February is done and gone, and I hope you had a great Valentine’s Day. In my little corner of the Pacific Northwest the weather has been largely alternating between rainy and cloudy, but almost never getting below freezing cold. As for the stock market, it slowly climbed a bit over the month (rising by almost the same amount as January), but had no massive rallies or downturns.

It’s that time again. Let’s do the numbers and see how February’s dividends played out…

ARR $26.40
AWP $44.80
CIK $22.50
CLM $65.16*
DHY $27.13
EDF $18.00*
EHI $26.80*
EXG $49.77
NCV $23.80
PFN $32.31
ZTR $15.00*
TOTAL $351.67

* Includes Return of Capital

Well, that total isn’t as good as past February dividend totals, but it is what it is.

Overall, there’s not much to say about February. There are no dividend cuts to report, so that’s a good thing. As usual, I needed cash, so I sold off 100 shares of EXG at $7.96/share and later in the month another 100 EXG shares were sold off at $7.9601/share. My little penny stock experiment is unchanged, so I’m still holding 13,500 shares of VDRM. Hopefully I will soon sell it off for a 35% gain again like I did last November.

In short, February was a so-so month at best.
