For February 2020, the Divs4Jesus Portfolio received dividend income from eight different companies (FL, CIM, T, MSM, TXN, ABBV, AOS, OHI). The total was $398.97. This was a 373% increase from February 2019 where the total was $84.26. The difference was increased payments from CIM, T, OHI, new payments from FL, MSM, TXN, ABBV, and AOS as well a one time bonus dividend of $211.06 from MSM. This is a another great start to the year, but we will had to temper our expectation in light of the Covid-19 Pandemic. We hope to see dividends continue throughout this crisis, but we are well aware suspensions and cuts are likely.
Monster month! Congrats on the progress. Everyone is being cautious with dividend expectations so you are not alone if that is any conciliation. Long term I believe you have the right investing approach but short term is rough for now.
Best advice I can give is use this as a learning experience.
Thanks Ken. My goal is to try and stay the course— no selling and continue my monthly buy/buys, should I be lucky enough to still be able to (lots of layoffs happening so who knows what next week has in store). Lots of pain now but eventually it will end — try to stay safe and weather through… best of luck to you!
