Especially in turbulent times like at the moment, incoming dividends are particularly good. If things continue like this on the markets, they are a great tool for me to stay motivated.
From this month onwards, I can finally start investing again, now that the costs of the move to Zurich have finally been paid off.
I am considering adding the $TDIV (+0,99 %) into my portfolio. However, I have read on several sites that the Dutch withholding tax is not credited against the capital gains tax in Austria. This means that a total of 42.5% tax is payable on distributions.
ECB - interest rate cut by 25 basis points to 2.5 %. "Monetary policy is becoming noticeably less restrictive." - Lagarde.
BoE - Interest rates are expected to fall by a further 75 basis points to 3.5 % by the end of the year.
Fed - Rate cuts are uncertain as rate chaos looms over the US economy. There may be no cuts this year.
Will European equities outperform US equities overall this year? They have been doing so since the beginning of the year. That would be a remarkable performance.
