The month of February is another month of dividend income landing in my accounts. This
money is used to help pay my expenses if it is needed. If the money is
not needed, it is ALL used to purchase new investments to further
increase my cash flow.
The price of a barrel of
crude oil is currently near $34 a barrel. Tensions appear to be
brewing between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Also, recently at a major energy conference, the Saudis said they can live with low oil prices. Unfortunately, in Western Canada, the companies need higher oil prices to make it worthwhile to even have the rigs drilling for oil.
The low oil prices continue to have an effect on the economy in Western
Canada and starting to have a major ripple effect across Canada. As a lot of communities across Canada, have residents who work in the construction and oilfields of Western Canada, these higher earners are now collecting Employment insurance or have no income coming in at all.
One thing for sure, is that I was paid dividends and distributions for being a shareholder or unit holder in various companies or funds.

I also
received another distribution payment of $56.00 for my swing trade in
Dream Office REIT in my non-registered account. This is not listed above since
it is a trade, so I keep the money in the account and do not pay myself
first with this payment. I have received $1771.47 in distributions so
far on this trade.
I will update my dividend income tab with the new amount. It is great to see money from passive income sources deposited into my brokerage account every single month.
How was your dividend income for February?

Nice month, almost $300 in a single month is always impressive.
ReplyDeleteInvesting Hunting,
DeleteThanks for dropping by. Yeah it is impressive. I actually made over $300 in dividend/distribution update. I received $56 distribution from the Dream REIT trade I have on and $4.80 dividend from Enerplus trade. I do not count this in the monthly updates as this money stays in the accounts no matter what.
You're killing it dude. You can do a lot with $297.27.
ReplyDeleteI've noticed you and alot of other dividend investors have TD in their portfolio. I'm going to start to have to take a look at this. I do like the company, maybe I'll put some of my reserves to this. Thanks for sharing!
Wallet Squirrel,
DeleteI am grateful for receiving the dividend income. It is always nice to have additional income coming in besides a job. Definitely makes it easier to sleep well at night.
TD is a very well run bank. The big banks in Canada are said to be some of the best run banks in the world. Of course, but an investor has to do their own due diligence and decide if any investment meets their criteria.
