November/December watchlist

On the last day of October it is a good time to think about the coming months. What will my investing goals be up to the end of 2016?

I expect not to be able to invest as much as in October, with 3 buy totaling almost €800 becaus of a loan for our home we will be paying back in December. But a few 100 euros a months should be possible.

I think it is time to add at least one position to my portfolio. And I have a few companies on my watchlist.

My main focus will be on ABBVIE (ABBV) and Target(TGT). TGT is well priced at the moment with a P/E ratio of under 13 and a dividend yield of 3.3%. Also the payout ratio is around 42%, So the company has much room to keep their dividend raise streak going for a while. Theri latest dividend hike was a very nice 7%.

ABBVIE just announced another divididend raise of over 12%. However, their share price collapsed with 6% after they published their lasted figures. Their P/E ratio is just over 10 and dividend yield is now close to 4%. Before investing I should however look at their payout ratio. Comparing 2015 earnings per share with the announced annual dividend for 2017, the payout ratio is very high with 81%. 
So before investing in ABBV I shoud do some extra research. 

Looking at the dividend payout dates ABBV would be more interesting than TGT because ABBV is paying in my "off months". So an investment in ABBV will spread my dividend income better.

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.

May 17: Dividend income

June has already started so it is time to report my dividend income in May. May was a better month than February, but it could have been even better. Because the dollar took a hit compared to the Euro, my income in Euro's suffered a bit. I received dividend from the follwing companies: Whitestone REIT (WSR): €5.39 Omega Healthcare Investors (OHI): €19,31 Texas Instruments (TXN): €1,53 Abbvie (ABBV): €1,47 Kempen Global High Dividend Mutual Fund: €4,86 (DRIP) Total net dividend income was €32,56, breaking the €100 YTD and almost equalling the total dividend income of 2016. I cannot compare this month's income with last year, because last year I didn't receive any dividends. How was your May dividend income? I will updat my dividend income page soon..

Recent purchase: BNS

With the money I had from the sell of ABBV I expanded on my BNS position. I bought another 4 shares. For my net dividend income the sell and buy have a small impact. I lost €8 by selling ABBV and I gained €10.60 by buying BNS. I bought BNS at $62.55 a share. With a quarterly dividend of $0.63, BNS yields 4%.
