My Annualized Dividend Income as of the end of December increased to $5,468 from $5,448 for the month. This means my dividend stocks will pay $5,468 in dividends over the next 12 months.

I made a few dividend stock purchases over the past month from dividend distributions. It looks like the economy has bottomed out and we had no more dividend cuts the last few months of the year.

My Dividend Income Goal for 2009 was $7,000 in yearly dividend income but due to the poor economy and dividend cuts, I had revised that goal to $5,500 and came up $32 short of the new goal. I will come up with new dividend and net worth goals for 2010 later this week.

Most of my stocks are held in my Zecco Trading account and the rest are DRIPs. The dividends from my stocks are reinvested but I am keeping track of the amount of income I could receive once I retire or choose to receive the dividends in cash.

I will post my Top 20 Stock Holdings on Wednesday.
