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..

  1. Keep swimming along dolphin. Those dividends continue to roll in and next year you'll be able to compare your May year over year growth. Happy to be a fellow ABBV shareholder. It's one of my larger positions in my portfolio. Thanks for sharing.

  5. How do you cope with the growing Eur/usd? Just sit still? It is slowly eating from my portfolio... (also in Holland)

  7. Good report dolphin. In May, I received a total of $2.85 in dividends. As of today, my projected yearly dividends will be $187.27. I'm right there with you starting small, but we both have no where to go but up.

    Looking forward to more awesome reports.

  8. I have been thinking of buying shares too. In a good company, not particularly a bank. Though I am quite young but I think it’s good to invest here and there for future income.

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.
