Dividend income & raises October 2016

October is usually a slow month.
However, we still managed to get a great YoY increase.

Dividend income

KO $14.70
GE $9.20
CSCO $5.46
UNP $4.40
GPS $10.35
VIAB $4.60

Total Octoer: $48.71 (pre tax)
Net received: $41.40



Comparison with last year (gross)
October 2015: $22.73
October 2016: $48.71

This is a 111% YoY increase. Boom! Loving the double up. :)

Dividend raises

Quite a few this month!

On October 13th, OHI increaseed their quarterly dividend from $0.60 to $0.61.
This is a 1.67% increase. Due to this change, my YOC is now at 7.29%.

On October 26th, AFL increaseed their quarterly dividend from $0.41 to $0.43.
This is a 4.88% increase. Due to this change, my YOC is now at 2.73%.

On October 26th, CVX increaseed their quarterly dividend from $1.07 to $1.08.
This is a 0.93% increase. Due to this change, my YOC is now at 4.01%.

Update on goals
My goal is to receive $750 in net dividends in 2016.
With only 2 months to go, 2017 is well in reach.

Net dividends received so far: $547.64, while it should have been $625.
Still behind, but it will be a close race!

I hope to deploy a little bit of fresh capital after the elections, which may be just in time to reach the goal, but nonetheless I'm very proud of the result the portfolio have given me so far!

How was your October?
