Recent buy: Whitestone REIT

I am not yet investing for a long time (since last april) my longest positions include Coca-Cola (NYSE;KO) and Royal Dutch Shell (AEX;RDSA), which are to date also my largest positions.

In august and september I started, and later expanded, a position in Whitestone REIT (NYSE; WSR). Whitestone is a fully integrated real estate investment trust that owns operates and redevelops community centered properties. An eleborate analysis you can read here. A stock price of under $15 was named in the article.

On August 12th I bought my first 16 shares for $15,06 per share, totaling €216,63 including transaction fees. However, the stock price was dropping so on august 24th I bought another 22 shares for $14,80 per share, totaling another €290,50. And two days later I bought another 12 shares for $14,55 per share.

So my total position in WSR is now 50 shares or a total investment of €663,80. 

WSR pays it's dividend on a monthly basis. It pays $0,095 per share per month. This totals my 12 month dividend income for WSR to $57 (or €50,89 at current exchange rates). 
Yield on Costs comes to 7,7%.

WSR hasn't increased it's dividend yet, but the analysis linked above shows that their first dividend hike is not far away.

However, in the last week(s) the shareprice of WSR has even dropped to sub 14 dollars, making an even higher yield possible.

New position AD

Yesterday I initiated a new postion. I bought 10 shares of Ahold Delhaize (AMS: AD). AD is company that was formed by the merger of Ahold from The Netherlands and Delhaize from Belgium. Ahold constists of their flagship Albert Heijn the market leader in supermarkets in The Neterlands, the largest liquor store chain Gall&Gall and the reason why Amazon doesn't have a big market share in Holland, bol.com . Most of these brands are also known in Belgium, but the main brand for Belgium is Delhaize. Aold Delhaize is also active in the United States with brands like: Foodlion Stop&Shop bfresh and many more.They are also active in Asia. I was eyeing for AD a little while but found them a bit expensive at a share price of €20 but since the announced takeover of Wholefoods by Amazon the share prices has taken a hit and closed at €16.04 yesterday. So it was now well within the price I was willing to pay for it. I bought 10 shares of AD at a share price of €16.30...

Dividend Update

It's been quiet here on the blog for a while now. Nothing's wrong but I was very busy at work and at home and didn't feel the energy to write some blogs. But now that everything is calming down a bit, it is time to pick up where I left off. I've been investing a bit in the last month. I bought 10 extra UNA shares and also 11 shares of OHI. Both when they were dipping after their reported Q3 results. Also I started investing in a new Mutual fund, which invests mainly in bonds. In total I invested just short of 900 Euros for an expected anual dividend increase of €33. I also collected dividends in september and october. In september I received €58.82 an increase of 270% compared to last year. In november I received €15.58, an increase of 80% compared to last year.
