Dividend from TJX: March 2016

I have plenty to do at the moment which is why the publishing of articles have to fall back a couple of steps. In the company we managed to move forward with a large EU project which will now require additional work to pass the final hurdle and I privately have to prepare myself for a job interview in an insane fast growing company. The job and company are highly interesting and I know that I could do a good job with them which is why I must be über prepared!

Anyway... my American off-price retail chain TJX arrived with their tiny dividend that was in the size of 6.16 € for my 32 shares. From this I was forced to pay 0.93 € in taxes and on my broker account I ended up with 5.23 € in cash. This correspond to a YoC of 1.2% (considering dividend + currency difference intact) which is bad but then again I did not buy them for the dividend payments.

BASF annual report 2015

My German chemical company BASF arrived with their sad annual report for 2015. If I remember correctly the market accepted it pretty ok. From my point of view this year will not go down in the history as being one of those years that I was happy with my BASF investment but given time also this will fade away.

TJX annual report 2015

TJX arrived with their annual report a couple of days ago. The market found it to be good and it is ok. More important to me though is that my wife love the products that are being sold in the store and are even distributing them to friends and family that hopefully will also start running to the TJX stores to do their shopping. My bet is on that they will do just that!

Dividend from Intel: March 2016

Intel arrived with their first quarter dividend payment. Since I last month managed to increase my holding in Intel before the x-day I also received dividend for my 35 new shares.

For my total 135 shares in Intel I received 35.10 USD that got converted to 32.18 €. From this I ended up paying taxes in the size of 4.83 € which means that I got 27.35 € as cash on my broker account. This corresponds to a YoC of 4.9% which I find very impressive considering that I bought new shares last month at a much higher price AND this is a technology company that spend insane amount of money on R&D to stay ahead and yet they can pay out these nice dividends. Wonderful!
