Recent buy: Unilever

After Donald Trump was voted the next president of the USA, the general idea was that stock markets would take a dive.
It looked like that was going to happen at the opening of the Amsterdam stock market, but with predictions of a 20 point drop (5%) the AEX is now only 1% negative.

However one of my favourite Dutch dividend stocks, Unilever (AEX: UNA) has dropped within 1 euro of its 52 week low.

So I bought another 8 shares of UNA at €37,25. Including transaction fees I paid €300,05 in total, making it €37,51 per share.

I no own 23 shares of UNA which I bought at average costs of €39,21.

This purchase will increase my annual dividend by €10,24 before taxes bringing it to €260 per year before taxes.

I hope there will be a dip at the start of the markets in the USA as well. Than I will try to make another purchase on a new position.

  1. I like the UL buy as I have made the same purchase myself last week. I think it's going to stay popular for a while if it stays around $40 or below. 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...

New position:Target Corporation

In the aftermath of the Trump election for president I already bought some shares of Unilever (AEX: UNA). At the opening of the New York Stock Exchange I also made a purchase of shares of a company I already owned"Target Corporation. Stock prices were going up and down at the beginning of the market and I bought 4 shares at $66.80 per share. Including transaction fees the total costs ware €61.12 per share. Target Corporation is a Dividend Aristocrat and has a record of 45 years of consecutive dividend growth. Target pays $2.40 per share per year, which gives me a yield on cost of 3.57% and will increase my 12 month forward pretax dividend income with €8.73 to €270.06. My net annual dividend income is now €229.55. Target will go ex dividend on November 14 th, so in 5 days I will earn the first dividends for this company This purchase will probably be the last one of the year because of expenses we are expecting in December.
