Hey, I have decided to launch another interesting challenge - buying Apple stock for the next 52 weeks. My plan is simple, every Monday I will buy at least 2 Apple shares, so I have at least 100 shares with Apple stock by the end of the challenge. I guess there is no need to introduce what company Apple is and why this stock has found its place in many investor portfolios. I love this stock because it is a growth stock, has some dividends, last but not least, we can sell options on it. …

On October 6, 2021, I subscribed to 32 shares of Enefit Green during companies IPO. I got subscribed at EUR 2.90. On the first trading day on the Nasdaq Baltics, I sold all my 32 shares at EUR 3.46 or realized 0.56 cents per share (before taxes). That translates to about 19% gain in just 15 days.  Sadly my investment was just EUR 100, so do the gains were humble if exchanged to EUR value. Well, this was interesting, already the second IPO from the Baltics I took participation (the first one…

One of my preferred investing strategies is investing in stocks from The Dogs of The Dow List.  Currently (2021), these are the Small Dogs of The Dow stocks: DOW, VZ, WBA, CSCO, and KO. In 2021 PFE was replaced by VZ in the Small Dogs list.  In today's article, I will take a quick glimpse at a potential return from investing in these five stocks with options (covered calls) + collecting the dividend during the road. For this example, I'm going to virtually buy 100 shares at each company. All…

Here at ReinisFischer.com I love challenges, whether they are about blogging, learning new skills, or financial oriented. As my blog is turning 8 years old on October 10, 2021, I decided to launch another interesting 365 days challenge - Investing with Covered Calls in Dow Inc. stock for one year. Dow Inc. is an American commodity chemical company. It was spun off DowDuPont on April 1, 2019, at which time it became a public company and was added to the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The…

On October 6, 2021, I subscribed to about 32 shares of Enefit Green.

Trading in Enefit Green’s shares is expected to begin on the Baltic Main List of Nasdaq Tallinn on…

Welcome to the fifty-third (#53) dividend income report, covering earnings I've made from dividend-paying stocks in September 2021. Last September we spent both in Georgia and Latvia, as usual, we did a few nice road trips in both countries.  From the perspective of dividend income - Last September was pretty low, but as I'm rebuilding the portfolio from the scratch - its picking up. Slowly but steady.   In total, I took $15.59  in dividend income last month. Which is quite awesome, for doing…

DelfinGroup is a Latvian fintech company that offers accessible, simple, and consumer-focused finance and pawn services. Starting September 28, 2021, there is an ongoing IPO for DelfinGroup on Nasdaq Baltic stock market. IPO will end on October 11. There is a small hype with this IPO in Latvia and seems after IPO will end, it will attract new first time investors to the Baltic stock exchange (Nasdaq Baltics).  Which is great, and hopefully more people will start to explore and invest in other…

Those of you following my blog for a while, probably have noticed I love writing a lot about stock and options trading. In fact, I'm running a separate fremium newsletter posting most of my options trades online - Covered Calls with Reinis Fischer It took me some time to find the best solution for newsletters, and I'm very happy with the substack platform. With substack I can focus on whats important - content and growing subscriber base. The rest is done by the platform. A few days ago I…

Welcome to the fifty-second (#52) dividend income report, covering earnings I've made from dividend-paying stocks in August 2021. The last August we spent in Georgia and did a few nice road trips across the country. For the first time, we had camping in a tent (just for a few hours) at the Lagodekhi nature reserve. From the perspective of dividend income - Last August was the lowest since we started this dividend journey back in 2017.  In total, I took just shy $1.84  in dividend income last…

In today's article, I'm going to talk about 7 dividend stocks I don't mind having in my portfolio and how I'm generating additional semi-passive income by selling put options (or credit spreads) on them.

Investments in stocks, funds, bonds, or cryptos are risk investments and you could lose some or all of your money. Do your due diligence before investing in any kind of asset. …
