I expect months going forward being pretty decent dividend payouts. I hopefully I can get to where I was at the end of 2018. I doubt it though.

In time, you’ll be getting dividends every single month from many different payers. Keep on buying and building that passive income stream.

I was doing pretty well in 2018. I had an average of $163 coming in every month. I hope to get back up to at least $150 by the end of the year.

Your 2018 dividend is larger than forward annual dividend. Have you sold a lot of stocks?

Yes. During the stock slump we saw in Q4, I sold all my portfolio and in early January I bought mostly ETFs and mutual funds. The portfolio I had before was very aggressive. I was getting almost 12% in dividend yield now it is almost 6% dividend yield.

Thank you for reply. Retrospectively, do you think it is a good strategy?

Yes, while my current portfolio is more conservative than my last portfolio, I make that up with with a portfolio that is a mix of capital appreciation and dividend income. For example, in less than 1 month my portfolio grew by more than $600. My last portfolio, because of being mostly REITs, was in the red most of the year. It peaked for a few weeks during the summer before we went into Q4.
