January was an okay month for dividends but still a far cry from December's personal record. I ended up having 2 companies pay in my FI portfolio and 1 in my Roth IRA. Normal January's from now on would see 3 pay outs in the FI portfolio but Medtronic moved their January payment to late December. Wal-mart did the same so my Roth IRA will normally see at least 2 companies paying. With the markets being on a bit of a tear to start the year I didn't make any purchases in either account so the change in forward 12-month dividends only reflects announced increases and dividend reinvestment. For the FI portfolio they sit at $1,827.20 and for the Roth IRA they're at $206.27.
