Short term watch list

My next purchases will be one or more of the following (ticker, yield, eps):
  • KMB, 3.15, 22.46
  • MCD, 2.99, 23.42
  • VFC, 3.31, 19.11
For some reason I've had MCD on my all watch lists, but haven't made a purchase. I'm thinking that this is going to be the time I buy it.

I've been a bit busy this last week and next week will probably be even more busy so I don't know if I will be able to make any purchases.

New purchases

Today I initiated two new positions JNJ and PG so now I own 12 different stocks.
  • 5 JNJ for $ 115.99 per share and a yield of 2.76 %.
  • 6 PG for $ 87.89 per share and a yield of 3.05 %
Both pay quarterly dividends and JNJ will pay me $ 16 this year and PG $ 12.042 for a total of $ 28.042. I have a good long term feeling about these companies and that makes me accept a lower yield now. They also pay dividend second and first month of the quarter and as I wrote here I consider that a minor downside. 

I've updated my portfolio and as always it can be found here.

Dividend February 2017

So today I received my first dividends. As of now all the currency has been in USD, but now it's going to be hard to present it in USD. The exchange rate USD/SEK fluctuates and since the start of the year the dollar has decrease in value from 9.10432 to 8.94005. The money paid out to my account is in SEK.

Anyway from SDIV I got 18.23 SEK ($ 2.41) and from SPFF 16.46 SEK ($ 2.175). The SEK is after taxes and an exchange fee. The total amount for February is 34.69 SEK and my goal of  12 000 SEK for 2017 feels a bit high, but time will tell. I guess I might have to revisit them after the end of the quarter and make them more achievable.

Short term watchlist

With my last purchase I now have ten different investments in ten different sectors, with a weight of 10 ± 3 % and that feels good. One downside with my current portfolio is that most of the dividends are payed in the third month of the quarter. However, that is something to think about in the future. I'm still a long way from being able to live off my dividend and as long as I reinvest the dividend it matters less when I receive it.

My next purchases will be one or more of the following (ticker, yield, eps):
  • KMB, 3.2, 20.27
  • MCD, 3.10, 22.67
  • PG, 3.08, 24.62
  • JNJ, 2.84, 19.02
  • VFC, 3.27, 17.04

New purchases

A couple of days ago I made some purchases to celebrate the coming of Spring!

  • 40 SRET for $ 14.70 per share and a yield of 7.63 %.
  • 8 TROW for $ 67.32 per share and a yield of 3.21 %.
SRET pays monthly and will add a total of $ 37.4 for this year. TROW pays a quarterly dividend and will in total pay $ 17.28. In total this amounts to a healthy $ 54.68 for 2017.

I'm a bit ambivalent when it comes to SRET (and also SDIV and SPFF) on the one hand I really like monthly dividend (fast feedback makes me  a happy camper) and the yield is high on the other hand I think that it is and investment with higher risk. I guess time will tell, but in the meantime I will enjoy my regular payments :). 

I've updated my portfolio and as always it can be found here.
