My dividend income was 22 percent higher in 2015 than 2014, but that is not quite apples to apples, since it includes the deployment of a bunch of new money that had been on the sidelines.
Still, moving in the right direction!
No need to compare apples to apples, I'm fine with comparing income to income.
Dividends increased 14.5% for me but a lot of that is also due to new capital being thrown into the mix.
That being said, I missed my dividend goal by about 1%. So not a huge miss but it would always be nice to hit the objectives that I've set out for myself. Looks like this year I would need growth of almost 18% to hit my goal for 2016... it's doable but obviously requires that added capital.
