Today, chance put some play money in my pocket. Off-market, I was able to sell a few shares in $DE0006288632 for €72 after fees. Purchased at €49.7 incl. fees, I was able to make a tidy profit.


This gave me some money to add an Asian share to my portfolio.

Today, a weak economy was priced into the stock market in China, causing all stocks to fall. A good time to buy cheaply.


My choice was $17 (-0.26%) as the dividend was/is surprisingly stable and incredibly high. With the negative payout ratio, this is certainly a very shaky candidate, and the domestic political issue between China and Hong Kong also plays a role here. The share price of $17 (-0.26%) was sent to its lowest price in 21 years of company history by the loss announcement published on 30.08 & 02.09 (20B HK$) with minus 13%.

The bottom line is that this was a risky bet and a plunge into a falling knife, with a small chance of winning something.


In any case, I am now learning something about withholding tax in China and Hong Kong.

Sounds like "left pocket, right pocket" to me when the company pays out such high dividends and the share price continues to fall 🤷‍♂️
