Exactly 2 months ago, I posted my greeting to the forum as I start my journey down the Dividend Growth Path and felt like it was time to post an update on my portfolio and get some feedback on it (plus my wife was sick of talking to me about it). Over the course of the three months, we have been able to increase our monthly invest into our cash account with Robin hood from $200 a month to $400 and have enjoyed the excitement of our first dividend payment from our 2 shares of T.
It was the most exciting $0.96 I have ever made and I am eagerly looking forward to September when our other first quarterly dividends get paid out.
Here is the Current Portfolio:
T 2 shares
ORI 6 shares
KO 5 shares
WFC 2 shares
TGT 1 share
FLO 10 shares
Currently have the following companies on the watchlist: AMP LMT QCOM TROW IBM CMI WMT AFL VZ DIS DG GWW JNJ MO VFC KMB UTX MSFT ABT KINS
Current debate at my house hold is do we continue to grow these positions, especially when we can cost average down(KO, TGT) or do we work toward owning 10 companies to have greater diversification when they fit our investing criteria, than start growing our positions.
Comments and suggestions are most welcome, and I just want to thank everyone that posts on the forum, I have found it most enlightening and encouraging as I try to grow my dividend income stream.
