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.

Dividends from January to April 2020
With this publication I am now finally on top of things again! All the dividends from the past has been sorted out (2018 and 2019) and now I have caught up with the dividends payments during 2020. I have also managed to make my simplistic analysis of all my current holdings and unfortunately all of them are not in the state that one would have liked to see. The three big ones there are my two German banks DB and Coba but also K+S has now joined the children choir of sorrow.
During these four months I have received:
Two dividend payments from Nike in total 17.63 €
Associated British Foods paid out 40.23 €
DBAG gave a nice payment of 232.50 €
Intel arrived with 39.88 €
TJX with measly 13.10 €
IBM with 35.48 €
and finally BP with 72.06 €
As tradition holds all dividends are re-invested with my monthly purchase.
This year will most likely not be very fruitful in terms of dividends due to two reasons:
1. Over 50% of my holdings are in non dividend paying ETFs
2. Many companies have decided to hold on to the cash from 2019.
I've also started to read other finance blogs and it is interesting to see how many of them have handed in the towel. I hope this is because they got tired of writing articles and that they privately are still enjoying the great fun of investing!
I hope all of you are busy reading up on companies and catching some good ones that are now more reasonably priced and you can be sure that I will, in the end of each month!

Analysis of TJX 2020
Future: Will people continue to want to buy fashion brands cheap even if it is a season later? I tend to think so. What did they fashion brands previously do with their out of season garments? Bin them? Now TJX is happy to take it and sell it cheap so sustainability is also good in my opinion.
Conclusion: Graham says no and I say yes. I like TJX. My latest garment shopping rounds have been to TK Maxx stores. I consider this to be a good moment to buy them at a fair price based on my overweight in retail if I would have had any money to invest with today then I would have bought Tessenderlo instead just to put it into perspective.
