The week in Ron's Dividend Land
It was a pretty busy one. Let me get out my notes:
Dividends received from: SCHD, GILD, AMGN, EOG (a special, the regular comes in July) ETO, PEP, UTH, UGI, PTY and DLR.
Adds were made to AMGN, TU, TROW, GLW and SCHD.
I will point out that AMGN, TROW, and GLW are three of the mid-yield, fast dividend growth companies that I opened position in earler this year or late last year.
TU I have held longer. I purchased it by selling BCE and using the proceeds to buy TU, which had a much higher dividend safety score (Just barely above the Unsafe Range for BCE (42) and over the middle of the Safe Range for TU (72)). Improved the portfolio quality with that move.
SCHD I have written about earlier. With this dip into bear market territory, I liked its price better and have started adding to it recently.
Things slow down in July, and then even more in August.
We are at a first half all time high in dividends, in part due to special dividends. |
