There wasn't much news on the portfolio for the month except for two small purchases, one in IBM and one in Visa. I'm a big fan of both companies although I have to admit that Visa is probably going to be more of a total return investment thanks to the sub 1.00% starting yield. Feel free to check out my analysis on IBM and on Visa if you want to learn more about the qualities that make for good investments. Other than that it was a pretty quiet month, but the beauty of a dividend growth investing strategy is that the dividends will continue to roll in from high quality companies every month. This was my first month that wasn't on the March, June, September, December payout schedule to surpass the $100 mark. Although July almost made it, coming up less than $4.00 short. So a little bit of an investing milestone was accomplished and going forward I expect to continue to receive at least $100 every month from here on. That's passive income I can use to invest in other opportunities now or use to pay for expenses later.
