One of the great joys for me is to be able to buy more stocks with the dividends that I received. It’s a great way for me to rebalance my portfolio by increasing my positions in the sectors that I am currently under weight without having to sell my over weighted sectors.
Great job on growing your income. Keep the cash flowing.

I feel the same way, I collect the dividends as well then purchase any stock I want with the income I receive.
