November was a decent month for dividends with 5 companies paying out in my FI portfolio but none in my Roth IRA. This was much better than October's 3 total payouts. And December is going to be an awesome month with 12 payouts in my FI portfolio and 3 for my Roth IRA. I had 4 buys in November adding to 3 positions and starting a new position in Target as well as selling out of my small position in Pfizer in my FI portfolio. I also added to my NSC position in my Roth IRA. I was able to increase my forward 12-month dividends for my FI portfolio to $1,496.68 from $1,309 with my purchases and dividend reinvestment. My Roth IRA forward 12-month dividends increased from $180.08 to $202.08.
