In the month of December we continued buying stocks we already own that we feel have fallen below their fair value. Here’s what we purchased in December: 1 share of SWKS for $90.30; 3 shares of MO for $136.73; 4 shares of CMCSA for $139.00; 2 shares of INTC for $52.39; 3 shares of VZ for $117.84; 8 shares of SWK for $604.96; 12 shares of SMG for $590.76; 1 share of RHI for $73.54; and 3 shares of AEG for $15.12.

Portfolio Update
DIVIDEND REPORT :: DECEMBER 2022
For December 2022, the Divs4Jesus Portfolio received dividend income from twenty-seven different companies (AFL, PSX, V, INTC, F, HON, LYB, JNJ, AMGN, SNA, EVR, SMG, WBA, CVX, MET, SWKS, RHI, FAF, NWL, TSN, PRU, SWK, LEA, TROW, EVC, AVGO, & SPG). The total was $709.55. This was a 44% increase from December of 2021 where the total was $491.66. While we did have two new payors this month (SMG, & SWK) this only accounted for $13.52 of the increase. The majority of the increase is due to added to our existing stocks and dividend increases year over year.
These December payments just squeaked us over last year’s total. The total dividends received in 2022 was $7,420.95 vs the $7,241.99 we received in 2021. A $178.96 increase or 2% year over year. While this is extremely close year over year we are happy to have beat out 2021 at all since we have some major ‘onetime’ payments from VALE that we knew would not repeat in 2022. For example, in 2021 VALE paid us out a total of $3,642.56 but only $2,175.21 in 2022 – a difference of $1,467.35 we had to overcome and we are happy we were able to.
A full recap of 2022 and comparison year over year will be posted in the coming weeks.
STOCK PURCHASES :: SMG, SWK, CMCSA, VZ, MO, INTC, SWKS, & AEG
In the month of November we continued buying stocks we already own that we feel have fallen below their fair value and added to our newest tickers SWK and SMG. Here’s what we purchased in November: 2 more shares of SWKS for $179.24; 3 shares of MO for $136.53; 4 shares of CMCSA for $141.56; 4 shares of INTC for $113.12; 4 shares of VZ for $153.24; 7 shares of SWK for $551.53; 10 shares of SMG for $531.06; and 3 shares of AEG for $14.28. In total we purchased $1,820.56 worth of stocks this month.
DIVIDEND REPORT :: NOVEMBER 2022
For November 2022, the Divs4Jesus Portfolio received dividend income from eight different companies. (BMY, VZ, T, AOS, TXN, ABBV, OHI, & MSM). The total was $307.95. This was a 16% increase from November of 2021 where the total was $265.79. There were no changes in the companies that paid out so the increase is due to additional purchases of these stocks as well as dividend increases year over year. And also despite T cutting there dividend. It looks like it will come down to the wire to see if we can surpass our 2021 total year income with only December to go.
STOCK PURCHASES :: (TROW, MO, SMG, SWK, INTC, VZ, CMCSA, WBA, & AEG)
In the month of October we continued buying stocks we already own that we feel have fallen below their fair value and added to our newest tickers SWK and SMG. Here’s what we purchased in October: 2 more shares of TROW for $215.40; 3 shares of MO for $138.80; 3 shares of CMCSA for $94.55; 5 shares of INTC for $142.10; 3 shares of WBA for $109.98; 5 shares of VZ for $186.59; 6 shares of SWK for $474.49; 10 shares of SMG for $452.40; and 1 share of AEG for $4.61. In total we purchased $1,818.92 worth of stocks this month.
DIVIDEND REPORT :: OCTOBER 2022
For October 2022, the Divs4Jesus Portfolio received dividend income from seven different companies. (MO, LECO, GNTX, CMCSA, CSCO, FL, & CIM). The total was $334.34. This was a 86% decrease from October of 2021 where the total was $2,334.46. The major difference year over year was that VALE paid out its massive dividend in October last year instead of September like this year. Comparing the rest of the payers we had an increase of $72.85 from the same group of companies. It looks like it will come down to the wire to see if we can surpass our 2021 total year income with only Nov and December to go.
STOCK PURCHASES :: (TROW, MO, CMCSA, INTC, VZ, WBA, SMG, & SWK)
In the month of September we continued buying stocks we already own that we feel have fallen below their fair value and finally pulled the trigger on two new names thanks to the continued turmoil in the markets. The two new adds were SWK and SMG. We only added a share or two as we feel the market will continue down a bit so we’ll build into a position slowly. Here’s what we purchased in September: 10 more shares of TROW for $1,079.00; 3 shares of MO for $123.00; 4 shares of CMCSA for $121.28; 6 shares of INTC for $158.46; 1 share of WBA for $31.56; 4 shares of VZ for $153.96; 1 share of SWK (a new add to the portfolio) for $77.53; and 2 shares of SMG (the other new add) for $86.22. In total we purchased $1,831.01 worth of stocks this month.
DIVIDEND REPORT :: SEPTEMBER 2022
For September 2022, the Divs4Jesus Portfolio received dividend income from twenty-seven different companies. (EVC, AVGO, SPG, TROW, AEG, LEA,RHI, FAF, NWL, TSN, PRU, SWKS, MET, VALE, CVX, EVR, SNA, WBA, AMGN, LYB, JNJ, HON, AFL, PSX, V, INTC. & F). The total was $1,763.13. This was a 286% increase from September of 2021 where the total was $456.68. The major difference year over year was that VALE paid out its massive dividend in September this year instead of October. As such, we will see a big drop year over year in October because of the change in pay dates. Looking towards the later quarter of the year we are now around $1,200.00 from last years total – its going to be very close to see if we can top 2021s numbers.
STOCK PURCHASES :: (TROW, MO, CMCSA, INTC, VZ, AEG)
In the month of August we continued buying more of some of the stocks we already own that have dipped in price or remained low. Still on the lookout for new companies to add but they haven’t hit our buy targets just yet, however a few are within 5% of our targets so maybe they’ll get added in September depending on what the market does. Here’s what we purchased in August: 10 more shares of TROW for $1,208.00; 3 shares of MO for $135.33; 4 shares of CMCSA for $145.03; 3 shares of INTC for $96.30; 5 shares of AEG for $22.50; and 5 shares of VZ for $211.10. In total we purchased $1,818.26 worth of stocks this month.
DIVIDEND REPORT :: AUGUST 2022
For August 2022, the Divs4Jesus Portfolio received dividend income from seven different companies. (BMY, VZ, T, AOS, ABBV, TXN, and OHI). The total was $235.67. This was a 26% increase from August of 2021 where the total was $201.95. The same seven companies paid out in August for both years so the percentage gain here can be attributed to increased dividend amounts and additional purchases of these companies.
