Dividend Breakdown
Dividend-wise, May has always been the best month. In 2023, I received $7,230 and this year $8,544.
You can see the entire progress of my income from my dividend stocks in the following chart:

This month, two dividend payments made it into my Top 10:
The largest payer was the German REIT Hamborner, making it the biggest single-stock dividend I ever received.
And German chemical company, BASF, makes it into my Top 10 too.
The following chart shows the largest dividends I have received since I started building my All-Weather Dividend Portfolio in mid-2020.
Inspired by my fellow financial blogger Bergfahrten.com, I also wanted to track how many companies pay me a yearly dividend of $1,000!
So far I have 10 companies, with hopefully many more to come!
I also list out my Single Home Run Heroes – shares of companies that doubled in value.
If a company doubles again, it becomes a Double Home Run Hero. The uranium mining company Cameco (CCJ) went up so fast that it is not only my first Single Home Run Hero, but already a Double one as well.
I believe the Uranium investment theme is an extremely interesting one, and I plan to hold Cameco for a very long time, preferably forever.
Dividend Stock Purchases
In terms of investments, I put $11,800 to work.
Here are the shares I bought:
| Purchases | Shares | Invested |
| E.ON | 250 | $3,552 |
| Porsche | 50 | $2,715 |
| BASF | 50 | $2703 |
| Alibaba | 250 | $2,445 |
| AT&T | 25 | $432 |
| Total | $11,846 |
Knowing What To Buy
If I am unsure what position to add to, I often turn to Gurufocus.com.

- Possible Value Trap, Think Twice
- Significantly Overvalued

Dividend Breakdown – May 2020-2024
This chart shows all dividends in the month of May for the past years.
Many of those increases are due to additional money I invested in the respective stock.
Out of 17 stocks, two cut their dividends in those years, namely ProSiebenSat1, and Fresenius.
I can live with that and don’t want to trade in and out of these stocks.
So I am fine just holding through some weakness.
Conclusion
I am super happy with the progress of my passive income.
Writing detailed dividend breakdowns like this one helps me crystallize and structure my thoughts.
