New purchases

I've increase my position in PG and SPFF and now both each carry a weight of almost 5 % in my portfolio so I will probably not buy any more in the near future.

• 5 PG for $ 88.33 per share for a yield of 3.02 %.
• 20 SPFF for $ 12.27 per share for a yield of 7.19 %.
• 13 ALA for 29.18 CAD per share for a yield of 7.4 %.
• 15 AD for 18.43 CAD per share for a yield of 8.79 %.

As always you find my updated portfolio here.

New purchases

Nothing much as of yet but I've made two small purchases:

• 20 SDEM for $ 15.85 per share for a yield of 4.16 %.
• 10 SPFF for $ 12.78 per share for a yield of 6.9 %.

The both pay a monthly dividend and will add $ 5.5 and $ 3.675 for a total of $ 9.175 for this year.

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

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. 

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.

First purchases

Now I've made my first purchases.

• 20 SDIV for $ 21.22 per share and a dividend yield of 6.84 %
• 30 SPFF for $ 13.01 per share and a dividend yield of  8.12 %

SDIV has a global exposure towards high yielding equities which feels as a good start in a diversified portfolio.

SPFF invests in the fifty highest yielding preferred stocks in North America.

Both SDIV and SPFF pay monthly dividend and will yield an estimate of $ 26.51 and $ 29.15 for a total of $ 55.66.
