FFJ Portfolio – June 2017 Dividend Income Report
Given the recent events for which I have provided a high level overview in my Financial Plans Should Account for Potential Major Mental Health Issues post, I have totally neglected this website. Now that matters have improved slightly I will endeavor to resume regular posts. In this regard, I provide an overview of the dividend income generated in the FFJ Portfolio during the month of June 2017. While this portfolio only represents a small component of our overall holdings, I think it is sufficient to demonstrate that a passive dividend income portfolio is:
- a wonderful way to enhance your personal net worth;
- can ultimately provide an “income safety blanket” once it reaches a reasonable value. Continue reading “FFJ Portfolio – June 2017 Dividend Income Report”

FFJ Portfolio – March 2017 Dividend Income Report
The following is a report reflecting the monthly and YTD dividend income generated from investments held in the FFJ Portfolio.
I imagine March will be the last month in which we will receive a quarterly dividend from DH Corporation (TSX: DH). On March 13, 2017, DH issued a press release indicating it had entered into definitive agreement to be acquired by Vista Equity Partners. Vista will acquire all the outstanding shares of DH for $25.50/share in cash including the assumption of all debt obligations including the issued convertible debentures, for a total enterprise value of approximately $4.8B. The transaction price represents a premium of about 36% over DH’s closing share price on December 5, 2016, the last trading day before media reports surfaced suggesting the Company was exploring strategic alternatives.
Unfortunately my average cost on the 414 shares in the FFJ Portfolio is $30.84 so I am taking a haircut of about $2200. The silver lining, however, is that we hold 1256 DH shares in another account at an average cost of $18.892. This will result in a gain of about $8300.
Hope your investments aptly rewarded you in March!
FFJ Portfolio – February 2017 Dividend Income Report
The purpose of this short post is to provide an update of the dividend income generated in the FFJ Portfolio during the month of February 2017. The total dividend income received was pretty meager but fortunately the vast majority of our investments are not held in this portfolio.
We generated CDN $152.15 from Smart REIT and USD $598.64 (after the 15% withholding tax) from AT&T, Verizon, and Colgate.
Year-to-date dividend income amounts to CDN $1,355.23 and USD $1,019.31.
Dividend income should pick up nicely in March. We will be receiving roughly CDN $450 from CNR, DH, and SRU.UN and USD $1,830 from CVX, JNJ, MMM, and XOM.
I have forecast our YTD dividend income at the end of March 2017. We should reach roughly CDN $1,805 and USD $2,849 which puts us on pace to exceed our FY2017 dividend income target of CDN $7,000 and USD $11,000.
