Recent buy: Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS)


Yesterday I made a first purchase of this month, buying a couple of shares of Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS).
As we've been having some extra unexpected expenses the amount of pocket money we have has shrunk a bit. So our first priority, as well as making extra mortgage payments, is filling our coffers again.
Having said that, we were able to make this small purchase, partly from our received dividends ans a little bit of new cash.

We bought 4 shares of BNS at a price of $55.30 a piece. With transaction fees the cost basis of this purchase was €201.67. As BNS pays about $2.28 a year in dividend it yields 4%.

My expected dividend after taxes is raised a bit to about €402 a year. This is lower than I reported in earlier posts. Because the dollar is taking a hit compared to the Euro, my expected dividend income has dropped a couple of percents recently.

BNS is a new position for me. You can see a dividend stock analysis of this company by roadmap2retire here.

  1. I hope that the position of the dividend stocks would improve in near future but chances are scarce since the appointment of Donald Trump as president.

Dividend Update

It's been quiet here on the blog for a while now. Nothing's wrong but I was very busy at work and at home and didn't feel the energy to write some blogs. But now that everything is calming down a bit, it is time to pick up where I left off. I've been investing a bit in the last month. I bought 10 extra UNA shares and also 11 shares of OHI. Both when they were dipping after their reported Q3 results. Also I started investing in a new Mutual fund, which invests mainly in bonds. In total I invested just short of 900 Euros for an expected anual dividend increase of €33. I also collected dividends in september and october. In september I received €58.82 an increase of 270% compared to last year. In november I received €15.58, an increase of 80% compared to last year.

May 17: Dividend income

June has already started so it is time to report my dividend income in May. May was a better month than February, but it could have been even better. Because the dollar took a hit compared to the Euro, my income in Euro's suffered a bit. I received dividend from the follwing companies: Whitestone REIT (WSR): €5.39 Omega Healthcare Investors (OHI): €19,31 Texas Instruments (TXN): €1,53 Abbvie (ABBV): €1,47 Kempen Global High Dividend Mutual Fund: €4,86 (DRIP) Total net dividend income was €32,56, breaking the €100 YTD and almost equalling the total dividend income of 2016. I cannot compare this month's income with last year, because last year I didn't receive any dividends. How was your May dividend income? I will updat my dividend income page soon..

Recent purchase: BNS

With the money I had from the sell of ABBV I expanded on my BNS position. I bought another 4 shares. For my net dividend income the sell and buy have a small impact. I lost €8 by selling ABBV and I gained €10.60 by buying BNS. I bought BNS at $62.55 a share. With a quarterly dividend of $0.63, BNS yields 4%.
