Two weeks since last update

As mentioned earlier, things have been very quiet. Last weekend we were on a mini vacation, which is why there was no blog update. Another reason is that during that week we did not receive any passive income. We did make one purchase, though.

This week was slightly better in terms of income. As usual, the 15th brought several dividends, and a few more arrived on other days. During this two week period we received the following dividends:

  • 3,23 € from Apple Hospitality Reit
  • 46,60 € from  Realty Income
  • 37,96 € from Main Street Capital
  • 0,02 € from Dynacor
  • 7,41 € from Northland Power
  • 19,42 € from Exchange Income
  • 5,70 € from Fiera Capital

In total we received 120,34 € over these two weeks. This is very low compared to our normal weekly levels. Despite the weak numbers, the month has still been good compared to last year. We have already collected the same amount of dividends as in the entire month of June last year. We have also passed the full year total of 2021.

So at the moment 2026 is firmly holding third place in terms of income, even though more than half of the year is still ahead.

 

Then to the purchases. We have been holding back on new investments while waiting for our tax assessment to be finalized. We knew we would have to pay some additional taxes, but we did not know the exact amount. This week we finally received the final numbers.

We could have paid the taxes in two installments, but we decided to take care of everything at once. We wanted the whole thing off our mind, and sometimes it is better to just rip the band‑aid off. In total we paid around 2 800 € in additional taxes.

Because of that, our recent investments have been very small. Here is the breakdown of the last two weeks:

  • 0,9599 shares of Verizon @47,76539 USD
  • 0,1822 shares of Bank of Montreal @236,55 CAD
  • 15,6132 shares of Emera @72,05249 CAD

All of these purchases will increase our 2026 income, even the fractional ones, because they pushed us over the threshold to new full shares.
