Hey Eric! I know it may be silly, but this thread is turning out to be a lot of fun for me. Each time I post, I am usually only talking about a few dollars and a few new fractional shares, but each of those small quarterly events really is the snowball effect in action. When we talk about "the magic of compounding" we usually look at a decades long snapshot of how small sums transform into large ones. But it is each of these little events that add up to that "magic." I am finding it fun and fascinating to watch.
Nice work on the O and OHI -- those are good REITs. I've got NLY and ARCP and am underwater on both, sadly.
I finished building my 50 position DGI portfolio at the end of March and have a spreadsheet set up to track all of my dividend reinvestments. I love watching as announced dividend increases and compounding of reinvested shares increases my income quarter by quarter.
For REITs I am long OHI, O and DLR in my 401k and recently added ARCP in an IRA account. Have STAG on my watch list as well.
