I own 78 AAPL shares at an average cost of $22.55 per share. AAPL's contribution to DivGro's projected annual dividend income will increase by $3.12 to $81.12.
My yield on cost is now 4.61%.
Since I opened my position in May 2016, the stock has generated a total return of 811%, including $540.74 in dividend income. That's a spectacular annualized rate of return of 27.9%!
AAPL became DivGro's 18th Home Run stock in August 2018, when the stock doubled my original capital outlay.
