Still in defensive mode, but I figure I can slowly trickle out what's already sitting in the Robinhood accounts over the next few weeks and still move the needle be it ever so slightly.

Better late than never, it's time to round up the dividend tally for the month of May. While the quarter-end is generally the dividend investor's strongest month, my portfolio deviates from that in that the mid-quarters are also something of a heavy hitter. It's been a slow and steady crawl, but the numbers are consistently becoming more impressive. How does this month stack up? Let's find out.

The taxable sub-total comes out to $74.11. The retirement accounts clocked in $47.08. All in all the grand total comes out to $121.19. Crossed the 3 digit threshold, which the most recent quarter end did not.
For further frame of reference, you can check out last quarter's numbers here and last year's numbers here.
Interest clocked in at $3.42
In addition to the Robinhood buys (which you can read about here and here), I also bought 3 shares of Realty Income, 1 share of Franklin Resources (BEN), 1 share of VF Corp (VFC), and 1.67 shares of Publix. The automatic recurring buys went on for the first half of the month, but had to be put on hold after a curve ball that punched a hole in my savings. So, the next couple of months will likely be less active as I move to more defensive maneuvers. The $50/month into Best Buy is still going and I'm still putting money into the 401K, though I did reduce the contribution percentage. All of the other stuff will be re-established when things are shored up, but for now, I'm actually kind of enjoying the breathing room.
We're coming up on the end of the first half of the year. That leaves plenty of time to shake off setbacks and move the needle forward.
