On June 17, 2018, I bought (got assigned) 100 shares of Xinyuan Real Estate (XIN ) at $5.00 per share. With its quarterly dividend payout of 0.1 dollars per share, this latest buy has a dividend yield of 8% and will pay us $10 (before tax) every quarter. Awesome!
Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. is a Chinese real estate company. Xinyuan has traditionally engaged principally in residential real estate development and the provision of property management services, focusing on Tier II cities in China.
XIN has been in our portfolio since October 2018, see: Latest Stock Buy: XIN, since then I have been successfully selling covered calls on it (Call Selling: XIN JUL 19'19 5 Put @0.2), that's how I got assigned it actually it now, I was selling naked put (#12 Put Sell: XIN JUN 21'19 5 Put @0.60) for what I got a nice premium of $60 a month ago. Despite I bought XIN at $5.00 (strike price) per share my actual cost per share were just $4.4.
By now XIN stock takes 9.85% from our US stock portfolio, and also is one of the biggest dividend payers in the portfolio by now.
For the rest of the year, we are looking to take $48.8 (before tax) from this buy, which is about 2.3% from my $2,045 goal for 2019.
2018 in Review and Financial Goals for 2019
In total XIN now contributes about $97.6 yearly to the dividend income portfolio.
From now on I plan to sell more covered calls on XIN and collect hefty dividend every quarter.
