May 2019 Dividends Received

Here is a tally of the dividends received in May. Amounts are in US Dollars.
May for my portfolio is a light month due to the type of stocks I picked in my portfolio. Most stocks pay once every quarter, a few like Realty Income (O) pay every month. Some companies pay twice a year, such as some foreign companies with ADR listings in the USA. I prefer quarterly paying companies with qualified dividends based in USA.

In a well diversified portfolio, one will be able to receive dividend income every month. Some companies pay on 1/4/7/10 months, some pay 2/5/8/11, and some 3/6/9/12. Some may have slips or do dividends earlier instead of following a strict +3 month cycle. For example some may do 3/6/9/1 (as December slips into January).

It is important to focus on the quarterly moving average. Or compare months inside the same quarter (i.e. 1/4/7/10 or 2/5/8/11) if one has mainly quarterly paying companies. Tracking the growth on a comparable basis is important o know if one's portfolio is growing in the right way.

In June I am expecting $1700 and July $1750 in dividends.

  3. That is a great looking trend line. I am a lot like you in the fact that I pay attention to my quarterly totals as well as my monthly totals. Some years back I wrote an article about how I don't care which months my dividends are paid because I am in the accumulating stage of investing. You had some great results in May and I look forward to seeing your results for June! Thanks for sharing!!!

  4. Like your portfolio, but seems like you don't pay attention to price. Ex: your recent purchase of BA done at ATH.
