November 2016 Dividend Income

November is officially done and gone and it is that time once again to tally up all of them dollars that were sent by the greatest companies around the world. It is the beautiful thing of being a shareholder and part owner in these amazing businesses that continuously grow and redistribute the profits to the part owners all around the country and the world. Obviously I am doing it still on a small scale, but I can truly imagine what it truly could be over time. The strategy is simple and even sometimes boring how simple, thought the commitment and dedication over time is the hard part. I foresee myself doing this for many more years, because life is all about sowing new seeds, watching them grow and then planting new ones when future comes. Anyways, here are the dividends earned and possible inspiration.

I enjoy publishing these monthly dividend income reports as I have gained a much better understanding in how much of my passive income is coming in every month and how much it is growing over time. For the month of November, I have received a total of 9 diversified direct deposits in the form of dividends straight to my brokerage account. The new one on the list is STAG, which will be providing monthly income from here on out.

 

AT&T, Inc. (T)	$51.26
General Mills, Inc. (GIS)	$22.02
Verizon Communications, Inc. (VZ)	$24.26
Apple, Inc. (AAPL)	$22.58
Kinder Morgan, Inc. (KMI)	$20.22
Procter & Gamble Co. (PG)	$27.05
Realty Income Corp. (O)	$9.80
STAG Industrial, Inc. (STAG)	$5.21
Costco Wholesale Corp. (COST)	$5.85
Total	$188.25

 

When statistically comparing last years dividend income total from November 2015 to November 2016, it represents a negative 16.8% for a year over year decreased dividend growth. As previously mentioned, the negative growth is primarily due to KMI reducing their divided shareholder payout when they were having debt/credit rating issues. The growth difference from last quarter is positive 3.5% for a quarter over quarter increased dividend growth.

I will DRIP the following upcoming month: BKE, COP, KMI, MAT, TROW & VIAB.

The dividend income page is updated accordingly.

Thank you for reading & have a great day!
