Re: Old Folk Portfolio -- Add On Buys The last day of the month and first day of the month are heavy dividend paying days due to the number of monthly dividend/distribution paying assets in this account. This portfolio generates more than $20,000 per month in dividends. Today I put those dividends to use. The following companies are all selling at a discount to the companies' intrinsic value. FDX .. HTGC .. OCSL .. ARES .. BX .. ORCC .. MS .. T .. BTI .. ANTM .. D .. VICI .. NTST .. ORI .. CMI .. CVS. I also added to the following CEF's and ETF. ETW .. BGY .. JEPI .. EOS. This added about $2,000 in annual dividends. Increasing the income flow continues to be an objective.
