Dividend Income Update - February 2016

Hello Folks!

Welcome to my dividend income update for February. 

This year so far, I haven't been able to invest as the 2nd half of last year. I've been building my emergency funds so that we have the money available to relocate due to a change in job. I miss the weekly buying via Loyal3.

I have however opened a couple of new positions and will detail about the same in subsequent postings!

Each month I post dividends received to keep track of earned passive income. Opening a new position or adding to an existing position on a regular basis causes increases in income on a monthly or quarterly basis.

February 2016 Dividends -  

Apple Inc (AAPL) - $15.60
AT&T Inc (T) - $24.00
Kinder Morgan Inc (KMI) - $8.75
Proctor & Gamble Co. (PG) - $13.26
Energy Transfer Partners LP (ETP) - $26.38
AbbVie  Inc (Abbv) - $10.26
HCP Inc (HCP) - $17.25
Starbucks Corp (SBUX) - $1.70

Total dividends received during the month of February 2016 = $117.20 

This has been an approximate 400% increase as compared to dividend earnings of $23.50 in February 2015. 

As compared to November 2015, dividend income decreased due to dividend cuts from KMI. Quarterly dividends from KMI decreased from $35.70 to $8.75.

Overall a 17.23% decrease as compared to November 2015.

Thanks for reading!
