Passive Income Update - March 2017

The last month of the quarter tends to be more lucrative for my overall portfolio in terms of divdends received, because the index funds in the 401k account tend to payout quarterly. These dividends are also used right away to purchase more stock of the same index fund.

Here is my passive income update for the month of March 2017 -

Taxable Account -

SO               $14.00
TGT             $12.00
EMR            $9.60
CVX             $10.80
MCD           $9.40
BP               $12.49
RDS.B         $14.10
BBL             $8.80

Total           $91.19

Tax Deferred Account -

VFIAX       $156.28
JMYAX      $108.33

Total           $264.61

Roth IRA - $13.20

Other* -       $67.00

Total Passive Income for the month - $ 436.00

* The Other category includes items like interest income from Savings Accounts/CD's.

How was your march and first quarter of 2017 ?

    1. @desidividend - thanks for reading. VFIAX is as close as you can get to tracking the S&P 500. Their expense ratio is almost negligible :)
      You are invested in it via your 401k too i guess.

    1. @DividendDaze - Thanks for reading. The third month of the quarter tends to be better than the first two :) I might hopefully cross the 500 mark in December...

    1. @Dividendsandhobbies, thanks for reading. I must admit the third month is usually inflated. This month will be more likely an average month :)
