My December Dividend Income portfolio have been updated in the side bar.
The biggest change to this is probably the deployment of a full 10% into:
- First REIT through Rights issues
- Purchase of Singtel at $3.07
In 2010, I collected $3494 dividends. I think it is far from my aim of $10,000 this year but will continue to work hard towards it. likely case I cannot leave the allocation to be 50% cash.

Hi Drizzt,
Pardon the late response. Had forgotten which section i left my comment. Yes, i asked bcos the lumpy nature had bothered me. Just like you i do not depend on it for the moment, but might do in the future. The other part was about the time value of money and cash flow opportunity costs. A stock that pays me 2cts per qtr is better than one that pays me 8cts a year. I've wondered how significant this can be and getting paid at different intervals by different stocks had confused my tracking as well :)
That said, kudos for the dividend tracker as well.

Will you tell us how much you invested in order to get $3494 of dividend? In another words your % yield? Great blog. Thanks for making the great dividend tracker. Very helpful!

hi Drizzt,
Read about your dividends collection. It's not alot for you at the moment but going into the future, i just wonder if you think it'll be an issue of being lumpy esp with many companies having similar financial year-ends; granted some have quarterly payments.

hi mikh, I will expect that most international dividend companies pay dividend in quarterly or half yearly and they will be lumpy. But as i currently do not need them for subsistence it is still ok.
will this be an issue for you?

Your Dividend Stock Tracker page seems not being updated. The Last Price seems incorrect.
