Weekly Dividend Moves: New Hikes, New Highs, and My Next Buy Plan

Hey friends — Max here.

Another solid week in the books — and a couple of fresh dividend hikes rolling into the portfolio. And you know what that means: new all-time highs in both monthly and annual dividend income.

Meanwhile, the market keeps throwing its mood swings around. One day it’s fireworks, the next it’s doom and gloom. Companies get crowned kings in the morning and executed by close because they “only” beat earnings instead of crushing them.

And me?
I’m having slow breakfasts with my wife, learning new chess lines, and yes — finally figured out how to solve a Rubik’s Cube. Life’s good.

And of course, I quietly bought more shares of my favorite businesses. No rush. No drama. Just stacking more dividends into my pocket and setting myself up for a bigger deposit on December 1 when November’s dividends hit my account.

Quarterly Hype? I’ll Join the Fun — My DIM Check-In

Everyone’s glued to earnings right now. Feels like Netflix should release a new series called “Q Season”.

So I figured: why not join the hype… but the dividend way?

Quarterly Dividend Income, or as I call it:
👉 Dividend Income Monthly (DIM)

Here’s how 2025 is shaping up:

• Q1’25 DIM (actual): $482 / month

• Q2’25 DIM (actual): $637 / month

• Q3’25 DIM (actual): $788 / month

• Q4’25 DIM (estimate): $827 / month
  (Already at $815. The MaxDividends App says I might beat expectations 😆)

Whether I’ll actually beat the projection — we’ll see in January. But honestly?

That’s all just a fun side quest.
When your income goes up almost every single week, there’s really only one job left — exactly what Charlie Munger taught us:

👉 Sit still. Do nothing. Let compounding work.
