New purchase

The new year calls for a new country to invest.

With the new year I've decided to spread my investments over more countries. First up is Norway. The Norwegian economy is dominated by oil and gas which makes up 50 % of their exports.

ATEA sells and supports IT infrastructue. In my job I've come in contact with them and feel confident that they will be successful. Telenor is a telecommunicstions company that operate in a lot of different countries.

• 20 OSE:ATEA for 119 NOK for a yield of 5.46 %.
• 13 OSE:TEL for 187.65 NOK for a yield of 4.36 %.

I'm having trouble updating my portfolio since google does not support getting stock quotes from the Oslo stock exchange. 

New purchase

I've started the year by investing in another company Kraft Heinz which is a food company with many famous products. The company was created after a merger of Kraft and Heinz in 2015. 

• 5 O for $ 54.82 for a yield of 4.66 %.
• 3 PM for $ 104.97 for a yield of 4.07 %.
• 8 KHC for $ 78.49 for a yield of 3.18 %.

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

Income/expense December 2017

So I spent a lot of money in December, but also got a bit of a bonus.

Expenses: 21 000 SEK
Income:  40 900 SEK
Savings rate: 48.66 %
Dividend/Expense rate: 2.62 %

A summary of my savings rate can be found via this page where you can see that my total savings rate was about 50 %. My goal was 70 % so I missed by quite a lot. I guess I might have been doing a bit too much traveling (if there is such a thing). Something I've learned from missing my goals is that should set the bar a bit lower.

Dividend December 2017

Here is the summary of the dividends that I received for December, the last month of the year. 

• SDIV 31.07 SEK
• SRET 30.89 SEK
• SPFF 62.04 SEK 
• SDEM 17.07 SEK
• KO 31.36 SEK
• ED 35.09 SEK
• EMR 40.99 SEK
• TROW 37.54 SEK
• JNJ 35.45 SEK
• MCD 42.8 SEK
• O 14.37 SEK 
• AFL 15.09 SEK
• VFC 34.84 SEK
• ALIV-SDB 25.17 SEK
• ALA 36.08 SEK
• EIF 28.83 SEK
• AD 31.14 SEK

For a total of 549.82 SEK. An decline of 10 % since the previous quarter. The total dividend for 2017 ended up in being 5439.24 SEK. I've published the distribution for 2017 below. It is far from the 12 000 SEK that was my goal, but I'm still happy :).

New purchases

Another purchase right before Christmas.
