Seven of our holdings have dividend related action this month.

They do, however, form part of the total return on an investment and so I provide details here for my copiers that are interested.
You should never base an investment decision solely on the dividend. That would be extremely foolish.
We have already earned dividends from $MA (Mastercard)$DHI (D.R. Horton Inc) and $AHT.L (Ashtead Group) In addition, we received the Mastercard dividend today.
Later on this month we will earn dividends from $AAPL (Apple)$V (Visa) MSCI and Verisign. The dividends from DHI, Apple, MSCI and Verisign will also be received in August.
Full details are given in the table below

These dividends will be fully reinvested. I started an investment in Booking Holdings last month. Following on from that, the current cash balance of the portfolio is 2.74% and that will be reinvested very soon.
