On April 8th, 2019, I sold all 61 shares of Tallinna Kaubamaja Grupp (TKM1T) I had, getting EUR 8.68 per share, that's slightly less I paid for this share just a month ago (EUR 9.28).
Despite this was one of the best stocks I've owned from the Baltic's I decided to sell off my Baltic holdings and to reinvest in US dividend-paying stocks. The main reason -…
On February 26th, 2019, I bought an additional 26 shares of Tallinna Kaubamaja Grupp (TKM1T) paying EUR 9.28 per share.
It was announced that Tallinna Kaubamaja Grupp is looking to pay out a dividend of EUR 0.71 this April.
I've been long with this stock since 2017, and actually, this is one of the rare stocks I own from the Baltics which wasn't much affected during 2018.

On the other hand, I didn't plan to buy more shares of this stock this year, but on the late evening night of February 25th, I noticed a post from Baltic Investor informing about the upcoming dividend. As the dividend announcement was made just shortly after the stock market closure I thought that I could try and catch this stock while it was traded still at EUR 9.02:
hmm, it was announced at 16:30, let's see, can we still catch dividend for this year, my inner feeling says the price won't be EUR 9.73 per share tomorrow morning.
I made an auto order with the limit price at EUR 9.22 and decided to pay almost 3% premium. In the next morning when the market opened it started trading at EUR 9.24, at one time the price reached EUR 9.34.
Damn, I thought and canceled my auto order for EUR 9.22 and made another one at EUR 9.30. I finally got the stock at EUR 9.28
