Here is my dividend income update for November.
DGI For The DIY: November Dividend Income Update
Income was up 42.8% year over year. Not too shabby!

Wow. Over 40% increase year over year is very impressive. And congrats on being close to $2,000 in dividend income for the year.

Thanks Chad! Onward and upward!

Nice increase from last year!
I'm still 7 months away from being able to do comparisons to previous years (since I just started), but it's really motivating to read blog/forum updates from other dividend investors while I wait
- so keep up the good work!

Great job! Regarding the KMI dividend increase that you mentioned in the article, how much faith do you have in them? They said the dividend was safe before they cut it.

I'm willing to give KMI a chance to redeem itself. It got caught off-guard with crude crashing to the $20's, and chose to preserve its credit rating and spending on capex over the dividend, which was probably the best decision for the long-term health of the company.
The dividend cut doesn't change the fact that KMI has some of the best mid-stream assets in the country.
WTI briefly touched $60 today, and I think is headed higher in the months ahead. I think the future is bright for KMI, CVX, XOM, and others.

Good read. I'm concerned about buying things that are too overvalued, like MA. I want to own Mastercard, but just can't pull the trigger at these levels.

I hear ya, I've been saying that about Mastercard for two years. Finally just said "to heck with it" and bought it!
