Stocks bought/sold November/December
Several stocks were bought and sold during this period. The trigger was that I considered the value of Netflix to be excessive and due to that I must now pay taxes in Sweden I decided to balance the gain by getting rid of some loss shares. I keep investing in my UK stock portfolio and any money in my German stock portfolio I directly take out in this case I took out >10k € from my German stock portfolio.
Sold shares
Netflix, 30 shares sold for 12,833.26 € with a gain of 6,938.77 € or 109%.
EasyJet, 947 shares sold for 4,560.53 € with a loss of -2,670.51 € or -38%.
Skanska, 250 shares sold for 3,743.12 € with a loss of -628.86 € or -14%. During the holding period an additional 717 € was paid out in dividends.

H&M, 250 shares sold for 3,856.83 € with a loss of -1,092.01 € or -22%. During the holding period an additional 1,605 € was paid out in dividends.
My current holding period of stocks is 45 months.
Bought shares
McDonalds, 20 shares bought for 5,082.50 €. I should never have sold them when I previously did. I bought them as a realty company and then in the pandemic I sold them as a fast food company. Stupid!
Berkshire, 20 more shares bought for 6,647.54 €. This means that I currently hold 45 shares for 11,399 €.
Burberry, 170 shares bought for 3,246.04 €.
ETF-All World, 35 shares bought for 3,653.23 €. This means that I currently hold 93 shares for 9,223 €.

Dividends in May/June 2023
It's been a period with plenty of dividend payments which is always enjoyable especially now when I need to take out money instead of adding.
E.On paid out 204.00 € of which the German taxman kept 53.80 € and I was left with 150.20 € as cash on my broker account.
Intel paid out 44.75 €, USA tax office withheld 6.71 € and I was left with 38.04 € in cash.
TJX paid me 19.78 €, US withheld 2.96 € and I got 16.82 € on my broker account.
The next dividend payment I'm not really happy about. I wanted Luc to keep re-investing the earnings into the business or other endeavours for that matter!
Tessenderlo paid out 127.50 €, the taxman in Belgium kept 38.25 € and I got 89.25 € on my broker account.
IBM provided me with 38.34 €, tax withheld was 5.76 € and I got 32.58 € in cash.

Bought stocks during April 2023
Due to the start of the new tax year in the UK on the 6th April it was possible to bring in £20k to the stock ISA again. Happily, since it was my last opportunity of doing so, I had the money available to directly make the transfer and to buy ETFs for. The Blackrock logo is here just a representation for a company with great cost effective ETF offerings, the two ETFs that I bought was from Vanguard, but their logo was not as an image so I couldn't use it. Both of them have a fee below the required 0.5% as it should be with an ETF.
ETF S&P500 - bought 58 parts at a total cost of 5,570.24 €.
ETF All-World - bought 250 parts at a total cost of 17,571.66 €.
My ETF portion of the portfolio increased a little bit more. They will be included in the upcoming monthly summary.
