This is a quick yet different posting, as I’m combining a stock sale and buy report in the same posting which is something I’ve never done before. First, I sold all 125 of my shares of OIA back in late March for $7.84 per share ($980.00 total). Considering how my initial cost basis was $874.88 …

April showers bring May flowers, and there certainly was plenty of April rain here in the Pacific Northwest (they don’t call it WASHington state for nothing). The stock market wavered a little over the month, but it seemed the market’s mood was generally upbeat. So how was my dividend earnings for the month of April? …

March is gone, but spring is here! Here in my corner of the Pacific Northwest, March started off with winter’s last gasp and it ended with mostly sunshine and the local flora blooming all around. I’m sure my pollen allergies will kick in later this month. That’s something I look forward to this spring and …

Thus ends February. Here in the Pacific Northwest, the weather has been quite cold (and expected to get colder heading as March unfolds) and we’ve had a bit of snowfall west of the Cascades. Winter isn’t over yet, and it’s going to throw a final punch or two before transitioning into spring. As for my …

I hope the new year is treating you and your investments well. After December’s steep drop (-20% from its 2018 high point!) of my dividend investing portfolio, January has proved that the stomach-churning turmoil of December was largely a correction and the market has clawed its way back up. At the end of January, my …

Happy New Year! Well, 2018 is now over, and I can now take stock (pun intended) of the past 12 months of my dividend quest. Overall, 2018 was a good year for dividend investing, although the last three months of market volatility has certainly felt like a wild rollercoaster ride and nobody knows when the …

Happy New Year! I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. December is over and what a wild ride it was! My dividend investing portfolio’s value dropped as much as 20% in the past three months, so it has been something of a stomach churning experience. Ugh! But if one …

This is a quickie. Taking advantage of the stock market’s downturn, on December 15th I bought 125 additional shares of Liberty All-Star Equity Fund (NYSE: USA) at $5.56 per share. With a dividend of $0.16 per share, this paid a quarterly $20 and raised my projected average monthly dividend income by $6.66. It’s not a …

Well, November is done and the holiday season is in full swing as we count down to Christmas. I hope everybody had a happy Thanksgiving last month and your dividend portfolio was kind to you despite the volatility that’s been roiling the market for the past couple months. As how the volatility has impacted me, …

Wow! October was quite the wild ride, wasn’t it? The bear market came out of hibernation and certainly mauled a lot of investors’ portfolios. While many dividend investors are feeling pain looking at their portfolios’ value drop, I’m sure they’re also happy about the good buying opportunities now appearing. That’s the paradox of being a …
