November 2013 Pocket Change Portfolio Performance

The Pocket Change Portfolio (PCP) was first introduced on September 13, 2008 as a real money dividend income portfolio funded by the "pocket change" earned from my various online endeavors. Each month I report on the portfolio's progress and dividends earned.

Dividends Received

Total dividends received during the month were $588.24. This is an increase of $82.45 from the $505.79 received in November 2012. Below are the PCP dividends received over the last 13 months:

- Nov 2013 $588.24

Annualized Dividend Income

Including new purchases and dividend increases, my annual PCP dividend income is now $11,912.85 at the current dividend rates. This is up $122.20 from last month's $11,790.65 amount. The PCP has never experienced a monthly decline in annualized dividend income.

Portfolio Returns

That's it for this month. The next PCP report will be mid-to-late January. Thanks for for reading!
