I really wanted a single spreadsheet that showed as much as possible, without using a font that is too small to read. I feel this one strikes a good balance.FerdiShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008021146951839361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-87286128817837591502014-06-04T09:02:18.790-07:002014-06-04T09:02:18.790-07:00Great Month DivGro!

Your dividends are coming in quite nicely and the 4 recent dividend increase will only improve future payouts. <br /><br />By the way, I really like the right side of your chart showing the initial dividends, current dividends, and dividends received. Gives you a true perspective of your dividend growth. :) <br /><br />Keep it up!

Looking at the red line, projected monthly dividend income more that tripled compared to last year. <br /><br />Take care!FerdiShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008021146951839361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-67462942044813297552014-06-04T04:05:18.608-07:002014-06-04T04:05:18.608-07:00Congrats with a great month.

Read together with the Payback column, one can figure out the overall performance. For example, PNNT shows a 5.02% loss but has a 7.22% payback, so positive overall. Only 3 stocks are in negative territory, CHL, TGT, and MDP.<br /><br />I had a quick peek at your blog and portfolios. I'm slowly getting into writing options and will soon launch a new blog about that. I've been trading options for many years, mostly following the advice of newsletters. The blog would be about my own picks.<br /><br />Keep in touch!FerdiShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008021146951839361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-30603786559019134722014-06-02T21:32:40.317-07:002014-06-02T21:32:40.317-07:00Excellent work on your tables and reviews as well ...Excellent work on your tables and reviews as well as on building your portfolio. You own nice stocks out there. Good mix. Is your profit/loss in the table adjusted for received dividends or just capital appreciation without dividends? If without dividends, they are nice returns!<br />Good luck on further investing!Martinhttp://hellosuckers.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-17161185654809285032014-06-02T15:38:15.444-07:002014-06-02T15:38:15.444-07:00Hi Dividend Dream -- thanks for stopping by...
So...Hi Dividend Dream -- thanks for stopping by...<br /><br />So, the 17% you see is what I call a "simple" return, which is simply the current market value divided by the total amount invested, expressed as a percentage. It is not a terribly useful performance measure, I know... <br /><br />A much better performance measure is the personal rate of return, which accounts for the amount AND timing of investments. As you'll note on my Performance page, DivGro's PRR at the end of May was 33.74%. <br /><br />Thanks for the comment/question!FerdiShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008021146951839361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-17132802942862662092014-06-02T10:28:57.004-07:002014-06-02T10:28:57.004-07:00Hiya DivGro!

Your cumulative return says 17%, but isn't that a little low if you're invested since January '13? Or am I missing something?Dividend Dreamhttp://dividenddream.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
