last full week of September

Last week we forgot to report one dividend payment. Lets add it here first. On last week's Friday we received 3,54 € dividends from Dominion energy after taxes and fees deducted.

In this week we received 40,04 € dividends from BlackRock Inc after taxes and fees deducted. HSBC and Saratoga Investment Corp paid their dividend on 26th September but because we are DRIPing those we do not yet see these on our portfolio. Usually DRIPs have taken up to one week before we can see the dividends. Of course we could calculate it but we have been reporting them based on what we can see on our accounts.

This week we bought 230 shares of Monmouth Real Estate Investmen Corp @14,26 USD.

We are now missing 372,88 € of our this years' target, and we have accumulated 90,42% so far. Last quarter is about to start and that has traditionally been worst quarter for us. Still we are very confident that we will reach our target with flying colours.

Third week of September

Our week started with usual mid-month dividends. On 16th of September we received dividends from two Canadian companies and one US company. From  Dream Global Reit we received 9,92 CAD dividends after taxes deducted. This is approximately 6,80 €. From Inter Pipeline Ltd we received 34,46 CAD after taxes, which is approximately 23,62 €. From Duke Energy we received 8,53 € after the taxes and fees deducted.

We also invested most of our Canadian dollars on 16th of September. We decided to buy Methanex Corp shares. We bought  65 shares @51,70 CAD. Now almost all our Canadian dollars are spent.

On 17th September we decided to buy 100 shares of Leggett & Platt Inc @ 41,82 USD.

On 18th we received 20,37 € from Main Street Capital after taxes and fees deducted.

Rest of the week was quiet. 

Now we have accumulated 89,30 % of our this year's target, 3476,32 / 3892,78 €.

Second week of September

On the second week of September we bought a bit more shares and received few dividends. Our week started with dividends on 10th September from Johnson & Johnson which is one of our recent purchases. These were our first dividends from Johnson & Johnson. We received 3,64 € after taxes and fees deducted. 

On 11th of September we reinvested money received from dividends and sale of Gladstone. We bought 10 shares of Iron Mountain Inc @33,80 USD. We also increased positions in the energy sector in our portfolio by buying 300 shares of Transalta Renewables Inc @13.30 CAD. We also bought 200 shares of Taaleri @7,38 € and 10 shares of Abbvie Inc  @69,17 USD.

Our week ended with dividends from three of our positions. From Whitestone REIT we received 50.06 € after taxes and fees deducted and from Realty Income we received 17,05 € after taxes and fees deducted. From Exchange Income Corp we received 16,15 CAD dividends after taxes. This is approximately 11 €.

Our this week's income was 115,70 € after taxes and fees deducted. This raises our this year's passive income to 3417 €. Now our passive income is 51.8% higher than last year at the same period. We still have some dividends to come this month so the percentage will rise slightly. We have now accumulated 88,65% of our this year's target.

First week of September

First week of September was pretty busy as we decided to work with our portfolio a bit. Since we reorganized our loans earlier this year we now have little extra money for investments every month.

As in every month, we had our installment of investment loan. We paid back 213 € of capital and 7,95 € interests and fees.

On 3rd of September we received 32,33 CAD dividends from  Canadian Utilities which is approximately 22,10 €.

We finalised sale of some of our fixed assets and got some cash for investments. We opened few new positions and entered to new market this week. On 3rd of September we closed our Gladstone Capital Corporation position. We realized 134,99 € profit. The reason for closing the position was that stock price has risen too high.  We increased our position in BlackRock by 3 shares @414 USD and 10 shares @415 USD. We also increased our position at Saratoga Investment Corp by 50 shares  @25,09 USD.

On 4th of September we bought 2200 shares of Clime Capital @0,94 AUD and 100 shares of National Australia Bank Ltd.

On 5th of September we bought 100 shares of Cardinal Health @44,85 USD and 80 shares of Washington H. Soul Pattinson @20,80 AUD and we received interest income 0,22 CAD which is approximately 0,15 €.

On Friday we received 11,70€ dividends from Southern Co after taxes and fees deducted.

Our this week's passive income was 33,95 €.We only need to receive 557,53 € to reach this year's target. It seems that we will beat our estimate by 16%.
