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.

  2. Thank you and thank you for your warning. I agree with you about diversifying. My next blogpost will be about diversifying and new companies on my watchlist.

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%.
