3rd and 4th week of September

Last weekend was so hectic that we did not have time for our weekly update. During this two week period, we made a few transactions and received good amount of dividends. 

On 15th Realty Income annouced yet another dividend increase by 0,2%. This will increase our 2022 dividend income approximately by 5,35 €. 

Octopus Bidco made cash offer to buy Ocean Yield stocks at 41 NOK. As the largest owner has already accepted the offer, we reluctantly decided to jump off the wagon and realize the loss without waiting formal resolution.

We made following transactions:

• Bought 3 shares of Main Street Capital @40,7939 USD
• Bought 6 shares of Capman @3,02666 €
• Bought 3 shares of Sabra Healt Care Reit @15,7156 USD

• 10,76 € from Exchange Income
• 21,12 € from Realty Income

• 70,71 € from Duke Energy
• 43,56 € from Manulife Financial Corp
• 0,21 € from Gladstone Investment Corp BDC

Second week of September 2021

This week was a solid one. We received good amount dividends and we did some transactions. 

This weeks transactions were:

• Sold 120 AT&T @27,55 USD, realised 333,13 € loss
• Bought 10 British American Tobacco @27,343 £

• Sold 5 Sampo @43,87600, realised 21,31 € profit

Now we have closed our position in AT&T. 

Dividendwise the week was also good, we received following dividends:

• 16,06 € from Southern Co
• 24,51 € from NN Group
• 9,60 € from Walgreens Boots Alliance
• 28,82 € from Johnson & Johnson
• 0,71 € from Lumen Technologies
• 17,45 € from ExxonMobil Corp

Total amount of dividends this week was  97,15 €. This is a decent amount for 2nd week of the month, which usually is very weak in our portfolio. 

First Week of September 2021

This week we received last dividends of August and first dividends of September and it was also time to pay our investment loan installments. This time we paid 17,51 € interests and fees and 508,02 € principal.

We made only one purchase this week. We bought 14 shares of  Abbvie @111,05531 USD. This will increase our 2022 dividend income by 12,84 €. Also Verizon annouced dividend increase of 0,0125 USD per share. This will increase our dividend income by 3,53 € in 2022.

On the last day of August we received:

• 13,61 € from LTC Properties
• 37,64 € from Waypoint Reit
• 13,40 € from Transalta Renewables
• 0,26 € from Gladstone Commercial Reit
• 0,50 € from Gladstone Investment Corp BDC
• 0,64 € from Sabra Health Care Reit
  

So we received 399,90 € dividend income in August, which is a bit more than we expected.

On first days of September we received following dividends:

• 0,27 € from Cibus Nordic
• 50,20 € from Canadian Utilities
• 63,37 € from Enbridge Inc

Total amount of dividends in September is now 113,84 €.

 

 

 

 

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. 

Last week of July 2021

It was a pretty good ending for a month. We made one purchase, we bought 79 shares of Aktia Bank Oyj @11,82127 €. We are not sure how much this purchase will increase our 2022 dividend income, but Aktia will pay 0,43 €  in 2021 after the dividend ban is removed by ECB. We expect the dividend to be around the same level also in 2022. This would mean 33,97 € increase to yearly income. We might increase our position later on.

We received following dividends:

• 14,65 € from Ocean Yield
• 9,71 € from MSC Industrial Direct Co
• 13,53 € from LTC properties
• 17,13 € from Clime Capital
• 14,26 € from Cibus Nordic
• 13,50 € from Transalta Renewables
• 0,26 € from Gladstone Commercial Reit
• 0,49 € from Gladstone Investment Corporation BDC

Total amount of dividends in last week was 83,53 and in July was 558,21 €. So we met the monthly target of 525 €. We expect that we will not meet the monthly target in August due to reducing our position in AT&T. Luckily our cumulative income already exceeds the needed amount after August. 

Third week of July 2021

We were on vacation and we haven't followed market a lot, so we do not know what has happened in our portfolio except the dividends received. We did not have any other activities this week. 

We received following dividends:

• 0,59 € from Prospect Capital Corp
• 8,32 € from Apollo Investment Corp
• 1 share from Apollo Investment Corp DRIP worth of 23,11 €
• 25,45 € from Trancontinental Inc
• 1 share from Main Street Capital drip worth of 34,23
  
• -2,54 as witheld taxes from Main Street Capital DRIP
• 28,68 from Simon Property Group. 

Total amount of dividends this week was  117,84 €. 

second week of July 2021

This week was pretty ordinary. We made a couple of purchases, received a few dividends. Duke Energy announced dividend increase of 0,02 USD per share. This will increase our yearly dividend income by 5,64 €. In order to receive same amount without the dividend hike we would have needed to invest 176,60 € new capital to Duke Energy.

We bought:

• 28 shares of Wallgreens Boots Alliance @46,97857 USD
  
• 18 shares of Citycon @7,575 €

Wallgreens Boots Alliance will increase our expected dividend income  by 37,70 € in 2022 and 18,86 € in 2021. We are expecting Citycon to contribute 9 € to 2022 income and 4,5 € 2021 income. 

Current estimation shows that we are 950 € short from 2022 dividend goal. This is quite substantial amount and would mean that we need to invest approximately 32 000 € new capital to reach the goal if there is no changes in dividends. To meet the goal we really need more dividend increases.

We received following dividends:

• 18,42 € from Whitestone REIT
• 1,47 € from Main Street Capital
• 0,93 € from Apple Hospitality REIT
• 3,62 € from Keurig Dr Pepper
• 6,89 € from Inter Pipeline
• 10,88 € from Exchance Income
• 21,08 € from Realty Income Corp
• 35,15 € from Cardinal Heath Inc
• 42,11 € from Leggett & Platt
• 44,91 € from Spirit Realty Capital

Total amount of dividends this week was 185,46 €. Our total passive income in July is now 364,32 €.
