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.

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...

I know these are a little old news but they happened over last week while I was distracted with getting to spend time with Lynsy. It was a nice break to get to take a week off from checking through financial information on different companies. Wells...
- Dividend Update - February 2012
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...
