Over the last year and a half, we have had the pleasure of getting to know a ton of great people through our interaction in the dividend investing community. There are some truly special people out there doing some amazing things. We aren’t committing to a series, but periodically we wanted to take the opportunity to interview and share with others in the community some of our favorite dividend investors/bloggers in the community. It is our pleasure to publish our first ever Dividend Investor Interivew. In this installment, we had a Q&A session with Dividend Hustler.

September Dividend Income from YOU the Bloggers
September is over and a lot of us haven taken the first few weeks of October to look back and reflect on the crazy month of September. The turbulent market presented many great buying opportunities, as evidenced by what felt like a daily purchase article on our website, and benefits such as DRIPing at a lower price. Preparing a dividend income summary article that includes the results of a few others in the community (I wish we could include all) has been a pleasure over the last few months. It allows us to share our successes together and push each other to knock out our goals so we can all escape this insane rat race. We all have the same end game after all! Let’s dive into the September edition of our monthly community dividend income summary.
Bert’s Recent Buy – EMR…too
Yesterday was a very fun day for me as I quickly went from a passive trader who was standing to the sideline in a matter of minutes. My purchase on Friday shared a lot of parallels with a situation from a month or two ago, which resulted in learning a valuable investing about always having a watch list prepared. The best part…the result was different and I couldn’t be happier. See why I purchased Emerson Electric (EMR) yesterday.
Weekend Reading – Sunday Night Edition
Happy Sunday everyone. The weather has been beautiful here in Cleveland and August could not have started off any better. It has been a great weekend in the dividend investing community as well and we have spent some time reading a lot of great articles this weekend. It is an infrequent occurrence here on our website, but we wanted to take some time and put together a brief list of some of the articles we thought were great reads. Let’s take a look at our Weekend Reading list, the Sunday Night edition!
Bert’s June Dividend Income Summary
June is coming to a close and you know what that means….we are officially halfway through 2015! That’s right, our year is nearly 50% completed. Are you kidding me?? It seems like just yesterday that I was writing my 2015 goals article and trying to scheme about how I am going to knock these goals off. This month is one of my favorite dividend months as most of my portfolio pays out in third month of the quarter, so this is always one of my favorite articles to write! Let’s see how I performed in June and if I was able to knock of Lanny, who had one heck of a month as well racking up nearly $850 in dividend income!
Bert’s Recent Purchase – NSC
Man has it been a busy couple of weeks purchasing stock and I couldn’t think of a better reason to be busy. Lanny purchased shares of Johnson and Johnson recently, and I am pretty jealous of him. JNJ is a great company and is a foundation stock that should belong in every dividend investors portfolio at some point. Nice pickup Lanny! But I couldn’t let him purchase stock without a response, right? So I also decided to purchase stock this week, and it is a company that fills a void in my portfolio. Let’s see which company was added this week!
Bert’s March Dividend Income
The first quarter is officially in the books and we have completed one dividend cycle for the majority of companies. 2015 has started off with a bang for me, recording record dividend growth rates in the first two months (190% in January and 79% in February), as my portfolio has grown exponentially since the same time last year. I know that rate is not sustainable and surely will decrease to a lower amount – however, my monthly income will continue to grow nonetheless! After all, the amount of capital needed to sustain a 190% monthly dividend growth rate would be insane! But I am not complaining, I am blessed to be in the position I am in and am happy that I have joined this community that pushes each one of us to continue to grow our income, whether that be 1% or 1400%. It is even easier to push yourself when you have a a friend like Lanny who is killing it in terms of dividend income, as he nearly eclipsed $800 in March. What better motivation is there than watching the success of one of your best friends? With that being said, let’s take a look at the dividend income that I received in March!
