Yeay! First Dividend Cheque!!!

Dividend cheque from Baker Technology
Yesterday, I've finally received the very first dividend cheque (for Baker Technology Limited) in my entire life. Being a small retail investor, the amount on the cheque is negligible, might be even lower than some of you folks' investment commission fee. However, I am still very happy as it is not the amount that counts, it is the SIGHT of real passive income that count.
 
I am pretty sure that this is just the beginning and I hope to be able to build up a size-able portfolio (both in cash and CPF fund) to accumulate more such dividend income (hopefully). I might act slowly, but surely, my portfolio will increase in size. ;-)
 
I am expecting another even smaller dividend cheque from another counter (Straco Corporation) this week. So, the next question for me is : how to "use" these money? Since they are just a couple hundreds, I guess I will just accumulate them to my piggy "capital" for subsequent reinvestment.
 
Can you still remember when did you receive your first dividend cheque? How do you spend (or use) it for? 
 
Cheers!

    It's wise to accumulate this in your piggy capital for your next re-investment; compounding effect.

  4. Is much easier and hassle free to credit dividends into your bank account directly.

    In addition, If using Poem, i opened a cash management account to buy/sell shares. I can transfer cash to my bank and vice versa easily. Is quite straight forward.

  7. Congrats on your first dividend.

    Feels good right?

    So much better than the miserable bank's interest rate. Do re-invest your dividends and let it's compounding effect do the job :)

    Cheers!

      Thanks. Yup! It definitely feel much much more better than the bank's interest rate. Not only it is more but it is also touch-able (the cheque) ;-)
