Monthly Update - June 2012

My total dividend payments for June were $212.44.  This is the first time I've broken $200 in a month.  I was also able to add 68 shares of WAG to my portfolio.  You can see this purchase mentioned on this post.

I have increased my forward 12-month dividends to $1690.71 from $1607.59.  This is an increase of $83.12 or $6.93/month.  I have updated this on my dividends tab.  I only need to increase these dividends by $309.29 to meet my goal of $2000 in forward 12-month dividends.  If my purchases average 3.5% yields then I will need to accumulate another $8836.85 worth of new stocks.  

On another note, I was able to close on my new house this past Friday.  This is very exciting and will keep me busy all month with moving and getting things set up.  I will also be working on renting out the condo I was living in.  This will be my second rental property.

  1. Awesome -- good work on breaking the $200 monthly mark! I see you have a ton of stocks on a Mar-Jun-Sep-Dec dividend payment schedule.

    Closing on your new house is indeed exciting. I hope the moving and setup goes smoothly for you.

    1. Thanks Deedubs. It's nice to start seeing an upward monthly progression of dividends. I wish the dividends were spread out a little better but I'm still in the beginning of a building phase so I'm not too worried about it.

      It's going to be a busy month due to the house so I doubt I'll have any purchases. I do have some options that may get assigned in a couple of weeks though. If they get assigned I'll post the updates.
