Another month down. Holy smokes, we are only two months away from 2016. Man oh man does time fly by. Kind of scary when you think about it. Now that October has come to an end, it is time to put together my monthly dividend income summary and dissect one of the best feelings out there…receiving a dividend for doing absolutely nothing. Without further ado, let’s review my October dividend income summary!
The last one month has seen the stock price of the S&P 500 decline by more than 8%, and 8.22% to be exact (as of Labor Day weekend)! There are many things working AGAINST the market at this point in time – China, Oil prices, Canada officially in recession, as well as many other global crises occurring. However, and most importantly – I feel that consumer sentiment is also moving against the market, as the Michigan survey has indicated a downslide from July 2015 to August 2015. What does this stock market downturn mean for Dividend Investors? One Word. Opportunity. Continue reading
Ah, the beauty of being a dividend growth investor. There are many, er, most of us that still work for an employer that isn’t our own self. Most of us still work for a firm, a company, a business that pay us on a periodic basis throughout the year, whether that be hourly or salary.

Today… yes Today, I want to go through the power of the 401K match has on our dividend portfolios!
As time passes, so does a month of collecting dividend income. Five wild months are already in the books and the sun is shining here in Cleveland. Talk about a rarity these days. As spring is upon us, I think, it’s time to see what the 5th month of dividend income was able to bring. Now to the results
As time passes, so does a month of collecting dividend income. Four wild months are already in the books and the sun is shining here in Cleveland. Talk about a rarity these days. As spring is upon us, I think, it’s time to see what the 4th month of dividend income was able to bring and it marks 1/3 of the year being over. Now to the results
This post will be an investing lesson regarding a certain investing topic that dividend investors will occasionally use when they discuss performance and metrics. It is similar to your yield and is a huge proponent for how long you hold onto an investment, the activities that happen within that investment, as well as the pros and cons of measuring such a metric. The topic that I’d like to discuss today is the Yield on Cost or, as I like to call it – The YOC! And no… this is not the same thing as in the NFL or YAC (Yards after catch), close though! Let’s talk about The YOC! Continue reading
This week started out with a lot of excitement, at least for any dividend investors looking to initiate a long-term position. Right out of the gate, the market began to slide and reached its lowest point by mid-day Tuesday. Luckily, for both Lanny and me, we were able to catch the market at its lowest point and purchase some new/additional shares for our portfolio.
