In the month of October we continued buying stocks we already own that we feel have fallen below their fair value and added to our newest tickers SWK and SMG. Here’s what we purchased in October: 2 more shares of TROW for $215.40; 3 shares of MO for $138.80; 3 shares of CMCSA for $94.55; 5 shares of INTC for $142.10; 3 shares of WBA for $109.98; 5 shares of VZ for $186.59; 6 shares of SWK for $474.49; 10 shares of SMG for $452.40; and 1 share of AEG for $4.61. In total we purchased $1,818.92 worth of stocks this month.
Portfolio Update
DIVIDEND REPORT :: OCTOBER 2022
For October 2022, the Divs4Jesus Portfolio received dividend income from seven different companies. (MO, LECO, GNTX, CMCSA, CSCO, FL, & CIM). The total was $334.34. This was a 86% decrease from October of 2021 where the total was $2,334.46. The major difference year over year was that VALE paid out its massive dividend in October last year instead of September like this year. Comparing the rest of the payers we had an increase of $72.85 from the same group of companies. It looks like it will come down to the wire to see if we can surpass our 2021 total year income with only Nov and December to go.
STOCK PURCHASES :: (TROW, MO, CMCSA, INTC, VZ, WBA, SMG, & SWK)
In the month of September we continued buying stocks we already own that we feel have fallen below their fair value and finally pulled the trigger on two new names thanks to the continued turmoil in the markets. The two new adds were SWK and SMG. We only added a share or two as we feel the market will continue down a bit so we’ll build into a position slowly. Here’s what we purchased in September: 10 more shares of TROW for $1,079.00; 3 shares of MO for $123.00; 4 shares of CMCSA for $121.28; 6 shares of INTC for $158.46; 1 share of WBA for $31.56; 4 shares of VZ for $153.96; 1 share of SWK (a new add to the portfolio) for $77.53; and 2 shares of SMG (the other new add) for $86.22. In total we purchased $1,831.01 worth of stocks this month.
DIVIDEND REPORT :: SEPTEMBER 2022
For September 2022, the Divs4Jesus Portfolio received dividend income from twenty-seven different companies. (EVC, AVGO, SPG, TROW, AEG, LEA,RHI, FAF, NWL, TSN, PRU, SWKS, MET, VALE, CVX, EVR, SNA, WBA, AMGN, LYB, JNJ, HON, AFL, PSX, V, INTC. & F). The total was $1,763.13. This was a 286% increase from September of 2021 where the total was $456.68. The major difference year over year was that VALE paid out its massive dividend in September this year instead of October. As such, we will see a big drop year over year in October because of the change in pay dates. Looking towards the later quarter of the year we are now around $1,200.00 from last years total – its going to be very close to see if we can top 2021s numbers.
STOCK PURCHASES :: (TROW, MO, CMCSA, INTC, VZ, AEG)
In the month of August we continued buying more of some of the stocks we already own that have dipped in price or remained low. Still on the lookout for new companies to add but they haven’t hit our buy targets just yet, however a few are within 5% of our targets so maybe they’ll get added in September depending on what the market does. Here’s what we purchased in August: 10 more shares of TROW for $1,208.00; 3 shares of MO for $135.33; 4 shares of CMCSA for $145.03; 3 shares of INTC for $96.30; 5 shares of AEG for $22.50; and 5 shares of VZ for $211.10. In total we purchased $1,818.26 worth of stocks this month.
DIVIDEND REPORT :: AUGUST 2022
For August 2022, the Divs4Jesus Portfolio received dividend income from seven different companies. (BMY, VZ, T, AOS, ABBV, TXN, and OHI). The total was $235.67. This was a 26% increase from August of 2021 where the total was $201.95. The same seven companies paid out in August for both years so the percentage gain here can be attributed to increased dividend amounts and additional purchases of these companies.
STOCK PURCHASES :: (TROW, MO, CMCSA, INTC, & AEG)
In the month of July we continued buying more TROW as the price has remained low. We also picked up a number of shares in companies we already own. As I noted last month – we are on the lookout for new companies to add but they haven’t hit our buy targets just yet. Here’s what we purchased in July: 10 more shares of TROW for $1,,222.00; 3 shares of MO for $131.93; 8 shares of CMCSA for $299.60; 4 shares of INTC for $142.52; and 5 shares of AEG for $22.10 In total we purchased $1,818.15 worth of stocks this month.
STOCK PURCHAES :: (TROW, SEIC, SPG, AFL, MO, PRU, SWKS, & VZ)
In the month of June we continued buying more TROW as the price declined further. We also picked up a number of shares in companies we already own. As I noted last month – we are on the lookout for new companies to add but they haven’t hit our buy targets just yet. Here’s what we purchased in June: 10 more shares of TROW for $1,096.20; 3 shares of MO for 136.37; 1 share of SWKS for $92.74; 1 share of VZ for $49.75; 1 share of SPG for $98.20; 1 share of SEIC for $52.76; 2 shares of PRU for $186.10; and 1 share of AEG for $4.39.

DIVIDEND REPORT :: JUNE 2022
For June 2022, the Divs4Jesus Portfolio received dividend income from twenty-seven different companies, might be a record for us. (AFL, PSX, V, INTC, F, HON, JNJ, AMGN, SNA, EVR, WBA, CVX, LYB, MET, SWKS, RHI, FAF, NWL, TSN, PRU, SEIC, LEA, TROW, EVC, AVGO, & SPG). The total was $688.37. This was a 81% increase from June of 2021 where the total was $379.85. The increase was due to increased payments from twenty-three of the companies. A new payment from AMGN, a reinstated dividend from F, SPG paying out in June this year instead of July, and a special dividend payment from LYB in addition to their quarterly payment. We’ve now increased our monthly dividend payment year over year for the first 6 months of this year. However, July will likely end that streak as in July of 2021 we received a massive special dividend from VALE that we don’t expect with be issued this year. It will be interesting to see if we’ll still be head year to year after July.
