My Dividend Stock Portfolio: New November Dividend Record - 100 Holdings With 12 Buys

I trimmed positions in NVDA and AMD due to valuation concerns and overexposure, favoring BDCs like ARCC, OBDC, and HTGC for yield. November dividend income reached a record $653, up 5% Y/Y, with BDCs now comprising 33% of total dividends despite potential sector-wide dividend cuts. My 2025 target is $11,000 in annual net dividends (8% growth), with flexibility to raise capital for real estate or travel if opportunities arise.

Dividend Income: Lanny's October 2025 Summary

In October, we (my wife and I) received a dividend income total of $3,948.78. Crushing it for an off-month – thanks to Vanguard (VOO) and Fidelity (FXAIX) for paying in October. We had quite a few dividend increases this month. So fortunate to be getting raises from companies and having the stocks of companies I own do all of the work. In total, dividend increases created $92.48 in additional passive dividend income.
