$170 of free money!! I love it. Not sure why all the parts were declared separately - maybe from separate purchases? - but each type used the same share price for each instance. But I'm pretty happy. My net worth will get a nice bump when all activity goes through for this month - I sent in money to fill out the rest of my Roth (about $2600) and with the whole balance transfer fiasco, Discover only ended up giving me a credit like of $6k so I am just going to pay the rest off, rather than pay the default 10% on the BoA card. Plus my retirement contributions for the month don't generally hit until the 5th-9th, which is why I wait to update my net worth till then. Can't wait for my new higher contributions to kick in at the end of this month!!

Hi Kira! Congrats on the dividends. Notice how they're all broken up into three parts. I'll bet they are (1) dividends, (2) short-term capital gains, and (3) long-term capital gains, which are all taxed at different rates in non-sheltered accounts but don't really matter for your retirement account.
Dividends aren't extra money really - the value of each fund unit will fall by the amount of the dividend. Matt is right about the breakdown.
