DGI For The DIY: Q2 2016 Update
REITs, energy, and utilities powered it higher this quarter to new all-time highs.
Good summary. O has grown so much for me that I sold half of my position and used the funds to buy TIF, AMP, and a few others. I hate selling. Hope I don't regret it.
I've gone back and forth on selling/trimming CHD, DLR, and O due to high valuations. However, it seems when I've done so in the past I ended up regretting it because the stocks I sold never did pull back and now I am missing those good companies from my portfolio.
So for now I think I will just be patient and hold them and use new capital to buy companies that are on my wish list.

Yeah, seems like a good idea. Do you reinvest the dividends? I selectively reinvest, so about 2x per year, I'll change what gets reinvested and what gets paid out.

In this account I auto-reinvest all dividends back into the companies that pay them.

Great article, as always, and a big congratulations.
My latest portfolio update was just published on Seeking Alpha.
I saw a 15.6% growth in dividend income over 2015 and hit another all-time high in value in the fourth quarter as well.

The snowball is getting bigger!
Nice article, read it this morning. I own a few of those, specifically DPS, KO, GILD. Keep up the great writing!

Thanks!
Had the first increase announced yesterday by Polaris, it was a nice surprise to the upside!
Polaris Industries Raises Dividend 5.45%
Looks like a couple week wait now until DPS, CHD, and GILD's announcements.
