October 2021 Dividend Income
Usually October is fairly milder dividend income month of the year, but it looks like it was just hit out of the park for this month. All very special thanks to $ORI, my all time favorite industry of domination – insurance. Who doesn’t like premiums for promises. I know I do, especially when some of the finest lawyers draw up the promises with entanglement of rules and requirements. Definitely the MVP for the dividend income month with a huge special dividend distribution to its owners. But I think the best fact is that $ORI paid a regular dividend of $75.90 just last month (September). Not that $ORI is a stranger to special dividends, it has been paying them almost on yearly basis, more info here. To many more years ahead!
