SEPTEMBER 2020 DIVIDEND INCREASES

One of the main points of Dividend Growth Investing is receiving increases in the dividends.  Well, duh...

2020 has been a it sketchy with that as the pandemic threw a wrench into many companies' growth.   

I received no increases in August.   

September was infinitely better.  4 increases.  (4 is infinitely larger than 0...  uh, something like that)

The big surprise was seeing a 9.8% increase from Starbucks.  They had been hit hard by the shutdowns an have adjusted well to the new normal.  I wasn't expecting one at all.

Here's the summary.

TICKER	OLD DIV	NEW DIV	% Gain
VZ	$0.6150	$0.6275	2%
STOR	$0.3500	$0.3600	2.9%
MSFT	$0.5100	$0.5600	9.8%
SBUX	$0.4100	$0.4500	9.8%

The result was a $16.94 increase to my annual dividends.  Which I will also re-invest and make the snowball rolling down hill just that much larger.

Cheers!
