Dividend Stocks Portfolio (UPDATE) - March 2016

Here is the recent update to our dividend stocks portfolio – March 2016.

SALES 

It has been a while since we have sold any shares from our dividend stocks portfolio. But this past month, with the recovery we've seen since late February, we decided to sell a few shares of a company from our family's dividend stocks portfolio. Unfortunately, the recent sell does impact our annual dividends. 

03/16/16 - FTR (Frontier Communications) - 100 shares/$5.2999
  • Original Cost Basis:
    • 29.80 shares/$2.28 on 5/7/2012
    • 70.20 shares/$2.15 on 6/7/2012
    • Original cost: $219.11
    • Total value of sale: $529.99
    • Net Profit: $310.88
    • Overall Decrease to annual dividends: $42.00


PURCHASES

After logging in a total of 12 buys for a total of $4,500.64 in January, we didn't make any buys for our family's dividend stocks portfolio for the second straight month. We started the year off on a strong note. But with the recover we've seen for approximately 5-7 weeks now, we've decided to stock pile cash and wait for the next pull back. We will be more than ready, if or, when the next pull back occurs. I'm reading a few articles that the upcoming earnings could be that opportunity I've been waiting for.  Let's hope so because it not easy to see your money remain idle for months. :)
TOTAL SPENT ON NEW ACQUISITION: $0

OVERALL INCREASE TO ANNUAL DIVIDENDS$0

Our estimated annual income currently stands at $3,839 (including our Edward Jones account) or and average of approximately $320/month.

  2. Congrats on the $300 mark in dividends. It's getting to the point where your monthly dividend income will start feeding itself. Do you DRIP?

  3. Nice job! It will only continue to grow! I myself am trying to build a portfolio but waiting for a market pull back or some stability in the market to make sure I don't invest at higher prices

  4. Thanks for sharing these great results with us. Happy to see a handful of companies in common paying us in March. You aren't the only dividend blogger that has slowed down the buys. Since mid March or so the buying has really slowed among our community. Guess those good values are a lot harder to come by.
