A large part of the stock purchases I made since December focused on Diageo and this month is no different! As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I don’t mind adding to this position if Diageo stays in its current range and that’s exactly what I did.
This time I got my hands on six more shares of Diageo (DEO), which increases my yearly after-taxes dividend income by about £10.07 (12.96EUR). The only bummer is that Diageo pays just twice a year, but I can look forward to a nice dividend in October as they use a 40/60 split for the interim and final dividend.
As it stands right now, my projected dividend income for 2017 is 1,236.26EUR. The actual number depends on currency fluctuations, dividend raises/cuts, dividend reinvestment and the addition of fresh capital.
Which stocks did you buy this month, or which equities are on your buy list?
Dividends are Coming 
The 2017 forward looking dividend is nice…!
On my radar is mainly unliver and cofinimmo or some other Belgian REIT. Other than that, my ETFs.
I do not know captain Morgan, but the commercial sure does look nice.

Unilever is a position I’d like to add more shares to in the future, great stable company for the long-term.
I’ve never sampled Captain Morgan either but just like you I found the ad appealing 😉

Congrats on the buy. I was a little surprised that they recently sold off all their wine to Treasury Wine (an Aussie company) what did you think of that?

Probably not a bad move to sharpen the focus on the core business, the wines accounted for just a couple percentages of Diageo’s revenue and had much poorer margins.
