Total dividends received (before taxes) during Q4/2014 were 244,30 USD. Overall portfolio performance during 2014 was above expectations as the market value in euros increased by 20,70% (including increased valuations, dividends and changes in EUR/USD exchange rate). Total dividends for the whole year were 123 EUR and 584,32 USD.
This was first full year for this portfolio. Strategy for the new year shall remain the same unless political situation offers extraordinary circumstances. Oil prices and NOK (currency, not stock) valuation is something I have my eye on in 2015. Otherwise I expect mainly to add on existing positions and perhaps open one or two new positions depending on the market situation and valuations.
