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.

It was a quiet month for me in this area I did not make any transactions I sat back and collected my dividends.

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.
