I'm down across the board; however, that was because I'm fairly new moving towards DGI from mutual funds. For quite some time it irritated me how capital gains/dividends fluctuated from mutual fund investments, when the market was great the payouts were great and when the markets were giving investors the bum rush, well, do I need to say more about mutual funds? I'm not indicating that mutual funds are bad investments but I do want to hedge myself when markets are not doing so well, my only gripe is that I didn't do this years ago. As time goes on, I expect my dividend growth income to increase organically and inorganically through raises and new capital deployed on a continuous basis, whether it's from dividends received or new contributions. My ROTH and brokerage account will be geared towards DGI while my 401kplan will be strictly mutual funds, having no choice in that department.
My overall balances and payouts are down--the income stream is down by about 2600 from last year but I expect that to improve with time as I rely less and less from mutual funds. My dividends/capital gains for 2014 was 20k vs 17.48k for 2015....So, there was a hiccup but that's not because of DGI stocks in my portfolio.
HERE'S TO 2016!!
Good luck guys...
