This article originally appeared on The Div-Net on November 3, 2011 Dividends. There are few words I like writing or speaking more.

September’s dividend income numbers are fresh off the press and I’m writing today to present them to you.

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 […]

One of my favorite things to write about is receiving dividends. This is the juicy part of dividend growth investing. Typically my investments won’t experience the kind of wild swings that growth investments will, so the excitement for me comes when I review the previous month’s dividend income.
