German inside trading: February 2015


Inside trading, Germany, February, 2015


The bull run continued during February to the great joy of everyone that decided to keep their stocks (around +5%). According to statistics I read many German small investors had already 2014 moved their money out of the stock market. I wonder when they will panic and jump back in again. Most likely at the wrong moment with losses to follow. Never jump in out of panic, jump in when others panic.

Dividend From ETF Russia: February 2015

HSBC, the provider of my Russian ETF

To be honest with you this dividend was not at all on my radar neither in terms of when as well as the size of it. I did on purpose buy the dividend paying ETF so I did expect to get something but nothing close to the amount that was paid out.

For my 135 parts I received a total of 48.98 USD which got converted to 43.12 € and since my investment was 1,014 € I got a 4.25% dividend which is not bad at all. Oh, and I paid no taxes since it is running on the 801 € that are tax free on capital gains here in Germany.

The Stock Dividends page has now been updated if you want to follow my dividend progress.
