Bert’s February Dividend Income Summary

Posted on March 10, 2019 by DividendDiplomats

Wow. February was a blur for so many different reasons. With a blink of an eye, we find ourselves entering the third month of the year. While personally, things many have been fuzzy, our dividend income continues to roll in, along with the dividend increases. I swear, there was a new dividend increase announced every day in February! Lanny has kicked off our blog’s dividend income summaries and it will be tough to follow his $628 act. But I’ll give it a shot. Here is my February dividend income summary!

Bert’s Recent Purchase – AbbVie (ABBV)

Posted on February 16, 2019 by DividendDiplomats

On most occasions, us Diplomats are on the same page with stock purchases. Since we are always sharing our thoughts, ideas, and analyses, chances are that if one Diplomat purchases a stock, there is a good chance the other one did as well. This happened when the two of us initiated a position in ABBV in the fourth quarter and it happened once again in January when ABBV’s price fell through the floor. Lanny wrote out his purchase of ABBV and WRK this week, and now it is my turn. Here is why I added to ABBV!

Bert’s January Dividend Income Summary

Posted on February 8, 2019 by DividendDiplomats

I’m writing this article in the final minutes of the Super Bowl. This wasn’t the most exciting game to watch and there was a lot less scoring than anticipated. It was nice to receive a dividend from the official halftime show sponsor, Pepsi, this month. Luckily, even though the game wasn’t too exciting, that wasn’t the case with our January dividend income summaries. Lanny kicked off our site’s dividend income summaries with an impressive $777 dividend haul. Incredible results Lanny! How lucky of a number is that by the way?? It is a tough mark to beat, but here is the question, could I possibly have topped him this month?

Why I Purchased Shares of Dominion Energy (D)

Posted on January 21, 2019 by DividendDiplomats

January has been off to an interesting start. Lanny has crushed it with his stock purchases over the last 30 days, adding some serious dividend income to his total. Me, not so much. I’ve been on the sidelines for a while now and talked about how frustrated that was making me in my last dividend income summary. Now, that’s no longer the case and I’ve finally made my first stock purchase of 2019. As the title suggests, I purchased shares of Dominion Energy recently and here are some of the main reasons why.

Bert’s Recent Stock Purchase – United Parcel Services (UPS)

Posted on December 14, 2018 by DividendDiplomats

The start to December has provided some rocky moments in the market, to say the least. There was a new stock that popped up on my screener (which will also be on my watch list going forward at these levels). It is the holiday season and I’m sure you have seen their delivery trucks buzzing around the neighborhood. Here is why I have initiated a position in United Parcel Services (UPS).
