January dividends are in and it’s another great month! Hopefully now that the election is over (no comment) and with the New Year we can all settle down, focus on our finances, and enjoy the journey to financial independence.
On to the dividends:
O (Realty Income) $60.57
MO (Altria) $969.99
PM (Philip Morris) $742.58
IRM (Iron Mountain) $691.10
Total: $2,464.24
As you can see, I like the tobacco stocks. Great income and I am confident it will continue for a long time.
Iron Mountain is one of my favorites. I was a customer for a long time, so I understand their business well. That understanding is important to make such a large bet. I believe even with the recent trend towards Cloud Computing, Iron Mountain will remain viable. Too many companies will still need data centers and a lot are going to want to remain independent of the big guys.
These dividends are reinvesting so stay tuned as we watch them grow and grow until I need them at least 5 years from now.
