Dividend Income From Some Canadian Bloggers - June 2022

 The price of gas remains high at the pumps right across Canada and the United States.  This means the prices of things will continue to rise as businesses pass their costs onto other businesses.  This trickles all the way down to the end consumer. 

This past week in Canada the Bank of Canada raised the interest rate by 1.00%.  The current rate is 2.50%.  In the United States, the fed recently raised interest rates by 0.75%.  The current interest rate in the states is 1.75%.

Shortly after rates are increased, the banks raise their rates.  This usually occurs on the same day.  This means interest rates on variable rate mortgages, loans and line of credit increase.  Also, mortgage renewals and new mortgages will be at a higher interest rate. 

The purpose of raising rates is to help tame inflation and to slow the economy.  

The supply chain issues continue to carry on.  This also helps to drive up prices even more.  The costs of everything continues to higher than even just a few months.  I read somewhere the inflation in Canada will be soon at 8%.

There are predictions we will be in a recession later in 2022, while others are saying in 2023.

Let's get to the list of dividend income from some Canadian bloggers for June 2022.  Of course, I first want to mention my own dividend income report.

Passive Canadian Income received $2533.47 in passive income for the month of June 2022.  Of this total, $1195.60 was dividend income.  The amount of new shares / units dripped came in at 22.

All About The Dividends received $954.58 in dividend income and added over $33.58 in forward dividend income via DRIPs.  There is also mention of the purchases that were made during June 2022.  

Reverse The Crush received $138.84 in dividend income in June  2022.  This is a 48% YoY increase.  

Our Life Financial received $2898.07 in dividend income.  Combined with her husband, they received $3406.10 in total dividend income and 57.14 % increase YoY.  

Moneymaaster received $1273.40 in dividend income and dripped 69 new shares/units to boost his future dividend income. 

My Own Advisor and Gen Y Money shared their individual dividend income updates with the world.  The blogger behind My Own Advisor, Mark Seed, forward annual dividend income rose over $700 from last month via dividend increases alone. Although their actual amount of dividend income received in June 2022 is not mentioned, there is some great information in their respective posts.    

Fire We Go received $2220.81 in dividend income for the month of June 2022. 

Conclusion:

We all started with $0.00 of passive income and have grown our investments over time. Each "BUY" transaction can provide ongoing dividend income which may also be increased over time.

In Canada and the United States, many brokerage accounts offer commission free trades and/or commission free ETFs. You can get started on your investing journey with very little money.

Dividend Income Update - June 2022

     

The month of June 2022 is another month of dividend income landing in my accounts.

Due to becoming debt free, I changed my pay myself model. Starting the beginning of August 2021. I am paying myself 30%, just like before. This will now consist of 24% to investing, and 6% to savings. The investment portion is going to my TFSA. Any money left over at the end of the month, I put towards investing on top of the money allocated from paying myself first. Hopefully, I can keep this up!

Note: All the dividends and totals below are in Canadian Dollars

I received a total of $600.89 in dividend income for the month of June 2022. This represents a 12.94% increase from 3 months ago and 21.61% increase year over year.

The large increase from 3 months ago was due to receiving dividends from Manulife and Titanium Transportation for the first time. 

I received dividend / distribution income from 14 different companies.

I received $48.05 in option premiums within my investment accounts in June 2022.

Below is a visual of my dividend totals for the last 5 years.

Portfolio Update - June 2022

 The month of June 2022 is now behind us.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is still the major topic in the news.  When will this ever end? This has added to the inflation woes right across the world.  Here in Canada, gasoline is over $2.00 per liter in a lot of provinces. 

The Alberta government gave Albertans extended the relief at the pumps for another 3 months.  The provincial gas tax has been suspended for another 3 months starting July 1.  Gasoline is around $1.90 per litre in a major city in Alberta.  

We are inching closer to the federal conservative party electing a new leader.  This will push pressure on the federal liberal government to get their act together.

The stock market is dropping as fears of a recession are taken hold across the world.  We have seen interest rates rise and threat of more interest rate increases in the near future.  The S&P500 is down 20.25% YTD and the S&P TSX Composite Index is down 11.18% YTD.  The latter is not down as much as the former, and this is due to Canada has lots of energy companies in their index.   

With a recession , we see the stress on people's faces as the threat of layoffs increases.  As we have seen with COVID 19, no job is safe.  

Portfolio Activity

Margin Account Activity

On June 10, I sold 2 T.TO June 30 2022 $30 at $0.30 for a net premium of $48.05 after commissions.

This option was assigned at expiration as the option expired in the money. So, I now own 200 shares of Telus Corporation in my margin account.  The adjusted cost base of this purchase is $5976.90, or $29.88 per share.  Currently, Telus pays a dividend of $0.3386 per share quarterly, or $135.44 per share annually.  The yield on cost for this purchase is 4.53%.

This position adds $270.88 CAD to my annual dividend income.  I will sell covered calls on this particular position of Telus.

On June 30, Intertape Polymer Group was bought out and taken private.  I owned 120 shares of ITP.TO and received a capital gain near $3100, or 178%.  This gain does not include the dividends I received. 

The dividend was paid in US dollars. This sale decreased my annual dividend income by approximately $105.20 CAD at the time of this writing.

TFSA Activity

On May 17, I exited my position in A&W Royalties Income.  I sold 38 units A&W Royalties Income Fund at $39.61 for proceeds of $1500.10 including commissions.

The price dropped and I decided to buy the same amount of units again.  On June 13, I purchased 38 units of AW.UN at $37.85 for a total cost of $1443.25 including commissions.  

A&W Royalties Income Fund pays a dividend of $0.155 per unit monthly, or $1.86 per unit annually.  The yield on cost for this purchase is 4.90%.  

This purchase adds my annual dividend income by $70.68 CAD.

Enerplus Corporation pays a quarterly dividend of $0.043 USD per share quarterly, or $0.172 per share annually.  This drip adds $0.172 USD to my annual dividend income.  This equivalent to $0.22 in Canadian dollars.  The yield on cost, using the Canadian dollar equivalent, is 1.03%. I currently have a small gain in Enerplus after the price has fallen in the last month. I regret not selling when it was up in the $21 range. 

 

I have some other positions with the DRIP turned on, but might not have enough of a dividend to purchase a whole share. 

My Enbridge position directly with the transfer agent is set up to DRIP.  Around November 2018, Enbridge stopped their DRIP program.  If Enbridge decides to start a DRIP, then my shares will start to DRIP again automatically.  

Please note that if some brokerages DRIP shares when there is no DRIP program by the actual company. This DRIP is when the brokerage buys the shares directly off the public market stock exchanges.
