Dividend Income Update - August 2016

Welcome to my dividend income update for August 2016. Apologies for the late post!

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.
