October was a slow month as expected for dividend payouts with only 2 companies paying out in my FI portfolio and only 1 company paying in my Roth IRA. In my FI portfolio, my forward 12-month dividends to start the month stood at just over $930 and with the 7 purchases that I made in October I've increased my forward 12-month dividends to $1,309 for my FI portfolio and $180 for my Roth IRA. I made a lot of progress on the forward-12 month dividends but will fall short of my $1,000 received in dividends for 2012. At least I'm already over that mark for next year assuming all dividends are kept at the same level and not cut. In October I made 7 total purchases with 6 in my FI portfolio and 1 in my Roth IRA. I initiated 3 new positions in CAT, CMI and KMI and added to my NSC and KMI positions as well as twice to my MCD position.

September was an awesome month for dividend payouts with 13 companies paying me in my FI portfolio and 3 in my Roth IRA. The month also brought my first $100+ month of dividends for my FI portfolio which I blew past with $165 in dividends. With the...
