4th week of September 2022

Yet another week passed by. The week was pretty ordinary. We received dividends and reinvested them. The value of portfolio has decreased quite lot this week, but we do not really follow it. We focus more on following development of cashflow. The value of the portfolio is secondary. 

We bought following shares:

• 12 shares of Kesko A @19,66333 €
• 5 shares of Kemira @11,968 €

We estimate that these purchases will increase our 2023 income approximately by 15 €. It's not much but still it's progress. We now have 14 weeks' head start building 2023 portfolio. 

This week we received following dividends:

• 11,27 € from Dominion Energy
• 74,52 € from Kesko A
• 67,43 € from Blackrock Inc
• 2,10 € from Capman
• 58,12 € from Manulife Financial
• 1 share of Main Street Capital DRIP worth 40,49 €
• 7,43 € as a remainder of Main DRIP

Total amount of dividends received this week was 261,36 € which is better than average. We have accumulated 709,36 € so far in September. This means that we will exceed our target of 725 €. So far we have had only 3 months below our target pace, January, February and August. Rest of the months we have reached the target. In 2022 we have only reached next year's monthly target of 1000 € in April and May so we really need to put our cash to work.

Third week of September 2022

It happened on Friday! We reached our goal for investment income for 2022. Last year we set target at 8700 € and we reached that after Duke Energy dividends arrived. So from now on we will not follow how our transactions will effect on this year's income. Instead we start tracking and building our next year's cashflow. 

Next year we want to receive 12 000 € investment income to our accounts. That would mean 1000 € monthly cashflow. So target has been increased by whopping 37,9% from 2022.

This week KeurigDrPepper announced dividend increase of 6,7%. We estimate that this will increase our 2023 dividend income approximately by 1,50 €. Also Realty Income announced expected dividend increase of 0,0005 usd to monthly dividends. This will have around 0,60 € positive impact to our 2023 income. 

We made following purchases this week:

• 96 shares of Cibus Nordic Real Estate @162,51171 SEK. 
• expected effect to 2023 income: +81,60 €
  
• 9 shares of Kemira @11,96333 €
  
• expected effect to 2023 income: +5,22 €
• 35 shares of Tele2 B @105,50914 SEK
• expected effect to 2023 income: +20 €
• 5 shares of Kesko A @20,03 €
• Expected effect to 2023 income: +3,95 €

Above purchases cover almost 1 % of our next year's target.

• 9,48 € from Main Street Capital
• 7,75 € from Apple Hospitality Reit
• 19,24 € from Exchange Income

Total amount of dividends this week was 172,66 €. So far we have received 448,00 € in dividends in September.

 

Second week of September 2022

This week started by Verizon announcing expected dividend increase. Verizon increased dividend by 1,95% or 1,125 cnt/share. This will increase our 2022 dividend income approximately by 0,96 €. 

This week we bought 23 shares of Kesko A @20,24174. This purchase will increase our 2022 dividends by 12,19 €.

• 5 shares of Tele 2 AB @114,84013 SEK 
• 6 shares of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce @62,87333 CAD

Kesko shares will increase our 2022 dividend income by 29,68 € and Tele2 AB approximately by 1,40 €. Purchase of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce will increase our dividends approximately by 3,20 €.
