2013-08 Dividend Income Report

It is time for the dividend income report for August, 2013.

The dividend income for the month was $305.11. The income for 2013 up through the end of August was $1978.40. There was a semi-annual dividend from Vodafone this month. Without Vodafone, the income was $249.23. In May, 2013, the income was $242.65.

In 2012, the income for August was $316.04 with Vodafone, and $262.87 without Vodafone. The income for 2012 up through the end of August was $2110.57.

It looks like Verizon will be buying the 45% of Verizon Wireless that Vodafone owns from Vodafone. So far I do not know what Vodaphone will do with the money that it will get from the deal (if it happens). The choices are a special dividend, or to reinvest in the company.
