My overall portfolio has increased $449.02 since January 1st. I have received $15.53 in dividends in 2019 and added $50.00 from my pocket. That means the other $383.49 increase came from the value of my stocks going up.

Here are the year-to-date numbers on my dividends -

Dividends Received in 2018			$15.53
# of Dividends Received in 2018			43
Average Dividend Payment Amount			$0.361

I received eight dividends this past week, for a total of $4.48 -

Global X SuperIncome Preferred ETF	SPFF	$0.06	6.29%
Global X SuperDividend	SDIV	$0.81	8.02%
Global X SuperDividend	DIV	$0.27	6.45%
Apple	AAPL	$2.19	1.85%
Realty Income Delaware	O	$0.20	4.68%
Colgate-Palmolive Co	CL	$0.42	2.67%
Hormel Foods Corp.	HRL	$0.21	2.24%
Abbott Laboratories	ABT	$0.32	3.30%

It was a good week for dividends. I should be able to buy another share of something soon with the dividends that I'm getting paid. I'm still averaging about one dividend per day, which is something I was excited to reach. I'm still recovering losses from when I tried options trading this summer, but I'm slowly making my way back up.

Have a good rest of your weekend!
