I've been investing in the Baltic equity market since April 2017, currently (2018) my capital has been exposed to 16 companies listed on the Nasdaq Baltic stock exchange giving a combined dividend yield (after two years) on cost 7.99%. On the other hand, the total value for my Baltic holdings has been down -21.56% (without dividends) and -9.76% (with dividends). The drop has happened in 2018. As there have been drops anywhere else this year, I'm not too concerned regarding this.  In fact, it…

Welcome to the eighteenth (#18) dividend income report, covering earnings I've made from dividend-paying stocks, peer to peer lending (both fiat and cryptocurrencies) in October 2018.  In case you are wondering why I'm sharing online my earnings - the answer is pretty simple - I like transparency and these reports help me to observe my progress or bounces. Hopefully, my reports can give some inspiration to you as well.

Botswana is a landlocked country located in Southern Africa. Formerly the British protectorate of Bechuanaland, Botswana adopted its new name after becoming independent within the Commonwealth on 30 September 1966. Since then, it has maintained a strong tradition of stable representative democracy, with a consistent record of uninterrupted democratic elections and the best-perceived corruption ranking in Africa since at least 1998. Since gaining independence, Botswana has been one of the world…

Yesterday I was looking at the London Stock exchange for two Georgian companies I know for sure are listed there - Bank of Georgia and TBC bank.

The five year loan…

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), or simply the Dow, is a stock market index that shows how 30 large, publicly owned companies based in the United States have traded during a standard trading session in the stock market. The value of the Dow is not a weighted arithmetic mean and does not represent its component companies' market capitalization, but rather the sum of the price of one share of stock for each component company. The sum is corrected by a factor which changes whenever one of…

Yesterday I got an email from Poloniex.com informing that they are delisting following coins: AMP, EXP, and GNO AMP was among one of the first coins I kept for the long term. EXP was a coin I mined together with ETH and ETC.  In fact, I was really hoping EXP could turn into something huge. Anyway as I was holding a couple of AMP's and EXPs I decided to log in to Poloniex.com and dump these coins immediately.  Unfortunately, the damage was already done and EXP/BTC pair had lost already -20%,…
