Starting this month, I will start posting my monthly dividend stock purchases. A few have requested for me to share what I purchased, so here you go!
For the month of May, I took part in the following dividend stocks.
I sold off my cryptocurrency investment in ADA, MATIC and ANKR as I wanted to focus on more dividend paying stocks.
Was a bit REIT heavy this month, which is fine as I’ve invested in all eleven sectors. But it added to about $235 of yearly dividend income.

As you can see, I purchased more QYLD. I’m planning on holding this forever, keep on purchasing it as I have a high conviction for it. The only one that I’m not so sure about is USOI. But we’ll see. It’s probably the riskiest investment I made for the month.
But everything is set to DRIP, which is to automatically reinvest dividends into additional (or fractional) shares to add to that certain stock for your dividend portfolio.
While I sold a lot of crypto, I did invest on the dip. I spent $20 on XLM (which is $18.51 as $1.49 goes to fees) and I got about 51.8 more XLM. I did invest $17.29 on dogecoin on the dip and got 58 dogecoins (so weird that I’m buying dozens of dogecoin when back in 2017, I was able to get 10,000 dogecoin for $20). I also spent $15 on ANKR (well, $13.51 minus the fees) which got me 132 ANKR.
But that was my May 2021 Dividend Stock Purchases.
