Extra stock bought October 2015: Coba


Coba, a German bank

My hate affair with the German banks once again increased. I simply find that both DB and Coba have been beaten down too much to be reasonable and well... even though I wrote in the Coba report Q2 2015 that I would not buy more... I did not manage to stick to that. This investment was made due to my sale of MüRe as it were reported in stock sold September 2015: MüRe.

So I increased my holding with an additional 110 shares at a total cost of 1,028.7 € including fees or 9.35 € per share. Since I give these shares away to my nephews on their birthday my holding keeps decreasing but right now I still have around 420 shares and I have paid a total of 5,327 € or 12.68 € per share.

To find out more regarding Coba please visit analysis of Coba 2015.

With the next update of the monthly report the new change will be brought in to the Stock Portfolio.

Stock bought October 2015: RWE


RWE, a German energy company

Since the share price of RWE have continued to drop like a stone I found it to be irresistible not to buy more. First it dropped around -30% due to nuclear and coal which then was the moment I decided to step in with a first investment and since then it has dropped an additional -50%! Due to general insecurity and at least I would say... due to the fear of a potential decrease in dividend payment. Personally I do not care what kind of dividend I receive one year as long as I believe that the company will recover and that they will once again start to pay out acceptable dividends.

This time I decided to step in by buying 150 shares at a total cost (including fees) of 1499.95 € or 10.00 € per share. This means that I am now the happy owner of 235 shares in RWE at a total cost of 3545 € including fees or 15.09 € per share.

To find out more about RWE please take a look at analysis of RWE 2015.

Stocks of Interest: October 2015


Stocks, interesting, October, 2015

Well, well, as you all know my latest investment, Volkswagen, became a seriously failed investment. Shareholder in Germany have started to hand in claims due to that the Volkswagen decided not directly to come out with the information. A problem with Germany is that it is impossible to make a class action lawsuit so each investor must file their own lawsuit. I bought my shares within this time window so I legally have the right to file a lawsuit. Should one do so?

Summary of September 2015


Summary, August, 2015

It feels as if we have had an Indian summer this September. The sun is shining almost every day but at the same time it start to be cold and very soon I need to dig out my gloves and start using them as well as my longjohns.

The studies are progressing and I even think that I have managed to collect some credits due to finishing different parts of the courses. My two group members are good and we manage to get even everything done on time so that definitely helps.

In the US they are down by -10% for the year. The more the share price decreases the more interesting it is to observe what the managers are doing.
