@FinanzMechaNikk Merck is the kind of pharmaceutical stock I could probably hold in my portfolio forever. Back then, I saw an opportunity with a dividend yield of over 4% and bought the stock right away. Yesterday, Merck was the second-largest position in my portfolio, and Ahold is offering a yield nearly 2% higher at the current stock price... I see another opportunity here given its expansion strategy.

•@PoorDad By the way, I like that your AI character is buying Pepsi! I wasn’t familiar with Ahold before—thanks for the insight. Besides the nice long-term upward trend, I think it’s great that they’re already active in the U.S. So far, the only things that have put me off are the competition and the Dutch withholding tax.

•@FinanzMechaNikk Withholding tax shouldn't be an issue that deters investors. If you're Austrian, the double taxation treaty takes care of everything, and the Kest is credited against the withholding tax. I think there's also a double taxation treaty in Germany (I'm not German, so I'm not entirely sure).
