Dividend (D) Day

Nothing I enjoy more than seeing my stocks go x dividend.  While I almost always reinvest the dividend, it feels like I am building wealth.  Today and tomorrow, 5 of my securities go x dividend. 

It is simple mathematics, but I love the compounding of dividends. The table below shows my expected quarterly dividends for 2013.  Note the amount goes up each quarter as I have more shares of the stocks each quarter as I re-invest my dividends.  This does not include the potential impact of companies raising their dividends (happened 23 times in 2012 for me).  I know the dividend growth isn't mind numbing, but I am not trying to get rich quick, I am ok with getting rich slowly and safely.

 
Date Dividend
1q2013              9,434
2q2013              9,538
3q2013              9,644
4q2013              9,751

Then here is my securities that pay monthly:
