Mne has been choppy the past 5 years as I was experimenting with this style of investing. I was a growth investor before and will tip toe a bit back in that direction to find my happy place.
And I noticed you mentioned "organic" growth. It is a useful term when discussing year over year performance. I lowered my yield at least a half point this year. It would be inaccurate to say that was a failure. Nor would it necessarily be a big win if I sell all my FANG stocks and buy 10,000 shares of XOM next week. I would like to see that dividend payout post though.
Fidelity Statements were available this morning. This is comparing the projected cash flows (from dividends - they title the column "Stock Income") from 12/31/20 with the one listed on 12/31/21.
Taxable Account: Projected 2022 cash flows are 9.87% above those of 2021
Roth: Two ways of looking at it - either my 2022 projected cash flows were reduced by 51.52% from the 2021 projection or my 2021 projected cash flows were 106.27% of those projected for 2022.
