Word to your mother, it's time for the mid-quarter dividend post. Why do this? Because dividends are awesome. It's a rising income floor that can be used to fund...well, anything: life, creative endeavors, philanthropy, whatever.
Now, for most investors, the numbers peak in the quarter-ends. My portfolio, however, bucks the trend and seems to do its best work in the mid-quarters (barring December, which has become a powerhouse in its own right.) So, with that, let's get right to it.
Publix: $20.36 (+$3.62 QoQ and YoY)
AT&T (T): $3.28 (-$2.02 QoQ, -$0.14 YoY)
Campbell's (CPB): $0.22 (-$0.02 QoQ, +$0.10 YoY)
Verizon (VZ): $0.58 (+$0.13 QoQ, +$0.46 YoY)
General Dynamics (GD): $0.20 (+$0.05 QoQ, +$0.17 YoY)
AGNC: $0.63 (+$0.08 QoQ, +$0.31 YoY, +$0.04 from last month)
Sprague Resources (SRLP): $7.81 (+$0.19 QoQ, -$2.82 YoY)
GlobalXSuperdividend (SDIV): $0.14 (+$0.07 QoQ, +$0.10 YoY, +$0.03 from last month)
Apple (AAPL): $0.01 (- QoQ)
Omega Healthcare (OHI): $4.07 (+$0.09 QoQ, +$0.96 YoY)
Realty Income (O): $1.29 (+$0.06 QoQ, +$0.22 YoY, +$0.03 from last month)
Tanger Factory Outlet Centers (SKT): $1.02 (+$0.46 QoQ, +$0.66 YoY)
Main Street Capital (MAIN): $0.07 (+$0.04 QoQ, +$0.05 YoY, +$0.02 from last month)
Hormel (HRL): $1.21 ($0.04 QoQ, +$0.43 YoY)
Kinder Morgan (KMI): $2.43 (+$0.17 QoQ, +$0.95 YoY)
Procter & Gamble (PG): $2.05 (+$0.88 QoQ, +$1.02 YoY)
Stag Industrial (STAG): $0.08 (+$0.03 QoQ, +$0.07 YoY, +$0.01 from last month)
Westrock (WRK): $1.32 (+$0.01 QoQ, +$0.31 YoY)
Paychex (PAYX): $1.90 (+$0.36 QoQ, +$0.47 YoY)
Starbucks (SBUX): $0.12 (-$0.03 QoQ, +$0.05 YoY)
Papa John's (PZZA): $0.11 (+$0.02 QoQ, +$0.09 YoY)
Wisdom Tree (DON): $0.03 (+$0.02 YoY)
That brings the sub-total to $48.93. Just shy of breaking the $50 without the 401K, not too shabby. There were some small reductions in a couple of positions, which is kind of weird, but it didn't really make a difference in the grand scheme of things. The overall trajectory is still going in the right direction as it's up over $6 from last year.
Speaking of the 401K, those dividends were as follows:
Publix: $6.65 (+$2.26 QoQ, +$2.94 YoY)
Baird Aggregate Bond Fund: $1.52 (+$0.35 QoQ, +$0.63 YoY, +$0.23 from last month)
That sub-total comes to $8.17
All in all, the grand total comes to $57.10. Just shy of $60. It'll be nice to see this crack the triple digit threshold. At this rate, the day may come sooner than we think, but we'll see how things play out.
Interest clocked in at $4.97
In addition to the Robinhood buys (which you can read about here, here, here, here, and here) I also bought 4 shares of AGNC on E-Trade.
I'm making decent progress towards the two goals I have set for each branch of the portfolio. It's funny, I did cross the full share threshold on a few positions on Robinhood, but I didn't actually get around to updating it just yet. Eh, hopefully I'll knock a few more positions off and reduce the workload by that much more...so many digits past the decimal; it vexes me.
This whole hunkering thing is pretty vexing too. I've had to do it before at this time of year, but it is still annoying.
On the plus side, while the "off-season" budget is basically the same from years past, I have the added perk of continuing to juice up the 401K and build up more Publix stock, which didn't happen that much during this time of year before. So, long term, this still works out better. I'm hoping to set things up so that I won't have to hunker as much later on down the line because, like I said, it's annoying. I prefer momentum. Still, you get what you can when you can get it. With inflation being what it is, it may not be much, but anything is better than nothing. We are coming up on the second half of 2022, thus we plow forward.
