November 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 $827.18. This is a increase of $238.94 from the $588.24 received in November 2013. Below are the PCP dividends received over the last 13 months:

- Nov 2014 $827.18

Annualized Dividend Income

Including new purchases and dividend increases, my annual PCP dividend income is now $15,061.25 at the current dividend rates. This is up $128.04 from last month's $14,933.21 amount. The PCP has never experienced a monthly decline in annualized dividend income.
