The market started to see a rebound over the course of April as Trump dialed back the aggressiveness on some of the tariff policies that were going to be implemented. Whatever ends up happening, I continue to collect my dividends month after month, which I can then allocate towards discounted stocks. This month, I initiated a position in ASML Holdings (AMSL) and I plan to accumulate $10,000 of that position over the next quarter. I recently published an analysis about it that I recommend you reading.

For the month of April, I received $3,108 in dividend income. This was as a slight reduction in income because some of the option ETFs that I hold paid out less. This is typical of these sort of high yielding option ETFs; they can adjust payments according to the markets direction and the underlying performance of the equities that it holds.
