Income Investing

Dividend tracking across multiple portfolios, projected annual income, yield by position, and DRIP strategies.

27 articles in this category

These articles cover tracking dividends across several portfolios at once, projecting a year of income from the holdings you have today, reading yield position by position instead of as a portfolio average, and how reinvestment changes the arithmetic over long periods. Several deal with the awkward parts: foreign withholding, irregular payers, and what happens to projected income when you trim a position.
