Fourth week of September

A pretty quiet week. We did small restructuring in our portfolio during the week and we received some dividends. We sold our position in Kojamo @19,18 € and we reinvested the money to 83 shares of AT&T @28,6365 USD. We bought Kojamo @ 8,50 € so we realised 125,3 % profit. The reason for the change was that Kojamo's price has risen too high compared to its dividend. This move will increase our 2020 dividend income approximately by 31 € and for 2021 by 84 €. 

Dividends received this week:

•  On Tuesday 41,94 € from Blackrock. 

• On Wednesday 1 share of Main Street Capital as a DRIP @30,34 USD and remainder 5,18 €. 

So far we have received 377 € dividends in September and we will receive around 35 € before month is over. So, again we do not meet the target but we are getting close. The year 2020 target is really lost, but we are doing better than expected. 

3rd week of September

Again one week is behind. We received  nice amount of dividends this week. And we finally received the taxes back from Norway. We recorded the amount as dividend from Ocean Yield.  Norwegian Tax authority paid us 24,74 €. On Tuesday we received following dividends:

• 10,32 € from Exchange Income
• 6,54 € from Inter Pipeline
• 20,81 € from Realty Income Corp
• 27,87 € from Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corp

On Wednesday we received:

• 69,02 € from Duke Energy and
• 1,46 € from Main Street Capital

So total dividends were 160,76 €. We also reinvested dividends right away. We bought 25 shares of AT&T @29,4304 USD. This will increase 2020 dividend income by 9,36 €. We sold our position at Accor SA @24,18 €. We realised small profit on sell, but we do not follow these profits. 

We also noticed that Realty income increased dividends by 0,2 %. This will increase our dividend income by 0,15 € but we might lose it because of currency fluctuations. 

Our September dividends now exceeds the 2019 September dividends. We have now collected 295,92 € dividends in September.

 

 

Second week of September

We were quite active on second week of September. On Tuesday we received 14,24 € from Southern CO and 26,79 € from Johnson & Johnson. On Thursday we received 17,55 € from Whitestone REIT and 13,71 from Exxon Mobil. 

We reinvested our dividends and we bought 2 shares of LTC Properties @37,0872 USD. This will increase our 2020 dividend income approximately by 1,09 €. We bought 1 share of Iron Mountain @30,2091 USD. This will increase our 2020 dividend income 0,44 €. 

In September we have collected 135,16 € dividends. We will fall behind the target this month. Also Nordea annouced that it will not pay dividends this year, and board will make decision of 2019 dividend payment in January 2021. This was our last hope to reach 2020 target. Now it is certain that we will not reach the target of 5300 €. We probably end up to 5000 €, which is still better than dividends received in 2019. 

 

 

First week of September

New month started. This week we received last dividends of August and first dividends of September. We also paid our investment loan installment. We paid back 500,1 € principal and 25,84 € interests and fees. 

On Monday we received 9,46 € from LTC Properties and 19,97 CAD from Transalta Renewables Inc, which is approximately 12,82 €. So final amount of dividends in August was 411,26 €. On Tuesday we received first dividends of September. We received 33,30 CAD from Canadian Utilities which is approximately 21,37 €. Last dividends of the week were paid on Wednesday by Genworth MI Canada. We received 64,27 CAD which is 41,50 €.

We did some purchases this week:

On Monday we bought 27 shares of Keurig Dr Pepper @30,2293 USD. This will increase our year 2020 dividends approximately by 2,89 €. We also increased our position at AT&T by 4 shares @30,1384 USD. This will increase our year 2020 dividend income by 1,49 €. On Tuesday we increased our position at Exxon Mobil Corp by 3 shares @39,4405 USD and increased our year 2020 income by 1,86 €. On Thursday we bought 1 share of MSC Industrial Direct Co @68,4275 USD, adding 0,54 € to our year 2020 dividend income. On Friday we bought 3 shares of British American Tobacco Plc @2588,83 GBX and 40 shares of Tesco Plc @220,16 GBX. We expect these purchases to increase our year 2020 dividends by 1,75€ (BATS.L) and 0,9 € (TSCO.L). Prices include the fees. These purchases we made will increase this year dividends total of 9,43 €.

In August we fell 30,74 € short of our target and now we are total 133,65 € behind the target. For the second time this year we failed to increase our monthly dividend income compared to last year. In September we have collected 62,87 € dividends. Our forecast for September is not so good and we will fall more behind. Currency rates are not favourable to us. Still we expect to exceed the 2019 September dividends.
