I hope the summer has been kind to you and you had a good July. For me, it’s been a good month. The summer heat hasn’t been quite as bad as previous years (upper 80s to lower 90s at worst), but July has still been uncomfortably warm-hot. I don’t know why (maybe the weather?), but in the past few weeks my personal productivity has noticeably increased and I seem to be getting more stuff done. Hopefully I can maintain this momentum and keeping checking off items on my to-do list.

So how did my July dividends add up? Let’s do the numbers and see:

AWP $ 55.00
BGY $ 33.80*
CHW $ 21.00*
CIK $ 22.50*
CLM $ 41.06
CODI $144.00
DHY $ 33.25
DMF $ 7.53
DSM $ 19.25
EAD $ 9.45
EDF $ 45.00*
EHI $ 25.20
EXG $ 92.40*
NCV $ 36.75
NRZ $160.00
PFN $ 36.00
PNNT $144.00
RA $ 69.85
ZTR $ 33.90
TOTAL $1029.94

* Includes Return of Capital

YES!! Another $1K+ month! It feels great to finally break the past few months’ accursed “just short of the next $100 increment” that had been so aggravating.

July also has some good news and slightly better news to report. The good news was that there were no dividend cuts to report (Yaaay!!), and the better news is there was a (very small) dividend increase. EHI raised its monthly dividend of 6.2 cents per share to 6.3 cents per share. This will increase my projected average monthly dividend income by $0.40. That’s certainly not much to brag about, but I’ll take it anyway.

Hitting $1K made July a pretty good month for dividends and the small dividend increase for EHI was the (very small) cherry on top. A good month indeed.
