Dividends in 2020

2020 was awful.

I started 2020 with hopes of reaching over $300 in dividends in my Robinhood account. I did not reach that amount. 

I received $222.17 in dividends in 2020. This is more than the $178.94 I received in 2019, but I fell short of $300 due to the uncertainty of the pandemic, and trying other investing strategies. Below are the dividends I've received by month for the past 5 years. 

	2016	2017	2018	2019	2020
January	$1.92	$4.19	$7.26	$8.51	$14.65
February	$2.51	$5.19	$7.96	$9.58	$15.00
March	$2.47	$9.41	$12.86	$20.21	$28.51
April	$1.29	$3.06	$6.18	$10.43	$13.23
May	$4.48	$5.02	$9.17	$11.62	$11.43
June	$7.96	$9.63	$12.10	$21.92	$32.70
July	$1.97	$4.55	$4.23	$10.96	$8.76
August	$3.09	$5.03	$5.18	$11.88	$12.05
September	$7.99	$9.85	$7.47	$21.52	$28.90
October	$2.72	$5.95	$6.01	$11.80	$8.97
November	$3.68	$5.48	$6.08	$12.78	$14.04
December	$9.40	$11.13	$17.74	$27.73	$33.93
Total	$49.48	$78.49	$102.24	$178.94	$222.17

I am happy to see the blue lines (2020) were higher than than the green lines (2019). I am not making any projections for 2021 at this time. 

Happy New Year!
