Our bank failed to deliver us remainder of Main Street Capital DRIP and Tesco PLC dividends.

MSC declared special cash dividend of 3,50 USD payable december 15th. This will increase our 2020 dividends by 44,98 €.

Hp Inc annouced dividend increase by 10%. This will increase our 2021 dividends by 0,30 €.

We bought 21 shares of LTC Properties @39,1375 USD. This will increase our dividend income approximately by 5,70 € in 2020.

We have received 516,87 € dividends in November. November is currently our second best month this year right after February. If we receive all the dividends which should arrive November will be the best month this year. Current estimation shows that we might reach the target of 5300 after all, thanks to MSC special dividend. It will be close call.

 

2nd week of November

Again one quiet week is over. Only three dividend payments received and made one purchase with dividends. 

On Thursday we received 17,63 € from Whitestone REIT. On Friday we received 1,79 from British American Tobacco and 10,39 € from Exchange Income. Once again our bank failed to transfer us dividends from Realty Income and Main Street Capital.

We bought 1 share of LTC Properties @36,5115 USD.

We have collected 240,43 € dividends in November. 

 

 

First week of November

A new month started. We paid our monthly investment loan installments. We paid back 500,61 € principal and 25,1 € interests and fees. Our investment loans have a fixed principal amount and fees and interests are added to the installment. So our installments varies depending how many interest days there are between the payments. We usually round up the payment to even number so actually the principal paid back varies a bit. Our normal principal payment is 494,69 €/month. 

On November 2nd we received all our dividends due this week. We received 164,91 € from AT&T and 45,75 € from Verizon. 

We reinvested the dividends and bought 4 shares of Iron Mountain @26,664 USD and 1 share of Johnson & Johnson @139,53 USD. Only Johnson & Johnson pays dividend this year and thus increases our this year dividend income approximately by 0,73 €. We also bought 50 shares of Canadian Utilities @31,90 CAD. This will increase our dividend income by 11,69 € in 2020. 

We have received total of 210,66 € dividends in November and 4 452,60 € in 2020. Our target was 5300 € so we have now received 84 %. As stated earlier we will not reach the target. 

 

Last week of October

This was a pretty decent week. We finally received missing dividends we have been waiting for. On Tuesday we received 20,99 € from Realty Income Corp and on Wednesday 48,06 € from Telia. On Friday we received following dividends:

• 2,93 € from Keurig Dr Pepper
• 14,92 € from Clime Capital LTD
• 12,85 € from Transalta Renewables Inc
• 10,74 € from LTC Properties

We reinvested our dividends and bought one share of Abbvie @85,6177. Abbvie also announced dividend increase of 10,2 % this week. This purchase does not increase our 2020 income but dividend increase and purchase will increase our dividend income by 6,40 USD in 2021. 

Our October dividend income was 438,26 € in total. A bit less than our target was but we managed to increase our income by 36,56% from 2019 October. We are now 178,06 € behind our 2020 target. If our prediction is correct we will receive around 5250 € out of 5300. This is pretty good result considering that covid-19 surprised us.
