For July 2019,  the Divs4Jesus Portfolio received dividend income from seven different companies (EVC, TROW, AVGO, MO, GNTX, CMCSA & CIM). The total was $159.10. This was a 1,163% increase from July 2018 where the total was $12.60. The increase was due both to new stocks added to the portfolio since last year, as well as repeat payments from EVC and CMCSA. EVC paid out 4.8% more than last year due to DRIPing and CMCSA paid out 12.89% more than last year due to DRIPing and a dividend increase. We should note CIM paid out in August last year so it was not included in the July 2018 total. Let’s see if we can top August of 2018’s total even without CIM since it’s been included in July’s total this year.

For May 2019,  the Divs4Jesus Portfolio received dividend income from six different companies (CIM, MO, T, ABBV, OHI, TXN). The total was $172.77. This was a 2280% increase from May 2018 where the total was $7.26. Most of this was due to the increasing amount of stocks that were added to the portfolio over the year and also that CIM hit in May instead of April this year. Either way, this is awesome to see and I’ll take a 2000% increase any day of the week.  Let’s see how June turns out. As of now the Divs4Jesus portfolio is now ahead of its 2018 totals at this time last year. This is even with the suspension from VALE.
