Receiving dividends is fun!
#1
Hi all,

We're all here to grow our portfolios and it shouldn't matter whether its through price increase, dividend income, and when those dividends actually arrive.  But yet ... frequent small amounts arriving in the account is fun!  I love waking up, checking my phone, and seeing a notification from the E*Trade app telling me dividends have arrived.

Furthermore, the E*Trade website has an amazing "Estimated Income" tab.  It tells you everything you'd want to know about when the dividends are going to arrive.

There's the bar graph at the top (I'll just go ahead and show you mine), that estimates income for a specified period; default is 1 year:

(The October spike is due to RIO's semi-annual payout.)

It also gives the detailed listing of when the dividends arrive.  I scanned the list and the longest I ever have to wait between dividends is 9 days, but that's an outlier and I'll mostly get dividends every 3 days or so.

EDIT: you can also group by equity, and then sort to see how much each company/fund pays out annually.

I think getting the dividends piecemeal is way more fun than say having them all arrive in a lumpy fashion.
