Dividend Update: October 2022

General Overview

After the crash of last month, the market rallied this month as all mayor institutes (the Fed, the British Bank & the ECB) keep on raising the interest rates to keep inflation - which is some European states is north of 10% - in check. So far it has yielded rather limited success. At the same time, earnings are upon us and we got the usual mixed bag, but even mega caps like Google, Meta and Amazon dropped significantly as their growth slowed down. Still, on the whole my portfolio grew by 6,58%. I, however, don't really trust any of this and remain wary of what is still ahead of us. In the meantime I collected 237,18€ in dividends. QoQ this is little lower as I lost / had to sell STORE and relocated the gains there evenly among different stocks.

Winners & Losers

Top climbers of the month were Hercules Capital (28.4%) and Simon Property (26.1%), the biggest losers were Alphabet (after disappointing earnings -6.8%) and Southern Company (-6.2%). Alphabet - my lone non-dividend paying stock - is a severely miss-timed buy as I bought it almost at the peak for which I am now paying the price. This one I'll just have to wait out. I'm a bit annoyed at not re-upping Simon Property as I was watching them the whole time, but unfortunately I was a bit too hesitant. Better luck next time.
