   Thats a nice cash flow. Btw, how much do you have invested to get these dividend amounts? I own some dividend stocks and i am looking for more.
   Thanks.

   What do you think about BAC? They’ve been hitting new highs lately. Is it a little pricey to add at these levels? I got in at $44.55 last year and it’s been a great investment so far.

   Thanks for the post. I have been talking a lot about the benefits of dividend growth investing lately and this is a great example of how to replace your earned income with passive income over time.
   Great job!

   You asked: “Should I be doing anything with this information?”

   I’d have to say that I would never buy or not buy a dividend paying stock based on the schedule of its payouts. So I’d say definitely not. Also, I assume you are reinvesting all of these dividends for now, so it matters even less how they’re spaced out over a year - it’s all going back in anyway.

   Sure, down the road - WAY down the road, you can begin to stop reinvesting dividends to replace the 9-to-5 income. But if that’s not for decades, then the schedule shouldn’t matter much now anyway.

   I like your investing style. I started focusing on dividends about 5 years ago. I still own a lot of stuff that pays little or no dividends, hoping for capital gains, but my dividend portfolios are really generating income nicely. This year I should bring in about $5500 in dividends, and I’m hoping for close to $7000 in 2007, assuming no big life changes.

   Even though I have some of these stocks in IRAs, and even with the lower tax rate on dividends (here in the States at least), I now find I have to plan for a bigger tax hit every April due to the extra income its generating.

   Anyway, keep it up. Every year so far I’ve been surprised that I’ve ended up with more dividends than I originally thought I would.

    Zacks.com is a nice way to research dividend paying stocks. This service is free. They have an area to screen stocks and they list the highest paying dividend stocks. Do your research. A super high dividend can mean bad news if the dividend yield is up because the stock collapsed.

    In the U.S. interest rate are going lower, Gold is going higher, Oil is going higher, inflation is going higher, the dollar is going lower. What is wrong with this? Everything! At some point the FED is going to have to raise rates bigtime. We are in a very, very, precarious situation at the moment. I think Gold will tripple to over $2,000 an ounce when the market finally wakes up and sees the real inflation. Last I checked a lower dollar = higher import prices. There is no inflation deflator here. With commodities on fire you can forget about that. Bernanke should have never lowered rates last week. However, the Fed might be doing something that few have talked about. Maybe the Fed has abandoned the dollar to crush the trade deficit. Good luck, it will take 20 years to correct our 6% of GDP trade deficit and move it back to under 1% of GDP, unless you want to seriously disrupt the global economy. We are in for tough times people. Very tough! The FED will not be able to save housing with lower rates. We are in for a 10 year decline in home prices. It is called a cycle!
