The Daily Dividend Portfolio – Quick Video Recap

After receiving quite a few emails from readers asking questions about the Daily Dividend Investor portfolio I thought it might be helpful to create a few videos answering some of the most common questions.

Over the next few weeks I’ll be posting a number of videos that tell what exactly the DDI portfolio is, why I started the portfolio, how I choose the stocks I add, and most importantly, I show you how to build your own passive income portfolio starting with very little money!

In the mean time, take a look at my first video in the series, “What is the DDI Portfolio?” I hope you enjoy it and feel free to post any questions you might have in the comments below. Thanks!

Daily Dividend Investor Wishes You A Happy New Year 2012!

Daily Dividend Investor Wishes You  A Happy New Year 2012!

I wanted to take just a moment to look back over 2011 – what a great year for the Daily Dividend Investor. It’s been said that whatever you focus your attention on will grow and prosper and that has definitely been the case for the DDI portfolio and blog.

In just the last month alone the DDI portfolio has put over 40 paychecks into my bank account and is on track to finish the month with over $550 in passive income! That’s a 10% increase over my monthly income goal for 2011 and I’m excited to see the growth continue into 2012.

I hope you find value with each update of  the Daily Dividend Investor that I post. I’ve taken a slightly different approach to dividend investing and I’ll be sharing more about my process for building and growing the portfolio throughout the coming months.

There are many people who promote their list of stocks or a newsletter or some investing service – usually they will lure you in with stories of all the money you can make if you just buy their product before you get to see those “hidden gems” that they want you to invest in.

While there’s nothing wrong with selling newsletters or products – I’ve just chosen to take a different path. My goal is to be a transparent with you the reader, as I can by sharing the holdings of my portfolio – you don’t have to buy anything to see what I’ve put in my portfolio.

You’ll see all of the winners and the LOSERS that I’ve invested in.

I look forward to continuing to grow the DDI portfolio throughout 2012 and beyond. I have a lot planned for the Daily Dividend Investor blog – besides the normal Dividend increase updates, and the monthly portfolio reports I’m working on a video series where I show anyone how they can build a passive income stream from start to finish….stay tuned!

Thanks again for stopping by – Come back often or give us  “LIKE” on our Facebook page.

I hope that 2012 is the best year ever for you and yours!

Happy New Year 2012!

Monthly Income Update: November 2011

The DDI Portfolio does it again!

41 companies spread over a multitude of sectors including Oil Production, Real Estate, Consumer Staples, Pharmaceuticals and Telecom produced a total income for the DDI portfolio of $509.24 in Noevember.

With the exception of the passive income stream from the incoming dividends, the Daily Dividend Investor portfolio was fairly quiet in November – recording only one new purchase. Near the beginning of November I added 10 shares of Microsoft (ticker: MSFT) to the portfolio using the available cash on hand.

November News

November is the second month of the quarter which means I’ll be comparing it’s results to May and August looking back.

The good news for November is that once again the DDI portfolio exceeded the $500 mark in passive dividend income, marking the second straight quarter for month #2 to make it’s quota.

However, November was not strong enough to add on to the fantastic gains we had back in August when the DDI portfolio topped out at $527.18.

There were two holdings that negatively affected the results this month. Cal Maine Foods (ticker: CALM) has a floating dividend policy that is tied to the company’s quarterly results, as such this quarter was down slightly from the previous quarter.

Also, income from Sabine Royalty Trust (ticker: SBR) was lower this month due to the recent pull-back in oil prices at the beginning of Fall.

With signs of the economy strengthening, I expect both of these holdings to perform better in the months ahead.

Monthly Income Update: October 2011

Just like a diet or a workout routine, when I look back over the last few months I continue to be amazed by the progress that the DDI portfolio continues to make with only small adjustments here and there.

Not only has the NAV (net asset value) of the portfolio remained fairly stable, the dividend stream continues to increase.

Since October is the first month of the quarter I’m most interested in comparing the results this month to April and July, the previous “first” month reports.

To say that I’m pleased with the performance of the portfolio would be an understatement, as October brought in $448.85 in passive dividend income! Compare that with $408.74 in July and $398.38 in April for an increase of over 10% from previous quarters.

I believe that I am now only a few months away from reaching my goal of $500/month in passive income. Because many of the holdings within the portfolio often increase their payouts, it’s only a matter of time before I can completely check this goal off my list.
