I smelled a rat 🤓

No, just kidding—I didn’t smell a thing 🤗

and neither did Charlie Munger. He actually believed that no one on the stock market knows what’s going to happen—including him and Warren Buffett…

but maybe Trump? 🤪


We have a stock market that some people treat like a casino. And it’s full of people who think they know what’s going to happen, even though they have absolutely no idea - Charlie Munger


But one thing I do know… I bought Accenture at a dividend yield of over 5.4% .

If $ACN (-1,79 %) the dividends in the future are are not cut in the future, then at least I can pretend I knew it all along 😄


A month ago, I wrote about my start at Accenture and asked if the falling knife would cut my hands...

Short answer:
not not yet.


Of course, that could change at any time, because a falling price is no guarantee that it will rise in the future.


Since I the term “AI” on the stock market to be nothing but hot air and prices tend to get inflated as soon as the word appears in any headlines , I simply do the opposite of what the herd is doing...

Don’t get mad at me, but in in my opinion , there’s no reason to rate a company like Accenture so low...

But yeah, that’s just the stock market


And as André Kostolany used to say:


When the market hits rock bottom, the hard-nosed investors hold the stocks and the nervous ones hold the cash. At the peak of the boom, the hard-nosed investors hold the cash and the nervous ones hold the stocks


With that in mind, I’d like to reiterate that I know nothing except what I’ve read or seen.


ACN is paying dividends today


What do you think about $ACN (-1,79 %) ?

@PoorDad I also bought "contrarian" shares in $TEP; they've performed even better so far, up a good 50%.

@Dividendenopi I saw your post. I think you're happy with your entry... great dividends for compound interest if they keep rising like this. As for the telecommunications sector, I’m mostly just keeping an eye on it. I think SpaceX is awesome for the future—for telecoms and data centers in orbit (with a lot of optimism and imagination 🙃).

Hey, with your posts, you're starting to give " @Simpson " a run for its money! Except that he doesn't have a crystal ball.

@Maxxey I don't like the word "rival"... more like a competitor 🙃 but really, I'm just here... 😄

started buying it in june and have a average price of $161 and 42 shares so have a similar idea about this company and the AI- threat.

I’m also invested in Accenture, but you’d better hope that AI isn’t just “hot air,” because Accenture is basing its entire consulting business on it. So if AI is a bubble, then we’ll see some very different stock prices (double-digit) at Accenture... 😉

That aside, the stock price has only fallen because the market is concerned that clients will go directly to OpenAI, Google, etc., for consulting services. OpenAI has already announced its entry into this segment. In any case, I’m curious to see how this plays out... 👍🏼

@Part_Time_Joe By "hot air," I actually meant AI-driven fear... In my opinion, that's just hot air... And that kind of fear isn't anything new on the stock market... with $PAYX $ADP $WKL... etc... it's exactly the same thing

$ACN In my opinion, this is a great opportunity. Once again, the market is overreacting wildly with its panic over the “Saaspocalypse” and the absurd notion that we won’t need software—and consequently, consulting services in this area—in the future.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have any cash on hand to buy right now, but this is exactly the kind of opportunity I’m looking for.

You might need to be patient until the valuation realigns with fundamentals.

But in the meantime, you’ll get your 5.4% dividend 🤓

@AlterFalter24 Thanks, that's exactly what I was thinking... but yeah, the paperhands are thinking too short-term... but we need them to snag good prices. I cut my Bristol Myers position in half and shifted the proceeds into ACN... it was a decision driven by gut feeling.

I'm in too, and I'm up almost 40%. Today, Trade Republic withheld about 50% of the dividend. How do you guys handle withholding tax? I actually thought there wasn't any.

📌 Accenture (IE00B4BNMY34) on Trade Republic: Beware of the tax trap!



Anyone holding Accenture stock on Trade Republic is in for a nasty surprise when it comes to dividends: a tax deduction of over 50% looms!

The problem: Trade Republic withholds 25% Irish withholding tax. Since this isn’t automatically credited in Germany, you’ll also have to pay the full 26.375% German tax.



💡 3 ways to save your money:➡️ Claim it back yourself: File a claim directly with the Irish tax authority (Revenue Commissioners) to get the 25% withholding tax refunded (involves a lot of red tape).

➡️ Switch brokers: Transfer the stock to a broker that reduces the Irish withholding tax directly to 0% (e.g., often available through comdirect, Consorsbank, or flatex).

➡️ Switch to ADRs: Sell the Irish stock and buy Accenture’s U.S. ADR instead. In this case, tax credits apply (effectively only ~26.4% tax).

@jkb92 Check with TR Support right away. That would be the most reliable source.

@PoorDad I sold it, haha—it was just a trade anyway, and 40% was worth it given how much I put into it.

@jkb92 Oh haha, because of the tax? 😅 Still, it was a good trade.

@PoorDad Yeah, it was annoying, so I just decided to get out, haha. It also worked out well with the RSI on the daily chart :)

A very interesting company, even if you don't care about the division

@Multibagger Anyway. For me, it's a good indicator when you're looking at a healthy company. Would you invest in a company like ACN?
