Villeroy & Boch Pref Shs

$VIB3 (-0.72%) re-entered with 200 at EUR 15.70 as there is currently increased insider buying by the Management Board.

The dividend snowball is rolling and growing 😉 $VIB3 (-0.72%) is my biggest payer in April next to $CSCO (+2.56%)
$SIGN (+0.37%) and the $SLICHA (+0.73%) Meanwhile I have received 3700€ net distributions from Villeroy&Boch over the years. I love it 🚀

How does it look for you in April? Is the snowball getting bigger?

Here's a good example of why short-term price fluctuations don't matter at all to me.

$JUN3 (+0.66%) vs. $VIB3 (-0.72%)

Jungheinrich are today temporarily +12% up. Villeroy&Boch, on the other hand, slumped -7.5%. Look at my portfolio, in the long term this does not bother me at all. Of course, everything should generally be in order with your investments. Otherwise, do not panic 🙃

Hahn Airport - After the Chinese HNA Group, which owns 82.5% of the airport, filed for insolvency earlier this year, the airport is now insolvent as well. At the time, the airport counted 4 million passengers annually, but after Ryanair diverted more and more flights to other airports, there were only 1.5 million passengers in 2019. After the HNA bankruptcy, however, the airport management was sure that this would not change anything in the operation.

Netflix ($NFC (-0.38%)) - Quarterly numbers beat expectations:

User growth: 4.4 million instead of the expected 3.84

Earnings per share: $3.19 instead of $2.56

Revenue: $7.46 billion as expected

The reason for this strong growth was, among others, the successful series "Money Heist", "Sex Education" and "Squid Game". The latter was even streamed by 142 million users within 4 weeks of its release, making it the most successful Netflix production to date.
