Dividend Update December 2019

Whats up guys HAPPY NEW YEAR 2020!!! Welcome back to the Dividend Mascot blog, before we get started i just wanted to say thank you for following my adventure. By the look of the chart above, your probably wondering if im going to celebrate BIG on this blog (like a rave party)........and yes your correct. This one is going to be interesting folks, its 4 MONTHS OF DIVIDEND RECORDS BACK TO BACK celebration, so im going to take you guys back in time like 2010 -2011 maybe even tell a little backstory. Before we get to all that cool stuff lets get through the important information first. Usually for my December update ill add additional graphs to give you guys a better look at my overall performance and dividends throughout the year. So without further or do lets go over..........everything for the year!!!

2019's Portfolio Final Score

$18,202.28 to $34,341.71

26.42% capital gains

Roth IRA

Total: $102.17

Taxable Account

Total: $33.95

Quarterly Dividends

Yearly Dividends

Grand Total: $136.12 (pops 2 champagne bottles at the same time)

YoY: 59.01%

Purchases: 2 shares of PM, & 4 shares of VZ

2019's Total contributions: $10,600 (was totally clueless until December lol)

So VWOB & VCLT pay twice in the month of December,  which no payments from these bonds will come in for January 2020. I looked back at the dividend history and it seems these bonds always pay in December and skips the following January. On top of that i also got a special dividend from MAIN which is awesome. Guys this is just truly unbelievable look at my yearly dividends i almost doubled my yearly "earned" dividends 3 years in a row. I'll be at $10,000 a year before you know it folks XD. Quarterly look good and steady as usual, ill throw it out there and say my Q1 goal for 2020 is $325. For the first few month of 2020 ill be pushing my taxable account's value past $10,000 hopefully bringing in close to $50+ a month. Once that's accomplished then ill start eating away at my 2020 Roth IRA contributions. Also NO DIVERSIFICATION for 2020 just going to stay the course and contribute making my original holdings bigger and bigger.

Flash-Back Back story

Alright now its time for the fun stuff , so for this very special milestone of 4 dividend record month's streak im going to celebrate to a very nostalgic music video (below) from 2011 when i was a sophomore in high-school. This video literally brings me back to the classroom in my seat leaning on the wooden table, enjoying this on my old tablet during break in class. Back then I would walk as fast as i can home so i can connect with my friends on Xbox, and i even left my parents house early some days just so i can hang out with my friends before school to play more video games. This is straight history folks, that's about 3 years after the famous stock market crash of 2008, and i still had noooo clue what the heck was going on lol. I literally had a multi-million dollar opportunity right under my nose lol (Could of worked at McDonald's and invested it all in stocks). I started investing early in my life anyways but imagine if i would of started even earlier. All i knew back then was when Call of Duty: Black Ops comes out or when the IPhone 5 was going to be released lol. Oh wait there more......and a whole lot of cartoons........well i still kinda like cartoons now but you get the point XD. So this video is my special way of not only celebrating to a very special achievement but also my final goodbye to the teens of the 2010s. Very special decade for me, from age 15 (2010) to soon turning 25 (2020) in February.
