First 2012-12 Dividend Income Report

This is the preliminary dividend income report for December, 2012. I am doing a preliminary report because some companies that usually pay dividends in January have pushed them forward to late December. The companies that have paid so far are companies thay usually pay in December.

Here are the companies that I own stock in that have moved up their January payouts to late December: Family Dollar Stores Inc, Valspar Corp, Caterpillar, Illinois Tool Works, MDU Resources Group Inc. and Piedmont Natural Gas Inc.

The stocks that are still paying in January are Automatic Data Processing, Kimberly-Clark, Altria Group and Sysco Corp. It is interesting that both Altria and Philip Morris International, Inc, two conservative corporations, are both sticking with their normal schedule and paying in January. It looks like January will be pretty lean.

In December, RLI Corp paid a regular dividend of $0.32 and a special dividend of $5.00. So there will be a few more stats than usual.

Here are the stats without the special dividend. The income in December was $345.99. The income in September, 2012 was $315.21. The income in December, 2011 was $272.30. The yearly income for 2012 was $3244.90. The yearly income for 2011 was $2849.35. If I had 100 shares of each stock, the income would have been $810.00. For September, if I owned 100 shares, my income would have been $780,50.

With the special dividend, the December, 2012 income so far is $591.98, with the yearly income at $3490.89. The income for December, 2011 was $514.94, with yearly income of $3091.99.
