Bert’s Quarterly Goals Review – Q3 2015
Even after writing my September Dividend Income Summary, I still can’t believe that the third quarter of 2015 has come to a close. Holy cow, where has all of the time gone? Just like Lanny, I perform a quarterly goal review to track my progress so I can make any necessary adjustments before it is too late. Let’s take a look at my progress through the first nine months of 2015!
Bert’s September Dividend Income Summary
September was a crazy month and it flew by. It felt like every day Lanny and I were either receiving a dividend, purchasing a stock, or watching for a dividend increase announcement. There was just a ton going on. September was also huge for me since I was able to knock out my first 2015 goal: Investing $15,000 in “New Capital” in 2015. With the recent downturn, I have felt as compelled as ever to maintain a low cash balance to purchase some great discounted dividend growth stocks. Now that the month is over, I can finally breathe and take a step back to assess my monthly dividend income and compare the total to prior periods. Let’s see the results for September.
Dividend Diplomats September Watch List
It’s about that time of the month everyone! The stock market has been wild and rampant, with dips, swings up, going upside down, normal side right, well you get the picture. The Dividend Diplomats have strung together a few companies we are analyzing during this month of September to see what we can create or add to within our portfolio. Essentially volatility can be great, if it means the companies are fundamentally strong but that overreaction to external and macro events are causing the push down in prices across the board – thus opening up opportunities for us dividend investors. Come and see what is on our dividend stock watch list!

Bert’s Recent Buy – 3M Company (MMM)
Well everyone, Lanny wasn’t the only one on this website to take advantage of the market downturn as he purchased JNJ earlier in the week. After finishing my recent obsession of building up my stake in IBM a few weeks ago, I began hoarding cash with a new target in mind. I have been monitoring this company on and off over the last year or so and the recent downturn in the market presented too good of an opportunity for me to continue sitting on the sideline. Let’s see which stock I purchased this week!
