Dividend Update June 2019

Happy Fourth July Everybody!!!! As im putting this update together i can hear fireworks going off :)
Whats up fellas, welcome back to the Dividend Mascot blog. As you can see by the the chart above i have hit a new monthly record. This month was the final chapter for the taxable account, all 4 holdings (VCLT) (VZ) (PM) & (RDS-B) are all 4 figures in value which reached my personal quota for the account. Less holdings + heavy weighted holdings = faster compounding overall, the purpose of this account is too provide a cushion of additional income for my 40 year old self 16 years from now. At 40 i will still work and grow both my accounts, this is "semi-retired". The Roth IRA is set for when im 60 which then ill be "fully retired", i call this "The layered retirement plan" for me i have 2 stages. Just wanted to re-visit my plans between the 2 account's as i transition back over to the Roth IRA to max out the left over $4,300 out of $6,000 in yearly contributions. So lets go over the dividend income ;)

Roth IRA

Total:$74.46

Taxable Account

Total: $22.65

Grand Total: $97.11 (pops a bottle of champagne)

YoY: 87.72%

Purchases: 4 shares of PM, 8 shares of VZ, & 6 shares of VCLT

The Quarterly performance for Q2 of 2019 is $263.45, surpassing the goal of $250+. My goal for Q3 is $300+ in dividends. Taxable account also hit a new record surpassing $20+, growing faster than i thought. If you been a follower for a while, you know that i LOVE these boring monthly bond etf's (VCLT & VWOB) that you could set up to spit out a fat dividend every month. VCLT is now one of my biggest holdings, it just boring and brings in monthly cash flow compounding on a monthly basis. I rarely talk about these holdings on this blog, need to show them some more love lol.

As i move over to the Roth IRA my target stocks are (PEP), (CLX), (MCD), & (JNJ) to scale up to 4 figures in value. Strictly targeting my under weighted holdings for the rest of 2019. Im 1,000% determined that i will max out my Roth IRA in no time. Pushing these accounts as hard as i can while im still young. 

Infinite Determination like Goku :)

love how he said thats only half his strength, directly correlates with
im only halfway through the year ;)

I almost hit $100 this month so im all fired up for the last 6 months of this year guys. Hope you all enjoyed the blog, keep on stacking that sweet dividend money and ill see you guys next time ;) 

Dividend Update May 2019

 Whats up guys, welcome back to another dividend blog update. Hope you all had a successful month, we are only 1 month away from finishing Q2 of 2019, and i can already tell that i will accomplish my Q2 goal of $250+ in dividends. I got some more great news, my projected annual dividends has surpassed $1,000/year. This projection is not 100% accurate, on my google drive excel sheets i purposely have all my shares "flat". As in if i have 50.5 shares of a stock, ill will leave it at 50.0 until the interest accumulates a full share. Doing this forces me to work harder than usual, resulting in my dividend income growing like crazy. So i was already at $1,000/year and didn't even realized it, pretty cool huh. Its my way of keeping my determination on full throttle. Below here's a snap shot of the dividend meter on "flat" shares. The next projected goal will be $2,000/year in dividends. 

Roth IRA

Total: $66.25

Hope you guys enjoyed the update, im planning on pushing this even harder for the 2nd half of the 2019. Soon ill be working on maxing out my Roth IRA contribution's. Lets see if im able to double my yearly dividend income 3 years in a row back to back. Keep stacking that sweet dividend money, and ill see you guys next time ;)

My updates have been short and sweet because i do the exact same thing every month. Accumulate more shares of my current holdings to make them dividend payments FAT so they can compound like crazy. Starting to see the Taxable account chugging along, already hitting near $15 for the month. Once im done working on the taxable account, i will return to the Roth IRA ;)

Thank you for following my blog updates, and Facebook page. Keeping on stacking that sweet dividend money and ill see you guys next time ;)

Hello everyone welcome back to the Dividend Mascot blog :) hope you all had a successful February. We only have one more month left before we finish Q1 (first quarter) of 2019. I have a very good chance of hitting my goal of $200+ in dividend income for the first 3 months of 2019. So with out further or do lets go over the dividend income.

YoY: 71.52%
Purchases: 5 shares of AMT

Not to bad for the 2nd month of the year, im already approaching my highest month of 2018 ;) I will take a break from the Roth IRA and start funding my Taxable Account real Heavy. Getting the taxable account to compound soo fast like its a monopoly game, using compound interest to rack in some heavy dividend payments. Hope you guys enjoyed the update, go get that sweet dividend money, and ill see you guys next time ;)

Dividend Update January 2019

Whats up guys, welcome to the first dividend update of 2019. Today is my birthday, just turned 24 and I feel that this year is going to be the year i hit 2 massive milestones with in a year. If you've followed my Facebook fan page you would already know that my dividend growth portfolio went past $20,000 in value (click on the portfolio tab above if you want to see) and i see myself maybe hitting $30,000 at the end of 2019 because every $10k comes quicker after the next. Took a few days for it to really hit me because im always working so hard that i dont even realize what im achieving in my life. 

(flash back to October of 2018) My older sister came to visit during the week of Halloween. Shes one of the very few family members that knows about this. I told her at this rate i may hit $100,000+ in portfolio value when im 30 years old, and she just wanted to faint lol   

So without  further or do lets get to business =) 

Roth IRA

Taxable Account

Total: $57.75 (great start for the year)
YoY: 98.93%
Purchase: 44 shares of T, 5 shares of PEP
Sold: 32 shares of OHI (entire position)

This is probably the first time EVER during the last 2 years of running this blog have i sold anything on a dividend update. Well guys i got rid of OHI, it was good while it lasted but i already knew this would be a temporary holding, this was when i was learning about REIT's. First bought 18 shares at $33.48 (7/27/17), then when it dipped i bought 11 shares at $27.01 (2/5/18) , and sold the entire position at $33.87 (1/3/19). So a 1.16% gain on the first purchase and a whopping 25.39% gain on the second purchase, not bad for a buy and hold investor ;)

So after i sold OHI and bought a big chunk of T, my plan with AT&T is to dollar cost average my way to 100 shares and then just let it DRIP like crazy while i funnel cash to other dividend stocks. Doing covered calls on T could be a possibility, but i want to take my time a study this before i dive into it. My 100 share project with T will be slow and steady working with the power of compound interest. 

So my New Years resolution for 2019 is to get MCD, PEP, JNJ, & CLX to 4 figure holdings in the portfolio, all solid dividend growth companies ;) and as always make more of that sweet dividend money. Well guys thats it for this update, hope you all had a successful January, and ill see you guys next time =D

Dividend Update December 2018

Whats up fellas, welcome back to the Dividend Mascot's blog :) just look at that wonderful set of stairs. I ended the year with a big BANG in dividends, unbelievable new dividend record. I want to thank all my fans (followers) and readers for taking a ride along with me as i take my dividend income to the next level. Just by the performance this month with my dividend, i have no doubt in my mind that i will double my YTD dividends 3 years in a row baby. Below i provided more charts then usual since its the end of the year, to give you guys a deeper look at my dividend performance of 2018.  

This is the Quarterly chart, Q = 3 month period. I couldn't believe i made over $200 in Q4 lol, that was my quarterly goal for Q1 of 2019. The portfolio achieved that before the new year even started, so there is no telling how fast ill grow my dividend income for 2019. my Goal for 2019's Q4 is $400+ ;)

      

This chart is the grand daddy of them all, the yearly dividend income chart ;). Just sit back and admire the fast YTD growth, i remember someone telling me on Facebook back in 2016 saying "you will be surprised at how fast your yearly dividend income will grow in 5 years". That person is a million percent right, we still got 2 more years until we hit 5 years ;)

Roth IRA

Taxable Account

Total: $85.60 (punches hard through the air) LETS GO BABY!!! 
YoY: 92.40%
Purchases: 2 shares of RDS-B, 6 shares of VCLT (classic holding)


In the month of December i brought back a classic holding i used to own waaaay back in 2016. VClT will act as a monthly dividend generator for the taxable account, im always thinks of ways to better the taxable account to help my 40 year old self 17-16 years from now ;) and if he happens to look back at this post so many years from now.........your welcome ;)

So 2018 has come to a close, ive more than doubled my YTD 2 years in a row and have achieved an all time high of $85+ in dividends in a month, so what comes next. Its time to take things even higher, continue to work hard, and push my YTD dividend income to the next level (always pushing higher and higher). 

Taking things to the next level just like my boy Goku,

always pushing his limits.

(goku goes pushes ssj2 but its not enough, without any hesitation we wants to push it t the next level)

 Im just as hyped for my 2019, as i was when i saw this for the very first when i was like 10 years old. I cant described my determination in words, so i share videos of characters who described my determination. Im ready for 2019, this year im not letting off the gas at all. Its full throttle for the next 12 months baby.

 I hope you all had a successful month with your dividend income, go make that sweet dividend money, and ill see you guys next time :)
