Recent Buy: Nordea Bank AB & General Electric Company

Buy the dip shopping spree continues. Nordea was on my published shopping list so it was natural candidate to follow TeliaSonera AB. On October 15th I bought 100 shares for 9,225 EUR per share. Previous dividend was 0.43 EUR per share which would increase my annual dividend income by 43 EUR.
