October Dividend Update
October has come and gone (almost) and it's time for my monthly dividend update. This time around I suspected may be a light month because WMT not paying this month. WMT has a weird payout schedule where they pay twice in the first month of the quarter and twice in the last month of the quarter over the course of one year. Not only that but Kraft/Heinz (KHC) has moved their dividend back a bit and it looks like well be getting an announcement in a week or so regarding the next dividend. All of this made for one of my weakest dividend months in a long time.
My dividend total for the October was
$234.23 which is a 10% improvement over last years October total of $213.12. Next month as well as next quarter should put me back on track as I made some late purchases (WMT , GSK) which just missed the ex-dividend dates for this October. These new purchases should show up next time around. My dividend income is listed below.
October Purchases- Walmart (WMT) - 16 Shares @ $63.75
- Walmart (WMT) - 20 Shares @ $58.40
October Dividend Increases - Altria (MO) - From .52 to .565 (+8.6 %)

July Dividend Update
It's been a pretty quiet month for me here in July, not a lot of purchases and no real dividend raises to speak of. My latest purchase was KMI a couple of weeks ago and I sure wish I would have waited to buy. You know what they say about hindsight...
