With the new year barely started I'm on a roll initiating some new positions. After the AbbVie purchase just over a week ago, yesterday I got myself another new position. Yesterday, I bought 4 shares of Texas Instruments (TXN) at a price of $74.80 per share. Including service fees the total costs were €282.38. TXN pays a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share which increases my expected forward 12 month dividend income by eight dollars or €6,42 bringing it to amost €287. TXN is a dividend achiever and placed no. 7 on SureDividend's top 10 dividend achievers list of last December. An analysis of TXN can be found here . If the divididend paying schedule is similar to 2016, TXN will go ex dividend in the last week of January.
