Wow, what a month! My dividends increased by slightly under 20%, but seeing as I’m so early in my journey, it’s still just about $8.
However, the big story of the month has been the sharp drop in the market. However, a lot of people seem to be very excited and buying a lot of companies at a “discount”. I’m not so excited yet, though. The companies on my watchlist have dropped to around October-November-levels. And I didn’t hear all that excitement then. I do see tendencies of some companies that might be good deals when I get my next salary, though.
Originally Leggett & Platt (LEG) was leading on my watch-list for next purchase, but it might be toppled by the time I can make the purchase.
In March, I expect to be paid by 3M (MMM), my two REITS and Pepsico (PEP), however, Pepsico pays on the 31st, so I won’t actually have the money before April.
