It's that time of the month again! I am late because I just returned from my holiday. It's a nice feeling to be away for three weeks yet still get paid a few bucks for owning shares in some wonderful companies.
After the big losses in my portfolio last month, this month showed some black numbers again. In the table below I have presented some benchmark indicators of general market indices and my own dividend growth portfolio.
However, since I am in it for the long haul I am not too interested in these daily or monthly fluctuations. What matters is that I keep focused on buying high quality companies which provide me with a steady stream of growing dividends.
Purchases
None
Dividends received
Seven separate companies paid me dividends during this month.
Dividend increases
My 12-month forward dividend rate is now €985, compared to €985 last month. I am inching towards the€1000 dividend income per year milestone. It depends on the EUR.USD rate whether I will reach this milestone with my next purchase.
Seeking Alpha articles
In the past month I write one article on Seeking Alpha about Omega Healthcare Investors. Check it out here: http://seekingalpha.com/article/3315655-omega-healthcare-investors-a-healthcare-reit-that-under-promised-and-over-delivered-in-the-last-decade
How was your month? What are your plans for the coming month? Which companies are you looking at to add to your portfolio?
