Last weekend, Lanny and I put together a watch list and man was I determined to purchase one of the two stocks I was watching. I know I couldn’t have gone wrong picking either of the stocks; however, I only had enough capital to purchase one. Which stock was it? Let’s take a look and find out.
I am very glad I have set a realistic, attainable goal this year and am churning my way to it. I remember last year, I was sprinting past my 2014 goals early and often, but this year definitely is different. This year is harder, this year is more strategic, this year takes much more effort than usual. My goal by the end of the year is to have a projected $6,750 in forward-looking dividend income, and well – this month has allowed me to reach closer to the goal, but to also cross a milestone along the path. This month events and activities have allowed me to Crush through $6,000 in projected dividend income!

Man oh man does it feel weird to be writing one of these articles again. Similar to Lanny, I had taken a few months off of writing an income and expense article for a variety of reasons. Through switching jobs again, traveling for my old job, and insert any life activity, time has been at a premium. Enough with the excuses from my end! While Lanny performed a 3 month income summary earlier in the month, I decided to forgo summarizing the last three months and instead focus solely on July. But don’t worry, I will update our Savings Challenge page to display the last 3 months since one of my annual goals is to defeat the Dividend Diplomats Savings Challenge 6 times this year! Let’s see how I performed in July.
It’s already mid-August and us Diplomats haven’t came out with our watch list yet. The market has been a rollercoaster ride, to which I hope everyone this summer has had some sort of an amusement happen, gone to a theme park, taken a day or so off to take it all in. Well, we were back to the lab and doing research on finding what stocks we are looking at. Enough with it – lets see what is on our August watch list!
I’m back at it again! The market again, has taken a downturn south and one of my newly created positions from last month went on sale this week/today more specifically. Sometimes… if you have the idle cash it’s best to use that and average down a position that you want to build, buy more income for less and smile as you do it. I was lucky enough to do just that, I made a purchase today to a position I already have. Let’s take a look on who that was.
We first published this article in May and decided to bring it back for another installment this July! One of the best aspects of the dividend growth community is the sharing of knowledge, ideas, and motivation that assist each and every one of us in our relentless pursuit of financial freedom. This article will contain a summary of July Dividend Income blog posts throughout the community. They are in no particular order and if we inadvertently omitted our income summary, please share your results in the comments section and we will do our best to include you going forward. July was a huge month for the two of us, so let’s see if the dividend investing community shared similar successes!
Well.. the market keeps saying- buy me, buy me, and there are opportune stocks everywhere at the moment, in my book. I took advantage of a recent price slide on a stock that many have been purchasing over the last month, including the one and only – Bert. I took a page out of his book and couldn’t be more thankful that he founded them in his screener and made my life a little easier. Thanks again Bert for doing that, I appreciate it. I had capital that finally was able to transfer over, now let’s see who, how much and why I bought this stock.
