Recent buy: Unilever

Today I made another purchase on the Amsterdam stock market. After the presentations of their quarterly figures the Unilever stock took quite a hit yesterday. This morning it even dropped a little further, going below the price I set for myself to buy some more of their stock.

So today I tripled my number of UNA stocks. I bought 10 shares at a price of €39,15 per share. Including transaction fees I payed €393,58. The costs per shares were €39,36. At this price the forward P/E is 19,2.

Unilever pays a quarterly dividend of 0,3201 per share, adding another €12,80 to my 12 month forward dividend, giving it a 3,25% YOC.

I already owned 5 UNA shares, which I bought much more expensive. Due to this purchase the average share cost is €40,12 bringing the YOC to 3.19%.

With this buy the total amount of money invested in Unilever is just over €600 bringing it more in balance with most of the other investments I made so far. I am still a bit overweight in RDSA though.

Bringing the invested money over €600 and my total investments over €4.000 this also the time to start buying other companies.

  1. Great pick up with UL. I love that stock a lot. I have owned it for a few years and plan to make it a long time core position in my own portfolio too. Thanks for sharing.

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 income april 2017

May is already a few days old and in The Netherlands we will tonight remember our fallen compatriots from World War II and later, and tomorrow we will celebrate our liberation from the Nazis. An update for my April dividend income is almost overdue. In april we received dividend from 3 companies: Coca-Cola (KO) paid us €8.49 Wal-Mart (WMT) paid us €2.03 Whitestone REIT (WSR) paid us €4.19 In total we received €14.71 after taxes, bringing our YTD Dividend to €89.20. We will breach the €100 mark in May.

New position: WMT

Today I initiated a new position. I bought 5 shares of Walmart (WMT) at $67.85 per share. Including transaction fees the cost basis is $67.95. Dividend yield is 2.9%. With this purchase my expected annual dividend income is increased with €8 to approximately €325. WMT has come down the last month. It is already climbing back up a little bit earlier this week. In the DGI community I don't see many purchases of WMT, but it is a strong company with a great divididend history. Also WMT pays dividend in the first month of every quarter, which are the off months for my portfolio at the moment. I now have initiated four new positions this year. That was one of the goals I set for 2017. The next months I won't be buying as much as the first 5 weeks of the year as we'll be paying off our mortgage more aggressively in the coming months.
