More Shares of Ford Purchased

Because of adding capital and some successful recent trades from KDK Options (USO trade here and FXY trade here), KDK Fund has purchased more shares of Ford. The cost per share was $11.63 before commissions and fees. There is no price or time frame to sell.

The dividend will increase 25% from last quarter's regular $0.15 dividend. Because of reinvestment of dividends, the increase will be higher. The total quarterly dividend for the fund will increase 20%. Reinvested dividends account for 4% of the total owned shares of Ford.

KDK Fund is very excited to continue to build wealth and provide needed assistance to important charitable ventures like Shriner's Hospital in Chicago.

Importance of Dividends

Building a solid dividend base should be one of your first priorities when building a long term portfolio. The advantages include quarterly cash payments for each security, the opportunity to reinvest those cash payments (regularly at no cost) for increased wealth, regular cash flow, and more. KDK Fund will be finding securities with a decent dividend so as to be able to return a percentage back to investors.

Researching how to find stable securities with a growing dividend amount is not that hard. You can use most any financial web site like Yahoo! Finance. Dividendchannel.com is also a decent resource.
