January came and went faster than I ever thought possible. I think I only posted 5 posts all month, much below my expectations. But I did have a busy month.
I began selling my horde of records to gain room. Maybe to only get more records in the future..
Part of that resulted in re-organizing my stereo setup, which gave e the room to place some cassettes near my badass Marantz cassette deck from 1976.
Meanwhile, I earned a few dividend increases. I was hoping for more of a bump, but I will never complain. The next few months will have a higher quantity of increases.
My big gainer was Air Products & Chemicals (APD) with a 15% increase in their dividend from $1.16 to $1.34 par share. I now earn 6.6% annually in comparison to the 2.29% it earns at this time.
Increases in the dividend will increase the percentage of return of my original investment. That really beats inflation!
Overall, I gained $40.32 to my annual dividend income, a raise of 4.98% for these 7 companies.
That beats inflation. And that is the bottom line and exactly why I am doing this.
Here it is:
Next month I am hoping for some more, and some larger, increases.
Cheers!
