It’s time for my favorite type of post: a tally of the dividends I received in the prior month.
Given my strategy of DGI, it is really the dividend payouts that I care about. For each of the companies I invest in, I like to see a steady and growing stream of dividend payouts.
So how did I do in September?
Last month 29 companies sent me a dividend payout, adding up to a total of $556.
Really pleased with a new all time high for this month here. Even though it looks like I will not make my goal of receiving $5000 this year – a month like this is a nice dividend tailwind.
The following table shows the tickers of the companies that made a September 2018 dividend payout to my portfolio. The table features the dividend amount I received and any change in payout as compared to the last pay-out moment.

The fact that 29 companies sent me dividend checks is great in and of itself, and there are some decent dividend raises to report.
Wells Fargo (WFC) provided a nice 10% boost, even though the bank continues to struggle with a range of issues.
Moving on to the Brits: a modest 2.5% dividend increase by BP (BP), it’s first in many years, in addition to an already sweet yield of >5%. A
And yet another great raise by BHP Biliton (BBL) of almost 15%.
British-Dutch Unilever (UL) decided not to go Dutch and keep it’s HQ in the UK. It’s latest dividend pay-out to me decreased somewhat due to exchange rates.
Comparing the dividend payout of September 2017 to September 2018 shows an increase of $379 to $556- a Year-on-Year (YoY) growth of 47%.
This YoY growth is featured in the table below.
