Re: Actual Dividend Growth Portfolio
March dividends are in. MAIN also raised their dividend again another 3%
Code:
Date Yearly Withdrawal
8/31/2012 $4.05
9/28/2012 $8.10
10/31/2012 $12.15
11/16/2012 $12.20
12/15/2012 $12.26
12/18/2012 $21.71
1/16/2012 $21.77
1/23/2013 $22.00
2/15/2013 $22.10
3/16/1013 $22.94
So we are up to $22.94 a share yearly income without touching principle. We've been waiting for the end of March to make our next purchase, and that will happen next week.
Re: Actual Dividend Growth Portfolio
Well we did make our March purchase of 3 months worth of stock in a new (second) company. The logical side of me said to pick Realty Income Incorporated. (O). A safe secure monthly 4.8% payer that raises their dividend just a little bit every quarter.
But the wild child in me wanted to buy another BDC in PSEC which also pays monthly, but pays 12%. Obviously the odds a dividend cut are much greater in PSEC, and I'm trying to show you that you can choose an ever-growing portfolio. So, I'm "gambling" a bit here that PSEC stays good for a while. (I own some in my own accounts).
So wild child won and we bought 25 shares of PSEC. The three months accumulation of capital and the high dividend now jumps double what is was to $47.69

Next purchase (end of June) I promise to buy Realty Income :)
Re: Actual Dividend Growth Portfolio
@JaxRed since you seem well abreast in the REIT I would like your opinion. I have owned NLY for a couple of years now. I am in the red but the dividend is pretty nice. Its one that I have owned and really refused to do anything with because it fluctuates all over the place. I have had my eyes on IRC which is more of a property play instead of a mortgage play. It doesn't bounce all over the place and pays a smaller but more stable dividend.
Any thoughts on these two?

Hey, Bucks.... I don;t know how I missed your question. Tunnel vision I guess. But if I only could choose one of those I would choose IRC. I know I sound like a broken record, but over on Seeking Alpha is a Property REIT expert I "follow".
He had a nice article on IRC about 7 months agao

I've hesitated posting in this thread for a year now. I work in the industry.
I'll clarify here since it's not that simple, but generally speaking you are correct.
First, a 401 (K) can include post-tax investments. Many companies have instituted the option for a ROTH designated account inside of their 401 K chassis. Thus your contributions can be much larger than outside of that chassis. If your under 50 like myself, you can put up to 17,500 in your 401 (K) in the ROTH designated account. Personally, I utilize this account because I feel tax rates will be higher when I'm able to withdraw after 59 1/2 without a 10% penalty. The downside is I do not get to defer that 17,500 from my income taxes.
At retirement or upon job loss, I'll be able to roll the ROTH portion of my account out into a ROTH IRA just like the traditional rollovers. By doing this, I maximize the features of the ROTH because I can put a heck of a lot more money away than ROTH's outside of the 401 K chassis. (5,500 for under 50 years old and 6,500 for those over 50)
Secondly, the money from a ROTH is tax free in retirement, but you still must be over 59 1/2 to avoid the 10% penalty. Also, you must hold "A ROTH" for at least 5 years and be over 59 1/2 to get tax free withdraws. Your cost basis (money contributed) will never again be taxable, but your investment gains will be. You can also always peel out your cost basis before 59 1/2 so long as its coded that way. Finally, the 5 year rule is subject to ROTH IRA's in general. Thus, if you have multiple ROTH accounts with various companies each does not have to serve the 5 year rule. The first day you open a ROTH account the clock starts ticking and you don't have to subsequently serve the 5 year's if you were to open a new ROTH account with another company.

I don't want to steal JaxRed's thunder at all since he sounds highly educated in dividend paying investments, but dividends are never guaranteed.
If you have a stock that's in the red, and the only reason you have it is for the dividend yield I would caution you against holding it much longer. If NLY chooses to stop paying dividends, your not going to get your yield and subsequently you'll fade even deeper into the red since they'll be a mass exodus at that point.
There's nothing wrong with dividend stock investments. In fact, I would encourage it to the right investor. However, 95% of the country doesn't truly understand the risk involved. Many times retirees get their investment tips from the golf course instead of someone trained and licensed in the field. Certainly, dividend paying stocks are a nice diversification strategy to a balanced portfolio. The problem is many folks get in way too deep with money their actually planning on using in retirement.
It seems like JAXRED here is using the ROTH for his daughter. I don't know how old she is and if he's planning on using the funds for college for her, but in most scenario's people haven't saved enough for retirement to warrant the holding of individual stock's that pay beyond the norm in dividends.
Re: Actual Dividend Growth Portfolio
Let me post my results for June before I respond to forfreel. June was the month that we were planing on purchasing with our $100 monthly investment. We purchased a new stock for our portfolio. O - Realty Income Incorporated. They carved out a niche starting in 1970 as "The Monthly Dividend Company". They have increased their dividend 71 times since then, including 62 consecutive quarterly increases. They have never missed a dividend, they have never decreased a dividend.
http://www.realtyincome.com/landing/...Fazm7AodQhEAmA
June was a brutal month for stocks and in particular for BDC's and REITS, which is all that I have in this portfolio at this time. Yet even in a severe down market, the yearly income stream and the 75% withdraw figure just keeps increasing.

Income climbing consistently every month. For those of you hung up on "gains vs losses", technically we are down a bit. But it demonstrates the principle. "Don't worry about the ups and downs, focus on the income stream". Now.... long term it will be up.

How much have you invested total, and what is your expected yearly income stream expected as of today?
As with a baseball stat that needs supplemented, saying you expect 82.29 of income stream doesn't tell much unless you know what you paid to get that.
If you don't want to divulge anything, certainly I don't expect you to.

Based on the initial post to this thread, I'd say he's invested either $1200 or $1300 to this point.

An actual number would be good. One percentage point is huge in the investing game. With all the details given on the expected dividend, it would be good for each of those posts simply stating amount invested to date, not counting reinvestments.
