Ordinary Dividend Income 2022/10
This month, I received ordinary dividends from 8 companies for a total of 1,011 USD. That’s about 500 USD more compared to last year’s October when I received 485 USD in ordinary dividends. I am of course happy with that increase, which is mainly due to the additional money I invested since then.
See the chart below showing how my ordinary dividend income develops since I started my All-Weather Portfolio in May 2020.

Ordinary Dividends In October 2022
It was the first time I received an ordinary dividend from the 🇸🇪Swedish REIT Castellum. This is a stock I have been following a lot and already reviewed before. 30% withholding tax was deducted, in line with Sweden’s withholding tax. I sent a withholding tax reduction claim fax to my broker but seems this did not go through.
In regards to Store Capital (STOR), I expect this is one or maybe the last dividend I will receive, as it is bought out by a Singaporean group.
Stock Purchases
I was again quite active and used the depressed stock prices to add to my core holdings. In total, I bought stocks worth
| Date | Company | Amount Invested |
| Oct 3 | 🇺🇸 Anheuser | $225 |
| Oct 4 | 🇺🇸 Welltower | $3,250 |
| Oct 6 | 🇨🇦 Brookfield | $3,998 |

| Oct 24 | 🇸🇬 DBS | $3,399 |
| Oct 25 | 🇺🇸 PG | $3,846 |
| Oct 26 | 🇬🇧 Reckitt | $3,409 |
| Oct 28 | 🇬🇧 Rio Tinto | $2,650 |

How To Grow Ordinary Dividend Income?
My strategy remains on buying stocks that yield good dividends.
With the $75,000 US I bought stocks with in September, it will take a few months before I’ll see an increase in my dividend income.
In general, I feel the markets priced it a lot of negativity already. Can the stock market still go down from here? Of course, it can, and most likely it will.
Investment Plan For November
I keep on focusing on buying buy-and-hold forever stocks such the AT&T dividend stock, P&G, or forms like Franco Nevada, in my opinion, the best gold stock in the world. I have no doubt these companies will outlive me. My investment time horizon is in decades, not years or even months.
By focusing on the ordinary dividends I will receive in the years to come from these excellent businesses, I am super relaxed and chilled about whatever the stock market has in store for us in the coming weeks and months.
Other Passive Income
Besides the above-listed dividends of 1,011 USD, I also earned 11,616 USD in other forms of passive income. In other words, the income I generated from ordinary dividends in October represents approx. 9% of my total passive income.
