Dividend Income Update July 2016
It’s dividend income update time. One of my favorite times of the month as I get to review my previous month of passive income received from my dividend income portfolios.
As we have witnessed thus far in 2016, the market will do whatever the market will want to do. No amount of statistics, economic data nor talking head prediction could have called the incredibly weak start to the year we had, nor the amazing rebound either. We have witnessed oil prices climb out of their recent depths (only to slide a bit last month) along with gold, silver and other commodities seemingly shaking off some of their collective dust. Seeing all these market highs and lows occur every few months just reminds me of why I became a dedicated dividend growth investor. As you know, my primary concern is the increasing of my passive income every year without having to worry about the roller coaster ride the market, individual stocks or commodities have to go through. One thing I like about being a dividend investor is the reliability and predictability of the returns. With that being said, let’s take a look at my July 2016 dividend income.
Dividend income from my taxable account totalled $239.92 down from $244.93 a decrease of 2.0%from July of last year. Nothing alarming here as my Ingersoll-Rand Plc (IR) dividend which was paid in July 2015 was distributed in June 2016 instead. This happens every now and then as companies may change payout dates or they may fall on weekends and don’t get credited till the next business day.
Dividend income from my ROTH account totalled $133.56 up from $112.15 an increase of 19.1% from this time last year.
Dividend income from my IRA account totalled $0.00 equal to $0.00 from this time last year.
Grand total for the month of July: $373.48 an increase of 4.6% from July 2015.
