The month of January 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 markets continue to go higher in the month of January. The price of barrel of crude oil continues to trade over $50.00 per barrel and is currently around $53.00 per barrel. With the price of oil seeming to remain above $50.00, the drilling activity in western Canada has begun to pick up. It is no where near it was about 3 years ago, but certainly a big increase in activity over the last year and a half.
One thing for sure, is that I was paid dividends and distributions for being a shareholder or unit holder in various companies or funds. In Sept 2016, the Dream Office REIT in the margin account will be counted as dividend income for the first time.

As the amount of distribution from D.UN inside my margin account, will have a large impact on the comparison of dividend income from 3 months or from 12 months ago. Therefore, I will not compare November 2016 dividend income with that of 3 months and 12 months ago.
Dream REIT has reduced the amount of distribution they pay monthly which was announced in February 2016. Recently, I wrote about purchasing more units of D.UN inside a margin account. Starting in September, the distribution from this D.UN inside the margin account will be included in my dividend income.
I received $64.10 in options premiums in January.

I will update my dividend income tab with the new amount I will include my option premium income also. It is great to see money from passive income sources deposited into my brokerage account every single month.
How was your dividend income for January 2017?

Thanks for sharing your monthly dividend income and congratulations!
ReplyDeleteDividend Driven,
DeleteThanks for dropping by. I am grateful to be able to have dividend income coming in and therefore being able to publish these reports.
Thanks for sharing. Looks like it has been a decent month for you. I hope this increases over the year and next year as well. All the best.
ReplyDeleteBuy, Hold Long
DeleteThanks for dropping by. I am hoping it increases. Hoping CUF.UN and D.UN do not reduce their distributions. D.UN has sold off a lot of properties recently.
You crushed it! I just posted mine but came up short and only had 13% YoY growth. Not bad, but need to pick it up!
ReplyDeleteThis is my highest month ever. I only started to include my distribution from D.UN in my margin account this past September.
ReplyDeleteWe all have things that pop up that make it difficult to have a lot of money to invest and plus the market might be giving fewer opportunities to purchase stocks due to high prices.
