2013-11 Dividend Income Report

Here is the dividend report for November, 2013.

The total income for the month was $252.75. The income for the year up through the end of the month was $2,811.61.

The income for November, 2012 was $247.99, and the income for 2012 up through the end of November was $2898.91.

So the monthly income went up over last year, but the yearly income is still under last year’s total. I made more this month even though I sold some stocks over the past year. CAT was one of the companies that I sold and paid out in November. I think I will make more in December, 2013 than I did in December, 2012, but the total income for the year will be lower. The reasons are that I sold some stocks, and some companies pushed up their dividends due to the fake uncertainty we had last year. I think the idea that a company that increased its dividend for decades would cut its dividend because taxes went up a few percentage points is stupid.
