Project: Dividend Stocks for Teenager April Dividends update

I wrote how we started Dividend Stocks portfolio for my daughter and keep track of our progress here.

We didn't purchase any stocks in April.

Overall portfolio gain so far is +6.5%, it would look much better if LHO would not be so lucking but hopefully it will get better soon. :)

LHO paid  $19.11 in dividends this month and it was the only one dividend stock this month.

Here is the dividends month by month:
