New buy Johnson & Johnson

This stock has been on my watch list for ages. It's also one of the most owned stocks for dividend investors if you look at different blogger's holdings. I'm not sure why I didn't invest in JNJ sooner, their dividend growth is really great. I also like that it's quite a defensive stock, so if there's a downward market next year I think JNJ will not be down as much as the broad index would be.

Not sure if this will be the last buy of the year or if I'll manage to squeeze in one more.

Dividend Income November 2021

Another month another record. November was a really good dividend month for me. However it was boosted by Avanza paying out a big dividend that I don't think they will be doing the next coming years. 

Feels like there's been a lot of action in the markets this month as well. Evolution came down in price enough for me to find it worth buying.

I received a total of SEK 7,340.17 in dividends in November. An increase of 107% compared to last year.

New buy Evolution

I looked at Evolution a couple of years ago, when the price was below SEK 100, and I remember I thought that the dividend yield was too low. Unfortuneatly I didn't invest at the time, if I'd invested it would have been one of the best investments I'd have done by today... Oh well.

What I like about Evolution now is their dividend growth. It's been really great over the last couple of years, and I hope they will continue with it. They have run into a lawsuit in the US, which I don't think will affect them too much, but the stock price has come down quite a bit because of it. So I thought that now would be a good time to invest.

I remember saying that I wanted to invest into companies with higher dividend yields, but the last two I have invested in now are quite the opposite. However I hope that they will be good dividend growers instead. The next buys in line will probably also not be too high yielding, but I do have some stocks on my watch list that are. I guess I will have to buy them next year.

Reinvesting SinterCast dividend (4)

Last reinvestment for this year, there have been quite a lot of them, 54 if I counted correctly. Now I'll have to wait until February next year for the next one. In my dividend income post at the end of the year I will check how much effect on yearly dividends my reinvestments have summed up to.

Reinvesting Avanza dividend (3)

Nice divdend payout from Avanza when the dividend restrictions on banks was lifted. This dividend makes me able to break the 200k lifetime dividends received this year. Hopefully Avanza will keep this dividend payout going forward. Was not sure what dividend I should use for the yearly effect so I went with SEK 2.50

New buy TF Bank

I started looking at TF Bank this spring after I heard about them. The stock price has gone up quite a lot this year, about 200%. From what I can tell their business keeps growing quite nicely so hopefully this will be a good investment in the long run. Their dividend yield is quite low, but I think that is partly due to dividend restrictions put on banks due to covid.

Reinvesting NCC dividend (4)

Another reinvestment into NCC. I'm really thinking about increasing my overall investment in NCC. It's such a small part of the portfolio I'd like to bump some of my smaller allocations a bit to get more in line with a more normal size of investment, normal size for my portfolio at least.

Reinvesting H&M dividend (2)

Last time H&M paid out a dividend was two years ago, so it was a nice surprise that they paid out again this year. Hopefully they have made enough changes and that the company is going strong enough so they can start to pay out their regular bi-annual dividend again. I'm lowballing the effect on yearly dividend to be the same as they paid out this year, can hope it will be twice that amount next year.

Dividend Income October 2021

Feels like these record breaking months keep coming. October was no different and November also looks to be a record. There was a bonus dividend from Electrolux this October which made me break the record so next year will be difficult to match this years numbers. A big positive for November is that Avanza is going to pay out another dividend. Since Finansinspektionen lifted their restrictions on dividends for banks they can now increase their pay out to the regular levels, so that will be a big boost for me. Actually that dividend will make it so that I manage to break the SEK 200,000.00 total life time accumulated dividends received this year.

Some other good news is that McDonald's and Starbucks have increased their dividends by 6.97% resp. 8.8%. 

I received a total of SEK 4,299.60 in dividends in October. An increase of 47.3% compared to last year.

Electrolux - SEK 340.00
Coca-Cola - SEK 192.44
Bonava - SEK 136.00

Reinvesting Handelsbanken dividend (2)

This reinvestment is a bit special. Handelsbanken decided to pay out Industrivärden A shares as dividend. You got 1 share of Industrivärden A for every 65 of Handelsbanken. I have 160 shares of Handelsbanken so I got 2 new shares of Industrivärden A. The fractions that remained where then sold, which in my case totalled SEK 132.00. So I decided to treat the cash from the fractions as a dividend received from Handelsbanken (I guess technically that's what it is). I will probably convert my shares in Industrivärden A to C at a later date since I already own C shares (there's also small increase in yield on the C shares actually since they both pay out the same amount).

New buy Prudential Financial

Prudential Financial recently came to my notice and I thought to myself that they had a really nice dividend yield (more than 4%)  and they also have increased their dividend year to year quite a lot. Since I want to boost my overall yield it seemed like a good buy. The stock is also quite stable, which I also like.

I've become more aware of the impact that dividend growth has and that it might be a lot nicer to own a company that has larger dividend growth than one with a high yield. It feels like with Prudential I get both. However I still want to boost my overall yield by quite a bit so I'm now looking for some companies that have quite high dividend yields.

Reinvesting Electrolux dividend (4)

Dividend Income September 2021

I keep on breaking records, this time for the month of September. Some positive news this month was that H&M is going to pay out a dividend in November, last time they paid anything was in 2019. 15 different dividends were paid out. The dividend increase compared to last year was a lot lower than the previous months, which is more normal. Many companies started to pay out dividends again around this time last year as the first wave of Covid was over. 

Another positive thing is that I might be able to break the 200k received in dividends this year, at least it will be very close.

I received a total of SEK 4,411.93 in dividends in September. An increase of 6.6% compared to last year.

Intel - SEK 228.02

Dividend income August 2021

Another record month, this time for August. Six dividends were paid out this month. AT&T and Kinder Morgan where the big contributors this month, both of which I purchased in the last year. August is still one of my worst months but it's getting better. Hopefully Disney will start to pay out dividends again and I will get a small boost to August, but I'm also looking at some new companies that have payouts in August.

I received a total of SEK 1,431.09 in dividends in August. An increase of 277%!

Dividend income July 2021

Broke a record again this month, best July for me so far. Got some extra help from the dividend of Volkswagen but would've beaten the record even without it. Next month is one of the worst for me but I've managed to increase the payout a bit so it's will be better.

7 dividends were paid out this month.

I received a total of SEK 1,942.94 in dividends in July. An increase of 312% but can't really compare to 2020.

Coca-Cola - SEK 189.81

New buy Chevron

Chevron stock price finally dipped below USD 100 so I thought it was a good time to buy. I do not know how dependent we will be of oil in the future, with all the investments going into green energy. But I believe that there will still be a demand for it and that there will be a peak before there's been a full transition into other energy sources. And I think the big oil companies will work on finding alternatives to oil by investing into green energy, so I don't believe that they will become worthless in the future. Good companies are able to adapt to changes in their industry. Also when it comes to ESG I think it's a bit of trend that will slowly diminish, it was super hot last couple of years but I think it has been crammed now.

They also have a nice dividend yield and have been raising dividends for a long time, and even did so this and last year.

Looking at my dividend distribution across the year I need to boost my dividends for January, February, July and August. I will try too look for companies that have payouts in those months going forward. I know that there are some good ones out there that I have already on my watch list that payout during those months.

Dividend income June 2021

Another record month! I broke the record of dividend amount received for the month of June, a large part of that was thanks to the dividend I received from Angler Gaming and the extra dividend from Epiroc. 

13 different dividends got paid this month.

I received a total of SEK 4,163.28 in dividends in June. An increase of 45.6% compared to last year.

New buy WP Carey

Bought WP Carey last week. A big part of the reason is to help increase my dividends in July and January. I also think that the company looks good where they continually increase their dividends on a quarterly basis. Also they have a really nice dividend yield which I also need to boost for my entire portfolio.

I'm not particularly scared of inflation affecting the real estate sector, higher rates will affect it but I think that the companies can feed those costs through to their clients rents. Time will tell if this inflation is transitory or not.

New buy Angler Gaming

Invested a bit into Angler Gaming which has a nice dividend yield of around 4.5% and has also had a good dividend growth history the last couple of years. I am not sure how big the tax will be on the dividend since the company is based in Malta, we'll see, but I've set it as 25% for now, hopefully I will be positevely suprised that it's lower. 

They payout their dividend in June so this will be a nice addition to my current dividends for that month. I'm trying to boost the dividends I receive for certain months, July is looking especially weak but I might have found some nice companies that payout during that time.

I hope I had some nice timing buying a gaming company now after the report on Draft Kings where it feels like the whole industry got hit.

Dividend income May 2021

I received 21 dividends in May, a new record. The record from March didn't last very long. I was also so very close to breaking the all time record for dividends received in a month but fell short with just a hundred SEK. So the record from 2019 still holds.

I will start to post the accumulated dividends I've received with each monthly post, I think it will be nice to have a snapshot of how it looks every month and will make it easier to track the progress.

Also getting close to having received the same amount of dividends I received in total 2020, so the comeback is real.

I received a total of SEK 11,536.94 in dividends in May. A huge increase of 936% compared to last year, although last year was really bad year and can't really compare them.

Broke a new record with this payout from Novotek, biggest single dividend payout ever of SEK 2,250.00. There was a bonus dividend of SEK 0.75 this year, as they didn't pay anything last year. I don't think that I can expect the same amount next year. It looks like I will not break the record for amount received in a single month, but on the brighter side I just found out Autoliv reinstated their quarterly dividend so I will receive 3 extra dividends this year.

I missed reinvesting AT&T in February so this is the first time. I'm not sure if it's worth reinvesting the foreign dividends due to the high fees, but AT&T will pay off in about 2 quarters so I think it's alright.

Dividend income April 2021

Broke the record for dividends received in the month of April this year. It was also a big increase in dividends received compared to last year, which was when a lot of companies started to cancel their dividends due to covid.

Reinvesting Telia dividend

Not sure if I can tell a difference yet in the number of reinvested stocks I am able to buy due to reinvesting Telia's dividend. But I'm getting to a point soon were each reinvestment makes me able to reinvest into one additional stock. The snowball is in motion.

Reinvesting Avanza dividend

Avanza lowered their dividend quite substantially, claiming harder capital requirements due to covid. The stock has performed great over the last year though and the first quarter results were huge, a lot thanks to GME trading craze. Avanza has actually become my biggest holding due to the great performance. Not able to reinvest that many stocks this year unfortunately, in part due to the price increase.

Dividend income March 2021

Time to sum up March. Danske Bank didn't pay out as much as I was hoping for so that lowered the month a bit compared to 2019. Also Avanza has lowered and moved their payout to April and also Axfood started paying out their dividend twice a year. That's why I'm not able to reach the highs of March 2019 payouts. However it's a small increase compared to last year, but again Avanza moving and lowering their dividend hurt the increase. Again the USD/SEK rate also was a lot higher last year. There was one record for this month broken which is the number of different dividends received, 18 in total.

I received a total of SEK 6,943.32 in dividends in March. An modest increase of 2.3% compared to last year.

Reinvesting Hufvudstaden dividend

Real estate companies have been hit hard during Covid, Hufvudstaden is no exception, and they had to lower their dividend quite a lot. With the vaccination ongoing things might look better by summer. However there is the looming threat of increased rates in the background keeping outlooks on the downside.

Reinvesting Handelsbanken dividend

Sadly Handelsbanken cut their dividend a bit for 2021 from SEK 5.50 in 2019 to SEK 4.10 this year. Once Covid is over I think they will increase it again. Unless something unexpected happens again, like what happened to Credit Suisse with Archegos.

Reinvesting Danske Bank dividend

Danske Bank paid out dividend again this year, but only a small fraction of what they did 2019. I hope they will be paying out full next year again, not sure if that will depend on how it goes with the money laundring accusation. I think another reason they lowered the dividend this year was due to covid so maybe that also speaks for a bigger dividend payout in 2022.

Reinvesting Pfizer dividend

First dividend reinvestment of the year! Was only able to cover roughly one new share with the dividend that I received, but better than nothing at least. Unfortunately I didn't know that Pfizer had dividend withholding tax if you bought the one listed on OMX, so I had to pay 15% tax on it (which I should get back in a couple of years).

New buy Skanska

Bought some shares in Skanska, a Swedish construction company. With all the stimulus money that is being printed there is talk about that this money should be invested in the infrastructure. In the US a lot of the infrastructure is in need of repairs and upgrades so hopefully Skanska can get a share of that construction. The yield of 3.15% is also very nice, although it's a bit doped by an extra dividend payout this year.

Dividend income February 2021

February is one of the lowest paying months for me. It's become a bit better thanks to AT&T's dividend. However Starbucks moved their payout to March and also the USD strength last year makes the difference not be so big compared to last February. However this is the best February I've had so far. But I really need to work on increasing payout in January, February and July. 

I received a total of SEK 705.05 in dividends this February. An increase of 24.7% compared to last year.

Realty Income - SEK 165.51
P&G - SEK 167.42
AT&T - SEK 372.12

New buy Kinder Morgan Inc

Bought 250 shares in Kinder Morgan in February. The price is low and it's a nice dividend yield at the moment if they continue their current dividend distribution. I'm not sure if KMI is somehow positvely affected by the cold weather in Texas and the rest of the US but hopefully. I was looking to buy an oil company but decided to buy KMI instead. I believe both to be good if inflation does pick up, which is what many believe will happen.

Dividend income January 2021

First month of 2021 and not starting good with this months dividends. This is the worst January ever for me and there are two reasons. One is that Disney decided to not pay any dividend and the second reason is that USDSEK is still low, I think last year it was almost 1 SEK higher. Some good news though is that some companies have already had their annual reports and are going to reinstate their dividends and in some cases they will be increased. However there are also some companies that have lowered and also removed their dividends for this year. Avanza lowered their dividend quite substantially, even though it's their best year ever. Hopefully we can climb over SEK 40,000 in dividends this year.

The last week was very volatile with what happened with Gamestop and the whole Wallstreetbets thing. I think a lot of people still think that the hedge funds are still short the stock. I believe they are all out of the stock and now there are just new shorts that came in at a much higher level. At this point I only think there are retail clients in that stock, and it will probably not end well for most of them.

We're at a point in the market were it seems we are very close to the highs or have just passed them. The hype that is now being shown everywhere is a sign of it. So many people are now investing, or rather speculating in the stock market that have never shown any interest in it what so ever before. 

I received a total of SEK 583.65 in dividends in January.

New buy SAP

First purchase of 2021. Bought SAP, which took quite a hit in autumn last year on their outlook. Hopefully this will be a nice turnaround case. Not very high yield but I think SAP can keep growing.

Dividend income December 2020

A very tumultuous year has come to its end. When the market crashed in March I was down somewhere around 25%. Luckily the rest of the year has been really strong for stocks. My full year return was 10.4% which I think is good, specially when compared to OMX 30 which was up around 6% for the year. I know there are a lot of people who started investing in stocks this year after the crash and their returns are a lot better though. Unfortunately for me I was still unemployed during the crash so I did not want to invest my free cash into stocks at the time, something we now know was wrong. I believe next time there's a crash I will try to be a bit more aggressive and invest during the downturn. They don't come very often and can be quite lucrative. My return also took quite a big hit due to the strengthening of the SEK versus the USD. During March a dollar cost over SEK 10.00. Now in December it's gone all the way down to SEK 8.20, which seriously affected my return on US stocks. For my dividends I hope for a weaker SEK in the comming year, we will have to see what the Riksbank will do if they will lower the rate or not. However a strong SEK means I can buy US stocks cheaper.

During the spring a lot of companies also started to cancel their dividends. I was then fearing that I would receive dividends in the low 20k's. However some companies did pay out their dividends at the end of the year so the drop wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. In total I received SEK 30,469.03 in dividends for 2020, a drop of almost 30% compared to 2019 SEK 42,325.08.

Hopefully 2021 will become a more normal year for dividends for me, however I've already noticed that Disney has cancelled their dividend for the first half of the year. If companies start to pay out dividends this year again I believe there could be record amounts being paid as they withheld them last year. Time will tell.

My goal for 2021 would be to reach SEK 50,000.00 in dividend payouts. I believe if this year will be a normal year I can achieve it, especially because of investments into new stocks.

I received twelve dividends in December totalling SEK 2,873.02. An increase of 44% compared to last year.

For the full year I received 97 dividends totalling SEK 30,469.03 a drop of 28% compared to 2019.
