Monthly Progress Review: August

It is time again for my Monthly Progress Review.

Listed below is a summary of the dividends I received, as well as the purchases I made for the month of August in my Dividend Income Portfolio:


Dividends Received
*ABT - $51.83
*PAYX - $45.18
*PG - $45.49

Therefore for the month of August my dividend income total was $142.50.  Not bad for only three of my companies paying dividends this month; however, these three companies are my 'heavy hitters' (if you will) and make up roughly 30% of my portfolio.  Overall, no big surprises though and I was happy with the amount of dividends received.

Purchases
August was a crazy month for me in terms of purchases.  Listed below is a quick review of the buys I made this past thirty days:

*Realty Income (O) - 150 shares 
*General Electric (GE) - 60 shares
*Waste Management (WM) - 30 shares 
*AT&T (T) - 45 shares 

Conclusion 
With the addition of August's dividends added to my Progress Tab, I have now achieved a small feat, and have earned $1,001.13 of completely passive income (through dividends) this year.  Praise the Lord!

Finally, after initiating positions in O and T, I have now achieved one of my 2011 Goals as well.

Well, that's all for now.  As always, I appreciate your thoughts and insight.

Thanks for reading.

  2. Nice going. Any reason you invested all of this in one month?

  3. INQ,

    Thanks for the comment. I invested as much as I could in August because I felt there were some very good prices and I wanted to get in while everyone else was getting out. I knew the market would rebound a bit, and it appears that it already has!

    Take care,

  4. DP,

    I think there were some bargains to be had in August with the recent pullback in the market. It was a good month to deploy some cash. Nice work on the $142.50 in passive income. It's great when it flows into your account like that without having to do any extra work.

    I will add you to my list of dividend sites that I am following and watch for new content on my site as well. I had a soft launch with my website with a couple articles, but plan on steaming ahead full time with the website in September.

    Thanks for your service!
