May 2014 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 PCP dividends received during the month were $1,188.55. This is an increase of $581.58 from the $606.97 received in May 2013. Below are the PCP dividends received over the last 13 months:

Annualized Dividend Income

Including new purchases and dividend increases, my annual PCP dividend income is now $13,799.75 at the current dividend rates. This is up $409.57 from last month's $13,390.18 amount. The PCP has never experienced a monthly decline in annualized dividend income.
