So here finally comes my first big post at getquin 😊.
It's about dirty dividend money from coal and how it is now used in a more climate-friendly way.
How did I come to invest in coal in the first place?
One weekend on the couch while zapping through the TV channels I got stuck on a documentary about diamond mining.
Here the diamond mining of the company De Beers was looked at more closely.
Data about the company De Beers:
Legal form Limited
Foundation in 1888
Headquarters London
Number of employees 20000
Turnover 3.1 billion USD 2017
What is a Limited:
A Limited (Ltd.) is the form of corporation enshrined in British company law. It is similar to the German Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (GmbH) or its special form, the Unternehmergesellschaft (UG).
Fortunately, Wikipedia had even more information on the page about the company 😊.
Shareholder
Since 2001, De Beers is no Aktiengesellschaft company any more and from the Börsen von Johannesburg and London delisted.
On November 4, 2011, it was announced that the $Anglo American for 5.1 billion US dollars the share of the South African family Oppenheimer to acquire De Beers from 40%, increasing its shareholding to 85%. The transaction was completed in August 2012.[9] Since then, De Beers has had the following shareholders (as of May 2020):
- Anglo American: 85%
- Government of the Republic of Botswana: 15 %
Now I had received the important information I needed to invest in the diamond industry.
So cell phone at hand to TR opened and Anglo American searched and saved as a favorite.
And on 10.03.2021, the first shares of Anglo American were purchased, as research had been enough for me the documentary and from all the data P/E ratio, etc. I had no idea at this time anyway. Since I had only opened on 03.02.2021 my account with TR.
A few months it came on 05.06.2021 to the unbundling of $Thungela Resources from the company and 8.6 shares moved into my portfolio, but unfortunately you could not trade at this time the share at TR and therefore the fragments were sold by TR on 19.07.2021 for 0.24 € at that time the share stood at 2.06399 € (currently 11.50 €, so the fragments would have been worth 1.34 € today, this would be an increase of 557.17%)
At Smartbroker I still had a couple of € lying around and there I bought the first 10 shares for 18,60€ + 4€ fees at a price of 1,86€.
And after giving up the hobby of biking and the resulting sale of the motorcycle of a KTM RC8R in September 2021, there was again fresh money for shares and so wandered at that time 400 at 5.05€ on 29.09.2021 in my depot at TR where the share was now finally tradable.
Since then the share knew only one direction
until the alltime high of 21,50€ in Sep 2022.
The first dividend was on 02.06.2022 in the amount of 306.07€ after deduction of withholding tax and on 13.10.2022 followed the second dividend in the amount of 1045.58€.
Thus, I had 66.30% of my invested capital through dividends would get back😊.
Thus I could now make the climate-friendly investment and order me a balcony power plant with 820 WP on 27.09.2022 and yes I know currently only 600WP are allowed in Germany, but the inverter of Hoymiles is limited to 600W, but this could still be changed if the legal situation changes once again.
The price of the plant was 1090 € + shipping costs of 79 € in addition I still bought from the Swiss company myStrom a SmartWiFi socket for 59.90 € to track the production via app.
I had probably ordered from the right dealer and was able to start the first test setup on 30.09.2022 and the first 54.59Wh were produced.
On 01.10.2022 I then commissioned the system with 2 modules, but unfortunately only with a temporary base frame, as the perfect frame was sold out.
Since as is well known a provisional holds the longest is on 04.03.2023 the plant unchanged and I have started to write the post for it and the planned conclusion takes place on 01.10.2023, because then the first year is rum where the plant is in operation.
Here is an overview of the electricity produced by the 820WP plant.
As a small note my meter is an old Ferraris meter, so the meter turns backwards when more is produced than consumed.
