Dividend in 2015

Well 2015 has generated the dividend revenue you can see in the table below. It has been the first year where I am trying to build a portfolio around dividend income. It’s has been a learning experience and for this year I have to look harder at the price I am willing to pay for a certain stock, making it yield a bigger dividend percentage wise.

The market has been down a lot in the first few weeks and this move down is a nice start to being able to buy at a lower level.

I really like the research that goes into selecting the stocks. The main goal is to be better at this.
