📊 INVESTMENT ACTIVITY | AUGUST 2026

August was another month of building and consolidating my portfolio. 📈

💰 Portfolio value: €4,592.76

💵 Dividends received: €17.61

📈 Realized return: +10.28 €

📊 Unrealized return: +159.10 €

📉 Change in open position: −16.49 €

🔄 MONTHLY CHANGES

The main focus continued to be $LX (+3.6%) , where I took advantage of the price drop to add to my position and gradually lower the average cost.

During the month, I also made some sales, notably in $IIPR (+0.1%) and $PRGO (-1%) , and added a little more to $MAGO (+1.15%) .

💰 DIVIDENDS

I received dividends from:

$VZ (+1.23%) • $POLR (+4.68%) • $MAGO (+1.15%) • $NNN (-0.44%) • $O (+0.75%) • $APLE (-1.5%) • $KVUE • $PBR (-1.68%) • $EQNR (+2.16%) • $OXLC (+2.46%)

🎯 GOAL

To continue growing the invested capital and, over the years, build a portfolio that is increasingly capable of generating passive income through dividends.

August had its ups and downs, but the strategy remains simple:

📌 Invest every month

📌 Strengthen positions with potential

📌 Take advantage of market opportunities

📌 Think long term

The goal isn’t to get it right every month. It’s to keep building. 💪📈

Here is the list of individual "Stocks" that pay monthly dividend that I plan to add in small percentages to my portfolio...

$MAIN (-0.21%) - Main Street Capital

$GAIN (+1.94%) - Gladstone Investment

$HSHP (+3.92%) - Himalaya Shipping

$EFC (-1.71%) - Ellington Financial

$APLE (-1.5%) - Apple Hospitality REIT

$GWRS - Global Water

Some are more solid and secure than others but since I intend to invest a limited amount of capital in them, 1 k € or so out of a portfolio of more than 110 k will not have a big influence and therefore I can afford this "experiment" aimed at raising the monthly and stable income of my portfolio, which is about 90% focused on distribution and at the same time achieving growth in invested capital.

Today there were dividends again from Apple Hospitality REIT $APLE (-1.5%) - and it's moments like this that show why I invest for the long term. 🍎🏨

Apple REIT is a hotel REIT that invests in strong brands such as Marriott, Hilton and Hyatt. This means: income from a solid, crisis-resistant portfolio - and regular distributions for me as a shareholder. 📈💰

For me, every dividend payment is like a little proof that my money is working for me while I sleep. And if you consistently reinvest these payments, small amounts turn into a really strong cash flow over the years.

🔝

Today I bought 90 shares of $APLE (-1.5%) today. This is a monthly payer with a current dividend yield of around 8%.

My focus is currently on cash flow. Every dividend payday motivates me and it feels good. Even if share prices stagnate or fall, the investment continues to work.

What do you think of the share and of monthly payers in general?

Why the decision: I already have shares in $O (+0.75%) in my portfolio and it is one of the larger positions. I would like to expand this theme further, also outside the USA with $REI.UN (-0.24%) .

Do you have any suggestions from outside the USA?

Last new addition for January. Looks promising to me and continue to increase my dividends :D
