroger (KR): I purchased 47 additional shares. This results in $30.08 in forward yearly income.


All totaled, these buys add $76.52 in forward yearly income. Extrapolating this to 12 months of similar buys, would result in $918.24 in additional yearly income, almost an extra $1,000 per year!


There were no sells in January.


Dividend Income History

Now, let's take a look at Dividend Income History, in tabular and graphical form:

Nov$48.79$50.11$103.31$158.18$184.42$167.86$241.77
Dec$63.55$49.89$168.03$234.71$255.99$315.70$603.75



Change from Last Quarter/Year

At this point, I typically show the amount of change compared with the previous quarter and year. This is shown in the table below


%Chg Qtr%Chg Yr
Jan 202167.43%-6.86%


There was a nice, healthy increase compared with the last quarter (October 2020 dividend income), mainly due to recent buys of UGI (UGI Corp.), but there was a slight decrease compared with the January 2020 dividend income. This is likely due to the NOBL  (ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF) payouts moving from the first month of a quarter to late in the 3rd month of the previous quarter. 

Although a little disappointing with the decrease from year to year, I am sure when we reach year-end, the tally for 2021 will end up looking very good in comparison with 2020 (all the differences caused by payouts moving in and out of certain months should even out).


Wrap-Up

So there you have it, the dividend income results from January 2021. As mentioned, I believe it will look better once things shake out by the end of the year. 

How was your January? 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
