Is it Safe?

The Better Stock Twits script is 100% safe to use. It collects no data from you nor does it inject any malicious code. All the script does is add URL links under the stock ticker in stocktwits.

Why did you make it?

Whenever I am glutton for punishment, I like to browse stock twits and see what people are saying about certain stocks. I also like discovering some stocks that I never heard of. It got irritating when I would stumble across a new stock and would have to manually search for its financial information instead of just clicking and viewing it’s information. Of course, never trust anybody when it comes to stock, always do your own Due Diligence.

Stock Purchase – MAIN- Beginner Dividend Portfolio

Stock Purchase – MAIN

MAIN_logoMain Street Capital Corporation (MSCC) is a principal investment firm which provides customized debt and equity financing to lower middle market (LMM) companies and debt capital to middle market (Middle Market) companies.

 

[stock_ticker symbols=”MAIN” show=”symbol”  static=”1″]

DIV Yield:   6.82%
P/E Ratio: 14.58

Since I now own 77 shares, this will make my portfolio’s projected annual net dividend income $166.32 (not including the special dividend months).

That increase rises my YOC to 7.3%.

Dividend History

MAIN has been paying steady monthly dividends since January 2009. They are decently consistent on raising the dividend every year, with one or two blemishes and currently sits at 18¢ a share. You can see their entire dividend history here.

For the last two years, they have been paying a special dividend of 0.275 cents a share on the 6th and 12th month of the year. I will not be basing my calculations with the special dividend and will just assume the regular dividend.

Stock Purchase – MAIN
Conclusion:

Perhaps I bought too high this time, but with the special dividend coming out and the fact that I wanted to increase my Beginner Dividend Portfolio to begin with, it seemed like a right call to begin with. Next time, I will wait until MAIN manages to dip below $30 a share.

Dividend Noob’s April Dividend Payout

April has come and passed as fast as anyone could imagine. Dividend Payout is one of the most important criteria for Dividend investors. If a company doesn’t pay, you don’t get paid.There is an influx of dividend payout this month and I welcome them all with open arms!  Not bad for a Beginner Dividend Portfolio.

Stocks with Dividend Payout

  • RAI –    20 shares @ $0.42 = $8.40
  • KO –     50 shares @ $0.35 = $ 17.50
  • WMT – 17 shares @ $0.50 = $8.50
  • MAIN– 52 shares @ $0.18 = $9.36
  • STWD-40 shares @ $0.48 = $19.20
  • CSCO – 30 shares @ $0.26 = $7.80
  • ARR–    40 shares @ $0.27 = $10.80
  • SPY–        4 shares @ $1.05 = $4.20

Total for April : $85.76

Being a Dividend Beginner, I’m even more excited that the stocks listed in the April Dividend Payout all have a positive return for myself. I managed to buy them all when the market took a hit in January.

 

Not too bad for Beginner Dividend Portfolio at all!
