Portfolio Update - January 2021
Today I am going to share the status of my portfolio at the end of January 2021. My plan is to gradually invest in the stocks that pay dividends and increase the dividends in every year. Investing in dividend stocks is kind of boring but it will help your wealth grow effectively with time with less risk compared to non-dividend paying stocks. They perform good when the market foes to bear mode. Because I am young so I have decide to invest 20% of my invest into aggressive stocks and in the cryptos. I invest a small portion in non-dividend paying stocks like Amazon (AMZN), Google (GOOG), Tesla (TSLA) etc. I also invest a small percentage in the cryptos. I mostly invest in Bitcoin and Ehteruem. Other notable cryptos that I am invested in is Binance Coin (BNB), Chainlink (LINK), Crypto.com (CRO), and VeChain (VET). Recently I have sold some of the cryptos to take profit. Currently I am only buying USDC. These risky positions will help me to build my wealth faster than the dividend paying stocks considering my age. When I will be close to my retirement I can sell these positions and will be able to buy a lot of dividend paying stocks for the retirement income. The table below shows my current portfolio distribution:
Monthly Dividend Update - January 2021
Hey guys, today I am sharing with you my dividend status of my portfolio at the end of January 2021. In January, I was very active in buying stocks. I have initiated my positions in General Mills (GIS), Hormel Foods (HRL), and Citi Bank (C). I have also purchased Kimberley Clark (KMB) and PPL Corp (PPL) stocks in my portfolio. I have also purchased Vanguard High Yield (VYM) in my retirement portfolio. As I have written in my previous blogs that I invest 80% in dividend paying stocks, 10% in non-dividend paying stocks, and the rest 10% in the Cryptos. At this current condition, I am not adding any cryptos. I am investing that money into non-dividend paying stocks. The table below shows the dividends that I received in January 2021. This month my income was too little as I sold a good number of stocks to get cash to buy my first home.
The following chart shows the dividends received monthly from my portfolio. The chart indicates the growth of my monthly dividends with time. If I keep investing and hold in these great companies my income will continue to grow with time.
The following chart compares my monthly dividends on a yearly basis. In the last month, I have received only $23 while last year in the same month I received around $60. It dropped significantly because I sold some of my major holdings such as JP Morgan (JPM), Medical Properties (MPW), and PPL Corporation (PPL).
The next chart shows the total amount of dividends received in each quarter and compares the total amount of dividends with the previous years.
On yield basis, the current yield of my overall portfolio is 2.68% however, my yield on cost (YOC) is 3.82%. The YOC will continue to increase because the dividend paying stocks always increase their dividends yearly so the YOC will only increase with time. On the other hand, the current yield depends on the market. If the market is in bull mode then yield will drop and will increase if the market is in bear mode. The later condition will give you buying opportunity.
The following figure shows the YOC and current yield comparison with time. My YOC is gradually increasing with time while the current yield fluctuated in the same range which depends on the market condition. On the other hand the YOC increases with time because most of the companies increase their dividends yearly and it does not fluctuate with the market condition.
The chart below shows the average dividend income received monthly and the average amount of dividends received monthly. I am slowly increasing my passive income and if I continue to invest in the dividend paying stocks it will only grow with time.
The chart and the table below summarizes my dividend distribution in the portfolio. The most percentages of dividends I am receiving are from the Vanguard High Yield (VYM), Abbvie (ABBV), At&t (T), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), and Home Depot (HD) etc. They are the 40% of my total dividend incomes.

My 12 months return (TTM) is 15.77% and the last 6 month return was 19.79%. All of my investments are for a longer term. So it will only grow with time.

The following table shows the detailed performance of my portfolio. The current price in the table is based on the price on December 31st 2020. In the table, I have shared my current positions, annual income through dividends, total received dividends from each company so far, cost basis, YOC, current yield, and finally the total gain or loss including the dividend income. My top 5 performers based on gain so far are AAPL (218%), MSFT (168%), MA (141%), STOR (102%), and V (100%). The only stock that I am in loss is CVX (-2.9%). However, if I look for long term then energy sector has good potential to move up.
The following treemap shows my gains in every sector under each stock. I have a huge gain in the tech and financial sectors. In tech I am gaining in Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT). In the consumer sector I am gaining mostly from Starbux (SBUX), in the financial sector Mastercard (MA) and Visa (V), in the industrial sector its Caterpiller (CAT), in Procter & gamble (PG) in the consumer defensive sector, Store Capital (STOR) in the REITs, and in the health sector I am gaining mostly in Abbvie (ABBV) and Bristol Myers Squib (BMY).
