Hi Ken – it will be be a very aggressive goal now. My bellwether stock VALE just suspended its dividend due to a major dam collapse on Friday. VALE accounted for about 50% percent of my dividends in 2018. I’ve been diversifying away from such a high concentration, but not quick enough I guess. We shall see how the year goes, but that’s tough way to start — but I’m not here for the short term. Divs
Hi Divs4Jesus,
we share the same milestone for 2018: exceeding $1K in annual dividend income.
I like your tables and how you track the progress.
Keep up the good work! I’m looking forward to seeing how your PF will develop in 2019.
Cheers
We are both in similar boats – age, investment, and dividend wise — I see you’re in Germany, where abouts? I look forward to following your journey as well!
I hope so… but it may be a struggle depending on the outcome of VALE. They recently had a horrible mining accident where a dam broken and hundreds of people died. In response, they suspended the dividend for now – which as you probably saw was around 50% of my 2018 dividends. Good reason to be diversifying my portfolio. I think I can still hit good numbers this year without VALE at all but I may fall short of the trying to double my 2018 amount. Time will tell. D4J
Awesome news that you exceeded $1K. Doubling of dividends for 2019 is a pretty aggressive goal and can’t wait to see your progress!

D4J,
A great start for sure. Can wait to see how you do this year. I am sure you will crush it (dividends).
