Dividend Stocks Portfolio (Update) - September 2015

Here is the recent update to our dividend stocks portfolio – September 2015.

SALES 

This past month we did not sell off any shares from our family's dividend stock portfolio.  But since we did not sell any shares throughout the month of August, that also means that our annual dividends did not decrease either

TOTAL VALUE OF ALL SALES: $0.00

OVERALL DECREASE TO ANNUAL DIVIDENDS: $0.00

 
 

PURCHASES

The momentum of our  stock buying activity this past month continued from previous two months. In fact, I am happy to report that we ended the month of August with a record setting 17 BUY transactions, with a total of $6,010.05 in new capital put to workAll in all, great month with lots of solid companies out there at attractive prices. Hope it continues!! we certainly would like to keep this momentum going for a 4th consecutive month. :)

Many DGI bloggers had similar success as evident in our recent post: Collection of RECENT BUYS (Summary) - August 2015 

TRADE COUNTER

We are blessed to have a PMA trading account with Wells Fargo Investments.  With our PMA trading account, we receive 100 FREE trades a year!  How awesome is that?!? So far, we've used a total of 92 trades out of 100.  Our trade counter will reset on 9/15/2015. That means we only have only 11 more days to use our remaining 8 free trades before our trade counter resets. We have a few limit orders set but I don't think they will execute. Whether we use all 100 free trades or not does not matter to me...I'm just happy to know that none of our trades this year came with any commissions! 

DIVIDENDS

During the past month,  our family received dividends from a total of 9 companies/ETFs/Partnerships!! The total dividends received from those 9 companies/ETFs was: $158.48.

For the past month, we receive the following dividends:


WELLS FARGO INVESTMENT ACCOUNT:
8/3/15 -  VZ (Verizon Comm Co): $19.25
8/3/15 -  DE (Deere & Co): $10.80
8/3/15 -  T (AT&T Inc): $18.96

8/14/15 - OKS (Oneok Partners Lp): $9.48
8/14/15 - KMI (Kinder Morgan Inc): $11.27

8/17/15 - OHI (Omega Healthcare REIT
): $5.50
8/21/15 - ARTNA (Artesian Resources Corp): $19.65

* OKS payment was a partnership distribution, not dividends.

    1. Lanny - definitely feeling blessed to have had the opportunity to lower our cost basis in so many stocks. We are ready to extend the buying spree should these values continue into Septemebr and October. As a long term investor, we love the buying opportunities of these market corrections. This one was long awaited!

      Best wishes, AFFJ

  4. Wow, that's an impressive total for new purchases for the month. Congrats on that. No doubt your next three months of dividend income should reflect a nice up tick. Lots of great buys all with pretty high current yields as prices dropped. Why not take advantage of a hurting BNS, EMR, CVX and more. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

    1. Thanks DivHut...blessed to have the means to put that capital to work. It truly felt like we were black Friday shopping this past month. Hoping the sales continue for September and beyond.

      Yes, we can't wait for future update posts. Should see increased dividends for sure. Dividends that we plan to put to use immediately. :)

      Thanks for stopping by and commenting. AFFJ

  5. Great great month AFFJ!

    $6K worth of capital is working for you now, how great that is ? :)

    Wish we could have this "100 free trades per year" in Canada! You guys have some incredible option as broker!

    Keep it up
    Steph

    1. Steph - It certainly is a great feeling knowing we picked up shares in companies at attractive prices and yields. We plan to one day use our dividends to supplement our retirement so the faster they grow and compound, the faster we get to FI. :)

      Our 100 free trades is a blessing. I've heard from others that new account holders no longer get the free trades. We are definitely luck to be the fortunate few left with this benefit.

      Until the next post. Cheers! AFFJ

  6. Great month for you - CONGRATS! I plan on doing what you did this month and will put in orders tonight to hopefully execute during more volatility. Plenty of good buys coming between now and the end of the year for sure.

    1. Thanks Dividend Driven. We are hoping the sales continue as well. We actually transferred some more capital and have approximately 10 limit orders set to buy on further dips.

      Hope we both get opportunities from now til the end of the year to add more dividends to our our passive income stream. Best wishes! AFFJ
