Recent buy: RDSA

With the closing of October within reach I made another purchase this month. This week RDSA was pretty volatile and was dropping under €23 again. I wasn't really aiming to make another buy this month but with the current yield, and expected better Q3 report by Shell, I decided to expend my position a little bit more.

So last friday I bought another 10 shares RDS for €22,90. Including transaction fees the total costs wee €231,05 or €23,105 per share. This was just below the average costs of the previous 50 shares we already owned, which was €23,21 per share.

The new average cost per share are now €23,19. Shell annual dividends are $1,88 per share or €1,72 at the current euro/dollar rate. That brings the YOC for my RDSA shares to 7,4% and there by one of my highest yielding companies.

This buy increases my 12 month forward dividend with €17,20 to over €250 in total and just over €100 or RDSA alone.

As you can see RDS is taking up quite a big position in my portfolio. It now is time to increase other existing positions and invest in a couple of new companies.

  1. Congrats on still making those buys. As you know many of our fellow dividend peers are selling some or all of their positions feeling the market is already at lofty levels. Don't forget to diversify your portfolio. You don't want any one position to get too large and be a major source of your passive income stream. While I don't have any energy stocks in my portfolio I know RDS is a popular name in the space.

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.
