Dividend from Enel: June 2015

The flow of dividends will from now on significantly decrease. My two US companies (Intel & IBM) and my UK one (BP) will keep paying each quarter but those massive once a year payment I only have one left after this one from Enel. I must say that I am pretty content with the overall dividend increase that I have received this year.

Enel increased their dividend slightly and I therefore received 63 € for my 450 shares. There were some taxes taken in the size of 23.02 € (I notice that Italy have increased their taxes from 20 to 26%) which gives me 39.98 € as cash on my account. With Enel I now have a YoC of 5.8% after almost two years of holding which I find to be great.

Summer break 2015 is here

I just now got the final result from my macro economy studies that I have conducted full-time at the University of Lund in Sweden. Full time today means that one have to collect 30 credits during one semester and one applies for the courses semester based. This, on the other hand, means that I have already applied for the new courses for the autumn semester,

When I was a student the last time then there were only three grades. Failed, Passed or you Passed with Extinction. Today they have decided to give more pads on the shoulders so you got F, E, D, C, B and A. F is failed and everything else is different levels of having too many points on the exam which, in the end, means that you studied too much.

Dividend from BP: June 2015

The second quarter of dividend payment from BP arrived on the account. Each quarter they try to push stocks on me as dividend payment, which I would have loved to take, but due to the fees from my broker I simply can not take that offer.

I currently have 354 shares in BP and they paid out in total 23.11 GBP which got converted to 32.31 € and from this was then taken 8.53 € in taxes. So the dividend payment got less but due to a stronger GBP I still got more euro out. Hurrah!
