Again, like in June, I decided to sell off a low-yielding dividend stock to finance the purchase of higher-yielding dividend stocks and take home a little cash.

However, my dividend investing portfolio has dropped nearly $10k in value in just three weeks, but I think I can live with that. Taking advantages of October’s rollercoaster ride of volatility, I made two stock buys this month. The first …

First, I bought 100 more shares of Aberdeen Global Premier Properties Fund (NYSE:AWP) at $6.00 per share. With a monthly dividend of 5 cents per share, this will add $5.00 every month to …

On September 7th, I bought 70 additional shares of New Residential Investment Corp (NYSE:NRZ) at $18.4552 per share. With its quarterly dividend of 50 cents per share, this newest buy has a dividend yield of 10.84% and will pay $35.00 every quarter. Nice! Since my last NRZ buy in April, analyst opinion of NRZ is …

May is now over and after the past couple weeks being cool and overcast here in the Pacific Northwest, summer seems to be picking up steam as we begin June. Yeah! But being a homeowner, that means more outdoor work and maintenance for me. Yay. 😐 Other than that, May was a pretty uneventful month, …
