February was a better month than January but still nothing great. Unfortunately since I'm really gungho about paying off debt I haven't been able to add to my brokerage account to increase my dividend income. That on top of work being slow meaning lower take home pay has had a double effect on keeping me from investing more.
I've received a total of $15.59 in dividends this year so far. March will significantly increase that amount with a projected $70+.
Unfortunately no dividends were received in my Roth IRA, however I should get 2 payouts in March.

- Dividend Update - April 2012
April was back down to a low month. Once I can start investing money again I'm hoping that there will be some good bargains on stocks that payout on the January, April, July and October schedule because that group is severely lacking for me right...
- Dividend Update - March 2012
March was my highest dividend payout month so far. I had a total of 8 stocks payout in my brokerage and 2 in my Roth. I'm reinvesting dividends in all the stocks except for HAL since it already represents 1/3 of my portfolio and is also my source...
