End of the first quarter of 2023

It has been while since the blog was updated. Mainly because so little has happened. As our portfolio has been very small due to fact we sold most of our position at the end of the last year. However we have been active in rebuilding our portfolio slowly and steadily. During March we made several small purchases. Dividendwise the last month was quite quiet also. We only received one or two very small dividend payments per week. 

During the first quarter we managed to double our stock portfolio compared to end of the year 2022 because we had better free cashflow since we do not have any debt. At end of the first quarter 2023 we have more cash available than in end of the year but we have to reserve some cash for additional tax bill as the taxation of 2022 is about to be finalized. 

There has been no changes in Coop memberships or Investment funds. The reason is that the investment fund is only valuated once a year at the middle of the second quarter.

We made quite many very small purchases, we do not list them here at this point of time but we update the income graphs. In February we received 104,91 € capital income and in March the income was 136,45 €. We are back on track to increase monthly capital income. The numbers we have now are lowest in 6 year history of keeping track of income monthly.  We expect to reach approximately the same grand total we reached 2017. 

Anyway we are very happy that our investment portfolio has started to recover.
