October 2026 in Review

Hey,


It feels like I wrote the last report just yesterday. But October is actually already over. The vet bill is paid, my birthday is over, and now we’re heading toward Christmas.


📈 Performance:

S&P 500: +0.27%

MSCI World: +0.05%

DAX: +2.46%

Dividend portfolio: +5.25%


My top and bottom performers in October were (Top 3/Bottom 3):

🟢 ($IMB (+1,97 %) ) Imperial Brands +23.27%

🟢 ($LLY (-0,46 %) ) Eli Lilly +21.79%

🟢 ($AMT (+0,12 %) ) American Tower +18.29%

🔴 ($2768 (-0,09 %) ) Sojitz -9.08%

🔴 ($ADM (-2,66 %) ) Archer Daniels Midlands -10.53%

🔴 ($RIO (+0,89 %) ) Rio Tinto -11.70%


Dividends:

October 2026: €151.60

October 2025: €96.89

Change: +56.47%


Sales:

🟥 None


Purchases:

🟩 ($Z74 (+0,33 %) ) Singapore Telecommunications (€1,014)

🟩 ($DTE (-1,1 %) ) Deutsche Telekom (€239)


Investment plans:

($MSFT (-3,35 %) ) Microsoft (€25)


What else happened?

Apart from the vet and my birthday, nothing. October was actually very quiet, so I took the time to get my finances up to date and, most importantly, do some calculations for the future to figure out what I need to save or pay, when, where, and how. There’s nothing like good financial planning.




🥅 Goals for 2026:

I’m trying to reach €85,000 in my dividend portfolio this year. Currently, I’m at around €86,140. I’m expecting about €364 in net dividends this year (according to getquin).


So I’ve already hit my goal.

I’m curious to see how things will go from here and am keeping one eye on the €90,000 mark.

Belated happy birthday. What’s the life expectancy of a raccoon, anyway?

How did you figure out that you’re 2,500 short when you’re already 1,140 over your goal?

@DonkeyInvestor I guess I spent too much time at Moes' Tavern again.

@DonkeyInvestor Maybe something went wrong with copying the text or something. I have no idea. It's fixed now 😅
