Some Recent Dividend Transactions
- 3 Comment
The beauty of dividend payments is that they just happen – there is nothing that I need to do other than keep holding on to the underlying security. Depending on the company, the dividend payments are deposited into my account at the same 4 times each year. If you have an account that allows you to reinvest your dividends, as I do, then these dividends are automatically deployed into more shares of the company. The special bonus of doing this is that the next time you receive a dividend from that particular company it is a little bit more – over time the compounding effects can be huge.
Looking back over the past few months, I have received some good dividend payments from my holdings. A few examples of these transactions are:
15-FEB-2007 Procter & Gamble $10.93
23-FEB-2007 Citigroup $12.56
23-FEB-2007 Royal Bank $77.63
06-MAR-2007 Pfizer $33.51
22-MAR-2007 Home Depot $12.36
01-APR-2007 Coca-Cola $12.19
These payments are going to happen over and over again (until I sell the stock of course). It is fun to watch the value increase over time.

Yes it is very fun to watch those dividend payments come rolling in. I just bought some shares of PEY, a high yield dividend ETF, so I can watch the distributions monthly rather than having to wait three long and tedious months!
