At a low compared to its peak.
Steady business earnings and dividend increases for decades.

June 2018 Dividends Received
Here is the income from dividends I received in June 2018.
All dividends were reinvested back in even more shares.
I'm very happy with the progress. $1240 is a lot of money when I first started. And now I get that in one month. I plot below the actual dividends I have received since I started. The trend is moving in the right direction.
