Welcome to the fifty-fifth (#55) dividend income report, covering earnings I've made from dividend-paying stocks in November 2021. Last November, just like the October and September we spent both in Georgia and Latvia, there were some circumstances that required us to travel forth and back a few times. Nevertheless, we still managed to make a few nice road trips, visit some nice restaurants, and so on. We got a nice rental flat in Riga city center and agreed to send our daughter to QSI Tbilisi…

Quite a crazy Black Friday in the market. or Mr. Market almost squeezed me out of my comfort zone. A sharp recovery helped and I went shopping on bargain (hopefully). Worst day since June 2020. Should focus more on covered calls in the future

There are a couple of ways some might get exposed to the oil market, you could go with futures, ETF's or individual stocks.  In this article, I will share an example on how some could sell options on individual stock - a stock I've been selling options with mixed success in the past - RDSA - or Royal Dutch Shell Royal Dutch Shell PLC, commonly known as Shell, is a British-Dutch oil and gas company headquartered in the Netherlands and incorporated in the United Kingdom. It is one of the oil…

Welcome to the fifty-fourth (#54) dividend income report, covering earnings I've made from dividend-paying stocks in October 2021. Last October, just like the September we spent both in Georgia and Latvia, there were some circumstances that required us to return. Nevertheless, we still managed to make a few nice road trips, visited some nice restaurants, and so on. From the perspective of dividend income - Last October was very low, but as I'm rebuilding the portfolio from the scratch - it's…

Yesterday, on October 25, 2021, I sold all of the Bitcoin holdings I had with Coinbase PRO. Additionally, I sold off all my investments with SEB mutual funds and stocks at Nasdaq Baltic: Baltic Horizon, and DelfinGroup. I did this because I have started another interesting 52-week challenge - buying Apple stock for the next 52 weeks and I want to focus on that challenge.  As an options trader, I want to collect at least 100 shares with Apple stock and start selling covered calls on it (…

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…
