It is time for another portfolio update! My end-of-the month portfolio value is based off the share price at the close of the last day of the month. Although the primary goal of my portfolio is to generate a reliable, increasing stream of dividend income, it is also interesting to watch how the value of the portfolio fluctuates over time.
Well, I finally did it…I surpassed $500 in dividends this month! In all, I received dividends from nine companies totaling $542.08. This includes an increased dividend payment (compared to the previous payment) from two companies: The Coca-Cola Company and PPL Corporation. What could be better than receiving more money just by holding shares in great companies?

As is the case with most things in Linux, there are multiple ways to determine the information you are seeking. In this post, I will show you a few ways that you can find out the last time your Linux system was rebooted.
This post shows three different ways to list the free memory in Linux.

This month, I received dividends from five companies totaling $106.00. Compared to this time last year, this represents a $106.00 increase in dividend income. Fabulous! My dividend income for the year now surpassed $500.00. That is $500.00 that I didn’t have to clock in to collect. Fantastic!
This month also included two dividend increases. The first increase was 2.27% year-over-year, from $0.44/qtr. to $0.45/qtr., from AT&T. The second increase was from Kinder Morgan Inc. for 2.78%, from $0.36/qtr. to $0.37/qtr., compared to last quarter. Kinder Morgan Inc. has increased their dividend nearly every quarter, so 2.78% is a nice little bump.
