Dividend Income Update – April 2011

My favorite articles always involve updating dividend income, and this month is no different. My dividend income dipped a little bit from last month, and this is no surprise. As I’ve stated before, until my portfolio grows substantially I’ll have ups and downs in the dividend income. I’m still in the building phase, and the journey is always more exciting than the destination.

April 2011 Dividends Received

  • KO – $9.40
  • WMT – $7.30
  • MO – $19.76
  • PM – $22.40
  • SYY – $7.54

Total dividends received for the month of April: $66.40.

Another solid month, in my opinion. I’ve been investing in dividend growth stocks for just about 1 year now, and I feel like I’ve made tremendous progress. I believe it won’t be long before my dividends regularly eclipse the $100 mark monthly.

I’m still behind my goal of producing $1,200 in total dividends for the year of 2011. I have produced a total of $223.41 for the first four months of the year. I am still a long way off from my goal, but I’m excited about gaining some ground in the second half of the year!

I have updated my dividend income page to reflect April’s dividends.

Thanks for reading.

    I’m a fan of Colgate. I’ve wanted to purchase shares with CL for a long time, but it’s almost always out of my range. Fantastic company. I’m a little cautious with GE. We’ll see how things continue to go, but I’m sure you’ll do well with it. I’d like to see a few years of dividend raises after the cut.

    Take care, and thanks for stopping by!
