Last month, I received over $475 dividends from 19 different companies.
Basically, I own a few tiny portions of high-quality blue-chip companies, and those companies work hard, make money and share their profit with me and other shareholders in the form of dividends.
I receive the money as pure cash and buy more shares of the companies when they go through a temporary setback.
If I don’t find good value, I pay down some debts and improve my buying power.
In addition, most of the stocks in my portfolios increase their dividends at least once a year. Therefore, I receive even more money even if I don’t add new money to work.
This simple dividend investing strategy really works for me. I was able to build decent size investment portfolios, which could generate around $11800 dividend income in the next 12 months (estimated income).
As many of you know, I am in the assets accumulation stage. Thus, I rarely sell investments unless they get acquired by other companies or any major changes in their business models.
Recently, I decided to sell two of my positions in my Canadian dividend portfolio because of the reason I mentioned above.
And, I haven’t yet purchased new investments from the money raised from the sales. For now, I just paid down some debts and may consider borrow back and buy new investments in the coming weeks or months.
As a result, my dividend income may take a temporary minor hit in the coming months, and also my debt level has dropped to below my 2019 goal. I will discuss more these recent changes in the next portfolio update post.
As always, I strongly encourage readers to consult a qualified financial adviser, consider potential tax implications and to do their own proper due diligence before taking any information from this website.
Let’s get back to the numbers.
I received $477.56 dividend in November 2019, which is 6.21% higher than the dividend I received in November 2018.
