Fourth week of August 2021

This week was very boring. Brookfield Infrastructure and Inter Pipeline merge happened but something went wrong in our portfolio and we asked clarification from our broker. We are sure that this will be sorted out shortly. In short, we received too small amount of Brookfield Infrastructure shares, and we received more CAD than we expected. Also our portfolio now has unexpected USD debt which matches to purchasing the stocks we received and we are missing CAD matching the price of the received stocks. 

We did not make any transactions this week and we received only following dividends:

• 6,26 € from British American Tobacco
•  27,84 € from Royal Bank of Canada
• 1 share from Main Street Capital DRIP worth of 36,70 €
  
• -3,74 € withheld taxes from Main Drip

Total amount of dividends this week was 67,06 and so far this month 333,85€. We are still expecting to receive the usual dividends on last day of the month, but we will fall short of our monthly target as expected. 

3rd week of August 2021

Our week was pretty uneventful. We received small amount of dividends and reinvested some money.

This week we made following transactions:

• Bought 1 share of Capman @3,07 €
• Bought 3 shares of Main Street Capital @42,8947 USD
• Bought 5 shares of Merus Power Oyj @8,484 €

And we received following dividends: 

• 0,60 € from Prospect Capital Corp
• 0,31 € from Vodafone Drip leftovers
• 6,92 € from Inter Pipeline Ltd
• 21,27 € from Realty Income Corp
• 48,53 € from Omega Healthcare Investors
• 1,44 € from Diversified Healthcare Trust

Our this week's dividends were 79,18 €. So week was pretty weak. Our total amount in August is 266,79 € so far. It seems that August and November will be our weakest months this year.

Second week of August 2021

This week was pretty quiet dividendwise. So we spent some time restructuring our portfolios. We sold some of the tiny positions and increased some others. The reason for this is upcoming increase of the transaction fees by our bank. This way we can keep our transactional fees reasonable. This price increase is inconvienient, since it was very nice to be able to reinvest dividends right away and get new companies "under the radar" by buying them to portfolio. 

This week we also approved Brookfield Infrastructure Partners offer of buying Inter Pipeline. We opted for receiving BIPC shares instead of cash. Unfortunately we will lose one of our monthly paying stocks.

We made following transactions (prices includes fees):

• SOLD 10 shares of Stellantis @17,77 €, we realised 35,59 € profit
• SOLD 120 shares of Tesco @ 2,4132 £, we realised 10,15 € profit
• BOUGHT 6 shares of Main Street Capital @42,8846 USD. 
• BOUGHT 5 shares of Nordea @10,274 €
• BOUGHT 5 shares of British American Tobacco @27,41454 £
• BOUGHT 1 share of Exxon Mobil Corp @58,5295 USD
• BOUGHT 189 shares of Algonquin Power Utilities @19,98646 CAD

Net effect to the dividend income in 2022 is approximately 87,87 €. 

We received following dividends:

• 18,75 € from Whitestone REIT
• 1,48 € from Main Street Capital
• 11,00 € from Exchange Income 
• 33 shares of Vodafone worth of 46,61 €

Total amount of dividends received this week was 77,84 € and total in August so far is 167,28 €. 

 

First week of August 2021

A new has month started. We do not expect to reach our monthly goal this month since we sold most of our AT&T positions earlier. We will most likely receive around 350 € during August. 

Our month started as usual our regular investment loan payback. We paid  510,50 € principal and 15,05 interests and fees. 

Main Street Capital announced the dividend increase of 0,005 USD. This will increase our 2022 dividend income by 10,31 €

We were active this week and made some changes to our positions:

• Sold 1 share of Kesko @33,51. We realised 5,43 profit, and this will decrease our 2022 dividends by 0,56 €
• Sold 15 shares of Capman @3,06866. We realised 5,53 € profit and this will decrease dividends in y22 by 0,22€
• Bought 1 share of Sampo @42,99 €. This will increase our y22 income by 1,26 €
• Bought 4 shares of Main Street Capital @41,7433 USD. This will increase our y22 income by 7,11 €
• Bought 14 shares of Sampo @41,895 €. This will increase our y22 income by 23,80 €
• Sold 110 shares of Cibus Nordic Real Estate @233,8586 SEK. We realised 716,58 € profit and this will decrease our y22 income by 89,76 €.

The Cibus stock price went up so much that we felt it is too expensive and decided to reduce our position heavily. We do have alert on stock price so we get back to it when it is at the right level. We will open new position in another company next week when we have transferred the money to another broker. Net effect of our activity to dividends in 2022 was -48,06 €.

We received following dividends:

• 44,68 € from AT&T
• 44,76 € from Verizon

So we received total of 89,44 € dividends.
