With each quarter I record the Div Paid and the % increase (if any), the amount received, and the re-investments of the dividends when they occur.

If it was the end of the year I record the annual dividends, % Increase over previous year and the Average Increase over the years.

I would only do more if there was concern about the dividend or if the dividend did not increase for the year (that I did not expect).

So you do not monitor EPS, profit margins, ROE, debt and other fundamental ratio's and numbers?
