On July 12, 2019, I bought an additional 55 shares of Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Total Income Fund (EDI) at $13.00 per share. With its monthly dividend payout of 0.1511 dollars per share, this latest buy has a dividend yield of 13.92% and will pay us an additional $8.31 (before tax) every month. Awesome!
I bought this share for our child's portfolio. Without hesitation, I can say - our 1-year-old baby has a dividend portfolio generating already $49.22/mo.
One Year Anniversary for the Child's Stock Investment Portfolio
This is already second time buying EDI, last (first time) we bought it back in 2018 (Latest Stock Buy: EDI)
Our child's portfolio now has as TTM at $590.64, giving daily $1.62 and hourly 0.07$. We are fast approaching more than $2 dollar a day.
I come up with a plan to build a high-yield $10,000 child investment portfolio by the time our baby girl will turn 2. (July 2020). Right now we are looking at $80-$100 monthly dividends by the time she will turn 2.
For the rest of the year, we are looking to get an additional dividend income of $42.36 (after tax) from this stock buy, which is about 2.07% from the total goal of $2,045 for 2019.
2018 in Review and Financial Goals for 2019
By now EDI takes 9.26% from our US stock portfolio, and also is one of the biggest dividend payers in the portfolio by now.
In total EDI now contributes about $154.08 yearly to the dividend income portfolio.
