Monthly goal March 2018

My goal for February was to practice at least ten minutes of yoga. I've reached this goal. It has been quite a challange to be able to find time for it every day. The biggest improvement has been that my sleep has improved after doing yoga before going to bed. Regardig my previous goal of eating vegetarian I realized that I have not bought any meat in a store this year. I've been to some restaurants and eaten some fish and meat. So I've made some changes to my life.

For March I'm going to try to take 10 000 steps each day. At an earlier job we had a contest with the goal of walking 10 000 steps and it was doable on average, but hard to do every day.

Goal March: Walk at least 10 000 steps each day.
Goal February: Practice at least ten minutes of yoga each day. Done!
Goal January: Only eat vegetarian food. Done!

Dividend February 2018

I know that the month is not over but I will not receive any more dividends. Here a list of the dividends that I've received in February.

• SDIV 29.45 SEK
• SRET 29.83 SEK
• SPFF 58.81 SEK 
• SDEM 16.18 SEK
• T 98.19 SEK
• ABBV 28.08 SEK
• PG 81.82 SEK
• O 34.64 SEK
• GIS 19.24 SEK
• ALA 46.34 SEK
• TD 49.43 SEK
• EIF 27.77 SEK
• AD 30 SEK

For a total of 549.78 SEK. The increase compared to last year was really big, but not really comparable since just started investing. Looking forward at my projected dividends this will be the worst month (given that no dividends will be cut and that the currencies are somewhat stable) along with August for 2018.

I've joined twitter

So I've given my self a free birthday gift: I've joined twitter. I have not really used it before so we'll see how this will pan out. As a start I'm trying to automate a tweet whenever I post a blog post so if I've done it correctly my first tweet will be a link to this post.

If I manage to automate it I will update this post with instruction on how I did it :).

Update: So it was easier than I've thought to automate this. I just created an account on https://ifttt.com and added this applet. That was it. So if this is something you want to do it  is really easy.

New purchases

I've bought some Canadian stocks.

• 15 GEI for 16.86 CAD for a yield of 7.83 %.
• 6 BCE for 55.89 CAD for a yield of 5.15 %.
• 10 ALA for 26.5 CAD for a yield of 8.15 %. 

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

I've lost a bit of energy concerning my yoga. I should probably try to be a bit more structured. The way I do it now is that I search for something like 10 minutes lower back yoga and then just do it. So for the last days of February I will try to find one video and follow that routine.  

New purchases

I've bought some German stocks since the valuation has decreased a lot since the middle of January.

• 3 BAYN for 98.15 €  for a yield of 2.75 %.
• 8  UN01 for 24.17 € for a yield of 2.23 %.
• 12 DBK for $ 13.233 for a yield of 1.43 %. 

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

New purchases

I've made some new purchases. No new companies just increasing some.

• 4 KHC for $ 71.46  for a yield of 3.5 %.
• 2  KMB for $ 115.21 for a yield of 3.47 %.
• 10 T for $ 36.54 for a yield of  5.47 %. 

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

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 made some new purchases even though I'm a bit hesitant due to the recent downturn in stock prices.

• 15 GE for $ 14.77  for a yield of 2.44 %.
• 5  PG for $ 81.11 for a yield of 3.4 %.
• 10 O for $ 48.96 for a yield of  4.79 %. 

I'm thinking about holding some more cash this month, hoping that the prices will drop even more. I've updated my portfolio and as always it can be found here.

Anyway my yoga February is coming along nicely. Ten minutes yoga is a great way to start the day and it's an even better way to end the day. My sleep quality has increase which is great for me. I recommend everyone to try it. Ten minutes a day should be easy for everyone.
