I invest in stocks and options. I manage DivGro, a portfolio of dividend growth stocks created in January 2013. The primary goal of DivGro is to generate a reliable and growing dividend income stream. I use options to boost dividend income, primarily covered calls but also uncovered puts. My blog hosts a live and public spreadsheet with full details of DivGro so that readers can follow my investment journey. I write articles about dividend growth investing, options trading, investment decisions, stock selection, portfolio management, and passive income generation. I generate active income as an effects artist at a well-known animation studio in the Bay Area.

EC Covid-19 Dividend Cuts

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Global and US economy most likely will be long-term. I can't help but think the stock market is suffering from irrational exuberance.
Options Update: March And April 2020
Tuesday, May 26, 2020 2:17 AM EDT
It remains highly unlikely that I will achieve my 2020 goal to collect at least $24,000 in options income. I'm in a hole at this point, meaning I'd have to collect more than $24,000 in about eight months to achieve my options income goal.

Continuing with my new series of ranking dividend growth stocks in each of the GICS sectors, this article takes a look at the Health Care Sector.
Recently, I presented the top 50 holdings of dividend ETFs. Because there are no Materials and Real Estate sector stocks in the top 50, I'm now presenting the top 7 stocks in all GICS sectors regardless of the overall ranking.
I compile a virtual portfolio consisting of the top 50 holdings of dividend ETFs by analyzing the top 25 holdings in each ETF and assigning scores proportional to the size of each holding. Summing the scores of individual holdings allows me to rank them by popularity and so to find the top holdings.
With my monthly <i>10 Dividend Growth Stocks</i> series, I rank dividend growth stocks and present the 10 top-ranked stocks for further research. My ranking system is sector-focused. This month I decided to rank stocks in the <i>Industrials</i> sector.
In this article, I rank dividend growth stocks in the Information Technology sector and present the 10 top-ranked stocks for further research. My ranking system assigns letter grades to stocks relative to their performance among sector peers.
Recently I presented ten high-quality dividend growth stocks that are trading well below fair value. I presented 7-year yield channel charts for each stock to illustrate how the price line has moved lower to meet the undervalued yield line.

Covid-19 Dividend Cuts
Agreed. Add to that many "shared experience industries" -- restaurants, theaters, shows, theme parks, concerts, festivals, conferences, etc. etc. Any "comeback" will be muted by reduced attendance (enforced or by choice).
