We received total of $1,778.32 an 62.71% increased from June, 2010 from 14 companies.   Out of $1,778.32 received, $1280.46 is in CAD and $497.86 is in US dollar or 70 to 30 split.  For simplicity of this calculation, we are using 1:1 rate for the currency approach.   

My top 3 dividends for June were ENB, BEP-UN and ABR.  They were combined for total of $1,131.64 or 64% of the dividend income this month.  Ideally, we wanted the top 3 companies of our monthly dividend no greater than 50% of the monthly dividend income because we wanted to  minimize the risk of dividend cut.

Options Income

Selling covered calls  is perhaps the best options strategy for extra income while waiting for the stock to grow.  While selling put option is strategy for extra income designed to buy stocks at a lower cost. 

For our growth stocks in my portfolio, we decided to enhance my passive income with selling covered call/put options.  The following transaction were expired in the month of June 2021:

The total income for selling Call/Put option for the month of June 2021 was $4,308.19 US dollar.  However our calls for SQ and TIGR were exercised, we had to buy 100 shares of SQ at $250 and 100 shares of TIGR at $30.  On June 18, 2021 SQ closed at $237.05 and TIGR closed at $25.04.  Therefore, the total cost for exercising SQ and TIGR was $1,791.  As a result, our total option income for the month of June 2021 reduced to $2,517.19. Our plan going forward is continue to sell Monthly covered call/ far out of the money Put for extra passive income.  Our strategy of selling options is using the short expiry time.  (i.e.  Monthly option)

Dividend Snowball Update

Dividend Snowball

Our Dividend Snowball Portfolio was able to accumulate more Dividends in June for growing to a bigger Dividend Snowball. The $4,295.51 total income that we received in June were used to reinvest in dividend growing companies to generate more dividends.

Our Dividend Snowball investing is relying on 3 things:

  • Dividend Growth
  • Reinvest Dividends
  • Additional Contribution

 

In June 2021, our dividends increased 62.71% YoY compared to June, 2020.  We had no dividend increase in June. Therefore the growth of the our dividend income depended on Dividend Reinvestment and Additional Contribution to purchase of new stocks.

  1. Seriously impressive haul of income in June! I love the companies that paid you during the month. I also received dividends from ENB, FTS, and JNJ. You had amazing YoY growth and put an incredible amount of money to work during the month. Your snowball is growing rapidly. I had a decent month for passive income overall. I hit a new record for dividends and earned some blog income as well. Thanks for sharing your results.
  2. Congrats on a very solid passive income month and impressive YoY increase. Strong portfolio positions. I like that you have that additional income source through options. Keep it up and all the best. Cheers
