Time for the first in what I hope to be a monthly update on the dividends that rolled in to my portfolio. I’ve got this data going back about 7 years, but I’ve never included it here. I may one day go back and include all the old data, but I wouldn’t hold my breath on that.

So here we go. In September, I received $367.01 in dividends. That includes dividend payments from the following companies: Hershey (HSY), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Kraft Heinz (KHC), Realty Income Corp (O), and Pepsico (PEP).

All told, not a bad month.

For a period of time, I shifted away from my dividend strategy but I’m back now. I had some success trading small cap companies, but I find that dividend investing is where I’m more comfortable.
