August 2016 Dividends and Passive Income Progress


In August I bought 32 shares of KR, 32 shares of VOD and 13 shares of GILD(additional). 

I had post about KR and VOD here.

I bought more shares of GILD just before August was over, so I didn't make a post about this purchase.

I also made purchase in my Loyal3 account. This month I increased my monthly investing balance by $50, total of $300 per month.
You can read my post here.

August was not big dividends month for me.

Dividends received in August 2016:
AAPL$7.83
BMO$17.29
DRI$19.82
KMI$8.80
NE$0.65
PG$17.60
RY$11.93
T$14.06
TD$15.24
YUM$0.34
Total$113.56

This is 7% decrease comparing to August 2015, which was due to decrease in dividends payments KMI and NE.

Investment Activity for the week of August 12 2019

Image
This was my last week of free trading through Etrade. I was busy with my house projects beginning of the week and missed some low price for some stocks days. I usually purchase my stocks Thursday/Friday but I start thinking to move my stock purchases to Monday/Tuesdays and then follow up other days. I totally forgot that on top of free trades for two months, I was supposed to receive $200 bonus from Etrade. So it was a pleasant surprise. :) I still have $6k left to invest in my Etrade account, so I will buy more stocks in next couple of weeks.
