Midsummer 2021

It is Midsummer fest. So nothing happens today and that's why update comes a day earlier than usual. Again it was a very satisfying week with activity almost every day. We had maintenance time for our cars, so we spent some of the cash we received from selling AT&T and reinvested rest of the cash. 

We bought 33 shares of Gilead Sciences @67,15152 USD. This will increase our 2021 dividend income by 31,60 €.  Also Simon Property Group annouced dividend increase. This increase means approximately 4 € increase to 2021 dividends. 

We received following dividends:

• 5,39 € from Dominion Energy
• 46,94 € from Blackrock 
• 44,26 € from Manulife Financial Group
• 1 share of Main Street Capital worth of 34,45€
• -3,17 as withholding tax from Main Street Capital DRIP

Dividend amount this week's was 127,87 €. It seems that June will be this year's second best month so far, which is pretty good since summer months have been bad months earlier in dividendwise. 

Third week of June 2021

This week was pretty usual one. We made few small purchases and received some dividends.
We bought:

• 1 share of Capman @2,80 €
• 1 share of Kesko @28,08 €

These will increase our dividend income by 0,33 € in 2021. 

We received following dividends

• 6,93 € from Inter Pipeline
• 10,97 € from Exchange Income
• 20,51 € from Realty Income
• 28,91 € from Monmouth REIT
• 67,43 € from Duke Energy
• 1 share from NN Group worth of 41,16
• 2,94 € from remainder from NN Group
• 0,35 € from Lumen Technologies
• 1,43 € from Main Street Capital
• 0,42 € from Gladstone Investment Corp BDC

Total amount of dividends in June is now 537,12 € so we met the monthly target of 525 € early. Cumulative passive income reached the level where we should be at end of July, being now 3786,25 €.

 

Second week of June

This week was nice. We received some dividends and we made few small purchases. Overall we had some activity almost every day of the week. 

This week we bought 125 shares of Citycon @7,724 € to tax advantaged account and 10 shares of Tesco Plc @ 2,28644 £. We are expecting these purchases increase our dividend income at least by 18,75 €. 

This week we received following dividends:

• 15,65 € from Southern Co
• 227 € from Taaleri
• 28,03 € from Johnson & Johnson
• 17,72 € from Whitestone Reit
• 16,36 € from ExxonMobil

 Total amount of dividends received this week was 304,76 € (355,48 € in June) which is pretty good. We are in good pace and we have almost reached the level were we should be at end of July. 

 

Start of the June

Dividendwise this week was pretty quiet, but as we are restructuring our portfolio in some extend we had quite many transactions. Also we made our investment loan payments this week. We paid back 502,33 € principal and 23,26 € fees and interests. 

This week we made following transactions:

• Sold 325 shares of AT&T (T) @ 29,1683
  
• Bought 780 shares of Waypoint Reit (WPR.AX) @ 2,6328 AUD
• Bought 133 shares of Enbridge Inc (ENB.TO) @46,83359 AUD

• Bought 1 share of Dominion Energy (D) @76,96 USD
• Bought 4 shares of Gladstone Investment Corp BDC (GAIN) @14,5945 USD

We do still have some cash left from sell of AT&T shares. We will use some of it for expenses and reinvest the rest within 2 weeks.We still have some AT&T shares left in our portfolio.

This week's transactions will reduce our 2021 dividend income approximately by 67,35 €. 

We received received following dividends this week:

• 7,48 € from Cibus Nordic, in May
• 13,56 € from Transalta Renewables Inc, in May
• 50,72 € from Canadian Utilities, in June

So total amount of passive income in May was 1011,31€, which is second best month ever for us. Dividend income collected in June is 50,72 € since we have received only one dividend so far. Our cumulative passive income year to date is 3299,85 €. So we have now received 52,38 % of our target.
