Bert’s March Dividend Stock Purchases

Last week, I released my March dividend income summary.  Typically, I’ll show my stock purchases in the summary article.  However, in March, I made a lot of low dollar stock purchases, as the market showed its twists and turns.  As a result, I decided to split the articles so I can discuss some of the purchases in greater detail.  This article will summarize my March dividend stock purchases.

Bert’s April Dividend Stock Watch List

The last month has been unlike anything I have experienced as a dividend investor.  I primarily started investing in 2011 and 2012, well after the the market calmed down after the financial crisis.  There have been blips since then (Oil prices collapsing in 2016, for example), but nothing close to the magnitude of what we are experiencing now.  It is most important that we all remain healthy.  But after that, my family and I are trying to make the right financial and investment decisions. Because after all, as we are unfortunately seeing, you cannot predict what tomorrow will bring. So today, I spent some time researching dividend growth stocks and built my April dividend stock watch list.

Expected Dividend Increases in April 2020 (Hopefully)

My oh my.  What a difference a month makes.  In last month’s article, we discussed how dividend growth slowed and there may be an economic slowdown.  This month, it is a completely different story.  The coronavirus, COVID-19, pandemic has spread and the economic impact has been unlike anything I have ever seen.  The impact on individuals, small business and corporations is changing on a daily basis.  For many companies, they are rethinking their 2020 strategic visions and changing their dividends & capital strategies on the fly.  It will be tough to predict the expected dividend increases in 2020; however, we will highlight the companies that have historically announced dividend increases in April.
