FWIW

These are my estimates of the portfolio balance for some dates since 2006 spaced roughly quarterly, and the estimates of the forward one year cash dividends.
Note! That's quarterly dates, but anticipated one YEAR of dividends.

The dividend dollar amounts expected are just the balance on that date times the estimated forward yield at the date shown. The yields are calculated by actually running the screen on old Value Line export files, though I didn't do it for every single date.

The numbers are probably off by a bit, mainly because forward dividend yield figures are not always right. But the "real" figures are probably not too different. Except maybe the spring 2020 one, since the pandemic threw off dividends by quite a bit - lots of cuts.
