August 2020 Dividend Income: Just the Tip




 Another month is in the books, which means that it's time to tally up the dividends.  The mid-quarters are my bigger month, which means that there's a lot to cover.  As such, let's get right to it.


AT&T (T): $1.67   Up $0.03 from last quarter and up $0.62 from last year.

Publix: $9.18 Same as last quarter

Sprague Resources (SRLP): $8.92 Up $0.41 from last quarter and up $5.21 from last year.

AGNC: $0.14 Up a penny from last quarter, down $0.02 from year, the same as last month

Omega Healthcare (OHI): $2.28  Up $0.05 from last quarter and up $0.21 from last year.

Realty Income (O): $0.99  Up $0.02 from last quarter, Up $0.29 from last year, and up a penny from last month.

Hormel (HRL): $0.72 Up a penny from last quarter, Up $0.29 from last year.

Kinder Morgan (KMI): $1.10 Up a penny from last quarter and up $0.35 from last year.

Proctor & Gamble (PG): $0.79

Diversified Healthcare Trust (DHC): $0.01. Same as last quarter and down $0.14 from last year

Westrock (WRK): $0.83 Up a penny from last quarter, but down $0.08 from last year due to the recent cut.

Paychex (PAYX): $1.31  Up a penny from last quarter and up $0.04 from last year

That brings the total to $27.94, which is down $0.16 from last quarter, but up $12.25 from last year.  The prior stat isn't unsurprising given that Tanger is sitting this one out. Actually, the damage wasn't that bad. It looks like DRIP soaked up most of the loss.

Of course, there's also the 401K to consider.  Publix shares in that account brought in $2.46 (up $0.27 QoQ), while another fund brought in $0.77 (down $0.05 QoQ.)  That sub-total comes to $3.23.

That brings the grand total to $31.17.  Beat last quarter's record by $0.04, score.  Considering no Tanger and the fact that this quarter hasn't been that active, I'm legitimately surprised by that, but I'll still take the win. 2020 needs all the wins it can get.

Interest came in at $4.76, which is up $0.40 from last month.




I took a different approach with investing this month. I put the fractional share buying ability of RobinHood to good use by investing tips from the second job.  This was money that used to go towards the vending machine (which, to be fair, is a Pepsi machine, so it still fueled dividend growth) or just food in general.  This time around it went to parts of shares of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Emerson (EMR), Target (TGT), Pepsi (PEP), AT&T (T), ConEd (ED), McDonald's (MCD), and Proctor & Gamble (PG). Some of these are new positions, while some of these are companies that I already owned in my first brokerage account.  How big of a fraction of a share did I get from each of these?  Well, you'll have to check out the newly updated portfolio for that.  Those decimals are kind of a pain. 

All in all, this was a solid month. I'm hoping Tanger can get back into it, but at least for now,the line is holding. We're coming up on the final stretch of 2020.  Time to start getting momentum going so that 2021 can start off on the right foot.
