New purchase May 2018 II

I've reinvested in some Swedish companies.

• 15 HB-B for 145.24 SEK for a yield of 6.71 %.
• 5 INVE-B for 382.6 SEK for a yield of 3.14 %. 

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

Apart from that life is pretty sweet right now. The weather is nice, I have a good work-life balance and is learning new things. A lot better than about a year ago when I got my heart broken. I guess I haven't fully recovered from that yet, but it is getting better and better. 

Watchlist Sweden

I've been busy the last few weeks and have not been able to look into the stock market, but now I'm back. I'm looking in to these companies (name, ticker, yield, eps):

• Hennes & Mauritz, STO:HM-B, 4.37, 19.37
• Castellum, STO:CAST, 4.28, 6.24
• Industrivärden, STO:INDU-C, 2.67, 3.77

Industrivärden is similar to Investor in that they own a couple of large Swedish companies. Both companies were created due to regulations in the 1940's which restricted the possibilities for banks to own stock.

New purchases

I've bought some more stocks.

• 10 STO:INVE-A for 372.70 SEK per share for a yield of 2.95 %.
• 12 STO:SWMA for 289.6 SEK per share for a yield of  2.59 %.
• 25 SPFF for $ 13.04 per share for a yield of 6.67 %.

Investor and Swedish match both pay a yearly dividend and this year I will get a total of $ 12.12 and $ 9.92. My newly bought SPFF will give me a total of $ 14.15 for a total of $ 36.58.

This weekend has been really crappy due to some madman that stole a truck and injured and murdered a lot of innocent people. My thoughts and tears go out to the people of Stockholm. 

Watchlist Sweden

In order to continue my focus on Nordic companies I'm going to be watching some Swedish ones (name, ticker, yield, eps):

• Hennes & Mauritz, STO:HM-B, 4.37, 11.21
• Investor, STO:INVE-A, 2.94, 8.47
• Castellum, STO:CAST, 4.28, 6
• Swedish Match, STO:SWMA, 5.5, 10.66

Hennes & Mauritz is a clothing company that as stores in more than 60 countries with an online presence in about half of those. Investor is a holding company controlled by the founding Wallenberg family. It owns shares in a lot of large Swedish companies. Castellum is a real estate company that was created in the aftermath of the Swedish real estate crisis of the 1990's. Swedish Match produces a variety of different tobacco products.

Apart from the companies listed above I also plan to buy some SPFF. I want to increase my monthly distributions. At the moment I own three funds that pay a monthly dividend and I want the get roughly the same amount from each fund. This means I need to increase my stake in SPFF with about 20 shares.
