I’ve only
two trades to hit the $3,000 expected dividend income by the end of this year.
On the last trading day of the week, I decided to buy a new stake from the
utility sector. It was the electric utility stock Xcel Energy. I was impressed
about the solid earnings and dividend growth in the past. For sure the debt
ratios are not impressive but for a utility company almost solid.
I purchased
50 shares at $28.21 which resulted in $1,410.50 total investment cost. The
stake should increase the current portfolio income by $55 bucks per year to a
total estimated amount of $2,934.19. That’s very close to my minimum target of
$3,000.
 |
| Earnings and Dividends of Xcel Energy |
XEL has a
low forward P/E of 14.17 and yields at 3.97 percent. That’s a good number in my
view because earnings are expected to grow by 6.70 percent for the next five
years.

--------------------------------------
For readers
who are new to the matter and my dividend growth philosophy: I funded a virtual
portfolio with 100k on October 04, 2012 with the aim to build a passive income
stream that doubles each five to ten years. I plan to purchase each week one
stock holding until the money is fully invested. The total number of
constituents is expected at 50 – 70 companies and the dividend income should be
at least at $3,000 per year.
--------------------------------------
Stockholdings
of the Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio are up 9.99 on average. Due to
the high cash amounts over the recent year, the total performance is only at
10.21 percent. The major indices increased by 20 to 35 percent.

For sure,
the portfolio did not beat the market, but was not really invested. The major
goal is also not to make quick money. The aim is to create a stable dividend
income that doubles each ten years or less.
With
remaining cash of $14,677, it’s still possible to boost the current income by $500
bucks but I plan to hold a significant amount of cash in order to be liquid when
the markets are losing ground. Only in falling markets raises the possibility
to get cheap long-term bets.
Here is the income perspective of the portfolio
