February 2021 Dividend Income: Penny and Dime

 You need some good news, baby, cause the world's going crazy.  Well, much like X, I am going to give it to you.  It was a mid-quarter!  These are the big cahunas for these posts.  As such, there isn't much time to dilly dally.  Let's get to it.

Campbell's Soup (CPB): $.04

AGNC: $0.29 (+$0.15 QoQ; +$0.12 YoY)

Westrock (WRK): $0.84 (+$0.01 QoQ; -$0.58 YoY)

Proctor & Gamble (PG): $0.87 (+$0.05 QoQ)

AT&T (T): $2.92 (+$0.54 QoQ; +1.81 YoY)

Global X Superdividend (SDIV): $0.02

Paychex (PAYX): $1.33 (+$0.01 QoQ; +$0.04 YoY)

People's United (PBCT): $0.36 ($0.18 QoQ)

Kinder Morgan (KMI): $1.41 (+$0.02 QoQ; +$0.39 YoY)

Powershares S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF (SPHD): $0.01

Omega Healthcare Investors (OHI): $3.06 ( +$0.06 QoQ; +$0.87 YoY)

Hormel (HRL): $0.76 (+$0.04 QoQ; +$0.05 YoY)

Sprague Resources (SRLP): $9.67 (+$0.39 QoQ; +$1.51 YoY)

Realty Income (O): $1.02 (+$0.02 QoQ; +$0.29 YoY)

Tanger Factory Outlets (SKT): $0.36 (+$0.36 QoQ; -$1.12 YoY)

Publix: $9.18 (Same QoQ; +$8.88 YoY)

This brings the sub-total to $32.14, up $2 from last quarter and up $9.45 from last year.  Some positions regressed, Westrock from its dividend cut and Tanger from its suspension and the subsequent sale.  It is good to see it back in the rotation, though.  I can rebuild it: better, faster, stronger; natch.

401K dividends were as follows

Publix: $2.73   ($0.09 QoQ; +$1.26 YoY)

Baird Aggregate Bond Fund: $0.81 (+$0.04 QoQ; +$0.17 YoY)

401K Subtotal: $3.54  (+$0.13 QoQ)

That makes the grand total $35.68, up $2.10 from the last record breaking mid-quarter

Most of the buys have already been logged (here, here, here, and here).  Outside of that, I added another share of Sprague Resources (SRLP).  I hadn't really touched that position in some time due to the fact that it's one of my chonkier positions (barring Publix, it's actually the chonkiest) and the DRIP alone seems to be moving it right along.  There is a reason I added it now, and you'll see why in the May post.  That post is going to be fun. 

Oh, and interest clocked in at $2.61.

I actually did make an attempt to update the portfolio, but as I was logging into my 401K, Blogger decided to undo my work and revert the portfolio post to what it was when I first opened it. This next month will have a bigger impact, so it's probably better to just wait at this point.  

Overall, though, this was a solid month.  It's always nice to break a record and while some positions did have year over year regression, the forward progress remained intact.  

2021 is moving right along.  It's hard to believe we're almost at the end of the first quarter.  It seems like the year just started.  There's still ten months remaining, though, plenty of time to move the needle and raise the bar ever higher.
