OCTOBER 2020 DIVIDEND INCREASES

 Howdy folks!   I am glad to report that we are actually beginning to see the return of the increasing dividend.

A central focus on my investment strategy is to buy shares in companies that have a solid pattern of increasing their dividend.  If it happens on a regular basis, your original investment will earn a giant percentage back in dividend payments.  That's the appeal of Dividend Aristocrats, companies that have increased their dividend for 25 years or more.

For October, I saw increases to 6 companies.  The biggest gainers were ABBV, with a surprising 10.2% increase, and Onemain Holdings with a whopping 32% dividend increase.   Also saw a 10% gain from Williams Sonoma (WSM).

Overall, I saw a $59.92 annual increase in my dividends, just for hanging on to them.  Taking these increased dividend payouts and re-investing them in more dividend growth stock will result in a passive income snowball that can make a huge change in your life.   Remember, if I can do it, anyone can.  and your dog...
