Finally… a trigger has been pulled, the market has had a pull back and Bert, the Jewish one, did not also purchase the same stock I did this time around, joking Bert. I had been eager to add to my dividend income producing stocks, and the time for me was right. Since I am an auditor in the financial institutions realm and don’t have too much exposure to banking – that is what step I ended up taking. Let’s take a look at the purchase.

Lanny’s 2nd Quarter Goals Check Up
Now that 2 full quarter’s are in the book, it’s a great time to see where I stand in comparison to Q1, but also to the 2015 goals I set for myself towards the end of last year. It has been such a unique year thus far, and 6 months have come and gone. Question I have to find out now is – am I hitting my goals? Am I on pace to somehow reach those items I set?

Mr. Market taking a Turn
Good old Mr. Market. It has been an interesting last week plus, given the overall market condition lately. Greece did not make their debt payment and it felt like the whole stock world shook from the news, as well as other macro events.

To me, that’s how you get the most bang for your buck in this kind of market environment. While I was very close to following Lanny’s lead and purchasing JNJ, one of my favorite dividend stocks, there is still one stock I wanted to analyze to see if it would be a better fit for my portfolio. So now, it is time to dive in and perform a stock analysis of Genuine Parts Company.
Bert’s May Dividend Income Summary
What a month it has been. The Cavs began their postseason push, the weather was beautiful, I had a nice vacation to New England, and I received some nice dividend checks this month! What could be better. Over the weekend, Lanny put together a rock solid list highlighting the dividend income received by some of you in the dividend investing community. And I must say, that was one impressive list and it was fun to see how well everyone else performed. It helps me focus and continue to push myself to build income streams as large as all of yours. Some great motivation! Anyways, Lanny left one person off of the list…me. What the heck Lanny? So let’s fix that and see how well I stacked up against myself and others during the month of May.
