Great portfolio - i am more or less using your portfolio as a map for my IRA. :)

Where do you find the dividend payout dates? I've looked everywhere for info and I can't find it.

Not even close to the same thing Mesanixta. SDY & PID pay 4 times a year. My portfolio pays evey week of the year.
Which brings me to another point of my dislike of mutual funds. As Stockopoly shows, with 13 stocks you can have a weekly income for life with dividneds. Look at how many stocks are in a normal mutual fund - hundereds! They are getting dividends paid to them almost daily, yet they pay you four times a year! No thanks, I'd rather do it myself.

So why not just purchase SDY and PID? Wouldn't you be accomplishing the same thing? Are you concerned about the loss via management fees?

See Realty Income (O). It is a REIT that pays the 15th (or third week) of every month.

MAT only pays once a year. For Stockopoly to work, it must pay a quartely dividend in the same time slot. You can choose any stocks that you want to fill the slots - the ones listed are working for me but anyone can choose any stocks that they want as long as they fill the weekly slots.
In fact, the stocks that I have are not the same as those listed in the book. Make do with what you have already in your portfolio and then adjust it so that you have a goal. My goal is to have weeklly income that increases every year. The stocks listed do that. But they are not the only stocks that do.

Great idea. Love what you have done. Might look at the dividends on Mattel, Inc (MAT). Have increased since about 2003. Looks like they pay about the second week of December.

There are only 11 stocks listed because Realty Income (O) is a REIT that pays monthly. So it takes the place of two other stocks in a quarter. It always pays on the 15th of every month.

PCU - the dividend is huge but it's all over the place. I want consistent, safe payers in a definite time slot that pay an increasing dividend.
