June 2022 Dividends

Greetings everyone, welcome to my June 2022 passive income update.

What a rollercoaster this past month has been.  A handful of my stocks saw all time highs, and as I write some have experienced 30%+ drops from those highs, investing is not for the feint of heart!

Buys & Sells

If the drip amounts below don't add up for some shares it is because I used the spare change in my accounts to utilize all the funds I have received over the years from dividends thanks to no fee trading through Wealthsimple.

In my RESP I started a position in Alimentation Couche-Tard, picking up 13 shares and adding $5.72 in annual income.

In my RRSP I added 15 shares of Bell Media and 20 shares of Fortis to my existing positions, delivering $55.20 and $42.80 in forward income respectively.

Also in my RRSP, I started purchasing US companies also through Wealthsimple, only paying a small conversion fee and no trade fees.  I purchased 5 shares each of Starbucks and Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF, adding $10.36 and $9.80 respectively each year.  These funds will be reported at 1 to 1 to avoid fluctuations in the dollar.

My only sell was 25 shares of TC Energy which I used to purchase 1000 shares of Tidewater Midstream, this actually lowers my forward income by $57.18 annually but sometimes you need to take a step back to move forward!

Dividend Increases

Two companies I own increased their dividends in June, adding $121.90 to my forward annual income.


Income

Now for the good stuff.  This month I collected $863.68 between my 3 accounts.  This represents a 58.7% increase year over year, and a 27.7% increase from Q1.  Slowly but steady!





Progress

I've collected $4954.27 so far this year, almost half way to the new goal I set last month, on a decent pace since we've reached the midway point of 2022.



Thank you for taking the time to review my results.  Happy July everyone, enjoy your summer!

January 2022 Dividends

Image
Greetings everyone, welcome to my first passive income report of 2022. January was a pretty quiet month for account activity, I managed to add 33 shares of Manulife Financial, and 200 shares of ARC Resources in my only two transactions of the month, both inside my TFSA.  The $MFC purchase added $43.56 to my annual income, while $ARK added $60.  The $ARK purchase came after selling my remaining 2000 shares in Athabasca Oil Corp.  I believe there were still more gains to be made with $ATH, but I wanted to move those funds into a dividend paying company.  I exited $ATH up 149%, so no complaints at all! One dividend increase was announced for my portfolio - Tourmaline Oil Corp announced an 11% increase to their quarterly dividend adding $22.32 to my annual income, and they also announced another special dividend payable Feb 1st of $1.25 per share.  This follows a special dividend of $0.75 paid last October.  Can't wait for that special dividend to land in my TFSA and add more shares to

Greetings everyone, welcome to my November 2022 passive income update.
