2017 vs 2016 Dividends
I am down slightly from last August due to the fact that Proctor & Gamble is no longer in my portfolio. However the dividend increases from my other stocks have narrowed the gap.
2017 Dividends
So through the first eight months of the year I have received $2,817.86 in dividends. I am just 1,185.14 away from reaching my goal of $4,000 by year end.
Buy/Sell
It was a quiet month for me in this area I did not make any transactions I sat back and collected my dividends.
Increases/Decreases
In August I received one dividend increase from Royal Bank of Canada and that occurred on August 23rd. The dividend was raised to $0.91 per quarter from $0.87.

Nice divies from the Bank! I don’t hold any banks yet, but planning to buy some. Higher interest rates are good for bank earnings.

I enjoyed reading your interview on My Own Advisor and thought that you are making great progress to achieving your financial goals. It’s tough being a millennial trying to invest when there are so many challenges that you need to face.
I enjoy tracking my dividends too and I had been doing it for almost ten years, but I only do it every quarter. My kids are taking up most of my time now.
