Dividend report: October 2021

October is over! Let's see how many companies sent me a dividend check for my ownership. These checks are the results of decisions I made earlier in life, sometimes years ago, where I decided to purchase shares in these companies. Nowaydays I still collect these checks but I have to do absolutely nothing to receive them. They just get deposited in my brokerage account, no questions asked. Isn't that great?!

A total of just under € 70. Six companies paid me dividends. The dividend income increased by just over 60% compared to last year. Most of the increase was due to my new position in Merck. I purchased share earlier in June and August.

So far I am about 60% ahead compared to the dividend I received last year at this time in the year. Currently my annual dividend income is around € 2.510.

The market has had a nice run-up last month. Biggest contributor in my portfolio is UNP with an increase of almost 20% last month. Various companies increased by about 10% (TROW, BEP, WMT, O, MRK). Worst performers are IBM (-13%) and INTC (-9%). We'll see what happens in the markets in the coming weeks!

How was your October? What is your watchlist?

    ADD,

    Looks like another solid month and with 2 months to go you'll be well above 2020's totals. October sure was great for the investment accounts with the big rebound in the markets. Of course I'd much rather preferred to see the portfolio values languish a bit to give better values and higher initial dividends.
