Lanny’s June Dividend Income Summary

Another month towards financial freedom.  Can you taste it?  I know I am starting to.  However, though sweet the taste this is, it’ll be very “sweet” once the dividend income trumps all expenses in a given month.  We are not quite there yet, but in time, this will happen.  Proof has been in the pudding, as you’ve seen throughout the years of writing articles, and May is no different.

Well, I’ll start by addressing the elephant in the room for dividend investors.  There isn’t much value out there.  Especially as interest rates continue to fall (thanks for the detailed analysis on the impact of interest rates Lanny) .  Still, after talking to Lanny on the phone Saturday night about our portfolios, I realized there still are a few companies trading at a discount.   So I decided to dust off the Dividend Diplomats Stock Screener and put a watch list together.  Here are the three companies on my Dividend Stock Watch List for June and July.

Bert’s May Dividend Income Summary

Lanny said it best in his stock purchase article…the month of May was actually wild!  Every day presented a new twist, turn, and market swing.  I would transfer cash to my brokerage and get ready to make a purchase.  Then boom, the market would swing upward.  Despite the madness, the dividend income continued to flow.  After all, that’s part of the beauty of dividend investing.   Lanny published great dividend income results this month.  As always, he is a tough act to follow.
