New purchases July 2018 II

To celebrate my vaccation I've bought some more stocks. Viva la France! Red wine and cheese. Compared to a normal month it feels like I'm bleeding money.

• 20 T for $ 32.31 for a yield of 6.19 %.
• 5 SO for $ 47.23 for a yield of 5.01 %.
• 5 O for $ 55.26 for a yield of 4.77 %.

I've updated my portfolio and as always it can be found here. It is still broken, but pretty accurate.

My goal of eating less sugar has gone as planned. It might be that I've just substituted it with nice meals and wine, but vaccation is vaccation.

New purchase June 2018 III

I've made some new purchase and I'm a bit ashamed to say that I made a mistake and sold 10 shares of T for $ 31.7. I like that I can purchase stocks on my phone, but it is a bit too easy to make mistakes. Anyhow, one new company Hormel.

• 15 HRL for $ 36.53 for a yield of 2.06 %.
• 10 KO for $ 43.53 for a yield of 3.58 %.
• 4 MO for $ 56.97 for a yield of 4.91 %.
• 15 GE for $ 12.79 for a yield of 3.75 %.

My goal of spending time with friends every day has gone great. I'v met some new friends and also found some colleagues that share a lot of the same interest as me. So we've been on a hike and also practiced some swimming in the ocean.

I actually had a hard time coming up with a goal for this month, so I just took something that I had already done the first days. It hasn't really been a burden for me and it has been nice to have some extra time in the morning before going to work. I've spent the time reading :) and I also entered in to an online course. It is not really related to what I work with but I like learning new things.

So doing yoga has made me realize how bad mobility I have in my legs and lower back. After two weeks doing yoga I don't really notice any improvement in mobility, but I have faith.

New purchases

I've been occupied and have not been able to update the blog with my purchases for some time. Here comes a summary of my latest buys.

New purchases

Initially for May I was planning on investing in Canada, but the recent events concerning Home Capital (TSE:HCG) has made me hesitant. Instead I decided to increase my position in some of the companies I already own.

• 5 T for $ 38.95 per share for a yield of 5.03 %, new average cost $ 40.80
• 3 EMR for $ 56.93 per share for a yield of  3.37 %, new average cost $ 58.37
• 4 PG for € 86.4 per share for a yield of 3,09 %, new average cost $ 87.29
• 3 KMB for € 127.99 per share for a yield of 2.95 %, new average cost $ 131.32

They all pay a quarterly dividend and this will add more dividend for me. For T $ 7.35, EMR $ 4.32, PG $ 5.352 and for KMB $ 5.82. This results in an added $ 22.842 to my expected dividends this year.

I've updated my portfolio and as always it can be found here. I also added a calculation for my total yield of my portfolio. At the moment it is 3.86 %.

New purchases

Today I invested the last part of my salary.

• 10 T for $ 41.72 per share and a yield of 4.65 %.
• 7 EMR for $ 58.99 per share and a yield of 3.25 %.
• 5 ABBV for $ 60.16 per share and a yield of 4.25 %.

They all pay a quarterly dividend and these purchases will give me $ 14.7, $ 13.44  and $ 9.6 for at total amount of $ 37.74. The total amount is quite a bit lower than my earlier purchases, but this is because I will only receive dividend from T and ABBV for three quarters. Next year will be bettter :). I've updated my portfolio and as always it can be found here.

If my calculations are correct this means that the purchase made in January will give me $ 143.16 this year. With the current exchange rate that is 1345 SEK which gives me a yield of 4.48 %. 

Short term watchlist

I still have some money from my salary to invest. This is list is an update of an earlier blog post. My portfolio will be in "diversification mode" for a long time, meaning I will increase the number of companies that I invest in. From March and onward I will broaden my geographical search area to include the Nordic countries as well. I'm thinking that I will invest half in dividend aristocrats and the other half in quality stocks from a certain country, so stay tuned.

This time I will choose from (ticker, yield, eps):

• T, 4.69, 17.79
• EMR, 3.19, 24.43
• MCD, 3.10, 22.67
• PG, 3.08, 24.62
• ABBV, 4.16, 16.5

Do you have any thoughts or comments on my plans?
