Recent Buy - AT&T (T) [second purchase in July 2018]

Just a short post here to mention that I added a few more shares to my AT&T position earlier this week.

Purchased:  34 shares x $31.029 = $1,054.99 (+ $4.95 commission fee)

Dividend Income: $2.00 sh/annually x 34 shares = $68.00 in additional dividend income

Comments: This latest purchase brings my total share count in T to 194 shares which equates to a investment value of $6,018 with annual dividend income of $388. My last purchase of T was just over a week ago.

Recent Buy - AT&T (T)

It been over a month since my last stock purchase, which can be found here.  The indexes have been approaching their record highs hit shortly after the first of the year, however, some stock valuations are still hanging out near their 52 week lows.  One such stock is AT&T (T) and today I've decide to add to my position.  Take a look below for the details on the purchase along with some additional commentary.

2018 June Dividend Summary

These late spring, early summer months go by way too fast!  We have now passed the midway point of the year as well as the recent summer solstice.  Without further ado, I'll get into this past months dividend income summary.  Anyone who tracks there dividend income activity throughout the year knows well that the month of June is one of the big 4 months when it comes to dividends and this is no exception for my portfolio.  As I mentioned last month, I fully expected to hit the 4 digit mark in June, which I did.  However, my dividend income for June 2018 was -1.5% lower than this same period last year - wait what!?  Yep, that's right, lower - but there is a reason for it and I'll explain below.
