June Dividends

Ok, I'm back after only a couple of days.  Hope everyone had a fun 4th of July.
Now that July is here, and has been for a week, its time to take a look at my dividends for June.

Anyone remember what I made in May?  I won't make you click back over.  It was $0.76.  That's some shit money.  Gotta get that number up.  Well, I did in June.  They May dividend was from Realty Income (O) and I actually bought more shares of that in April but AFTER the ex-divdend date, so I didn't get it in May, but I got it in June.  I also got another round purchased so June was a big bump.  But lets take a look.



Would you look at that I got 2 dividends.  A total of $1.80 for the month.  That is not too bad. 
And all of it got automatically reinvested back into my stocks.  So eventually the free passive money that I made will...make me free passive money.  And eventually that will go a third and fourth generation and on and on until I get old and start taking the actual money.  Beautiful. 

So hell yeah!  We're moving up in the world.  My portfolio is going up through new money and through dividends, and I'm loving it.  I'll see you back soon.

June Wrap Up

Wow, and I thought May was a shitty month.  June was even worse.  I made less money and I only wrote two blog posts.  What's going on there?  Eh, life stuff.  Work has been stressful so I don't have much time to slack and earn.  Oh well, I made some money, bought a bit of stock, and we're moving on.

First of all, I bought some stock and didn't blog about it.




I picked up 4 more shares of Realty Income Corp (O).  I like the monthly dividend, what can I say.  This brings me up to 12 shares purchased (plus some reinvested divdends.)  At the current monthly dividend rate of $0.1895 that gives me a monthly income of ~$2.27 which all gets reinvested.  With a current price of $45.39 I buy .05 shares per month.  Not a huge amount, but the snowball is rolling.  Slowly, but surely it will pick up steam. 

And now for my shitty money making:



So look at that, between Swagbucks and Mturk I made less than $100.  Shitty shitty, but I'm still motivated to keep going and keeping that ball rolling downhill.

I'm thinking about moving away from Realty Income for a while and getting into some more well known companies.  I like watching CNBC and watching something I own run across the ticker.  Gives me a bit of a thrill.  So I'm thinking about Microsoft.  Who knows, I think I'll cash out around the 9th so I can buy something around the 15th.  Until then I just gotta keep earning.
