I don't know Interactive Brokers. It's true that at first sight their offer seems interesting for the brokerage fees. Personally, I don't bother with that, because for me, transactions are so rare that even if I have to pay a few francs or even tens of francs extra on an order, it's really insignificant. What is important, however, are the more hidden fees charged by banks and brokers, such as deposit fees, fund withdrawal/transfer fees, etc. With Postfinance, apart from the additional fees, I don't have to pay anything. With Postfinance, apart from transaction fees, everything is free. Besides, I know these financial intermediaries, I know what they're worth. A little less confidence in foreign players, though.
As for the tax risk mentioned by Armand, I assume he meant if these securities are not declared to the Swiss tax authorities.ETFs on the Swiss stock exchange are limited. I place my orders either through Postfinance or Migros Bank. Between the two, I can almost always find what I'm looking for. Sometimes, for the more "exotic" stocks that can't be traded on either side, I ask Migros Bank to open a position, which they almost always do, except for MLPs.
In fact, it's mainly because this strategy is slightly different from GDG, and doesn't look for stocks with monstrous track records. US exes are first and foremost diversification and hedging instruments for GDGs, while of course bringing in valuable growing dividends. In fact, it's best to combine the two worlds, or even the four (with smokings & drinkings dividends and REITs&MLPs).
Thales looks interesting to me. Next time I do some stock analysis to include in my strategies I will review it.
Hi
Your wallet is starting to look good, it's just a shame about that little line of CSGN. Glad you were able to get out of FTR without any problems.
I see you were also tempted by TGT, the lame duck who ultimately doesn't seem so bad.
I might be tempted by Nestlé like you, which has interested me for a long time. I sold it a long time ago, with great regret, before following a strategy oriented towards increasing dividends.
HP, nice choice indeed. I will note it in the titles to analyze and why not add it in the strategy of the Global Dividend Growers.
In a way I find most stocks much too expensive at the moment unfortunately. Between T and CVX that you mention, I have a preference for the second (more history of increasing dividends).
Hi Revelly
welcome among us. I also like Claude Mathy and C. Dereeper. I also wrote on objectif eco at the time.
Good luck to you in your investments and on your way to financial independence.
It all depends on what you're looking to do. I have the impression that you mix a bit of speculation, with fairly short purchases/sales on fairly volatile stocks and a bit of dividend-oriented investment. Some of the stocks in your portfolio speak to me, like Colruyt, Danone, Unilever and Essilor for example, others more techno like CAP Gemini or Schneider Electric that I don't really see in a perspective of increasing dividends.
Bonjour Jean-Luc,
sur une période de 5 ans. Avec les dividendes croissants ce sont les tendances à long terme qui nous intéressent.
Yes, without information and without taking into account the legitimate concerns of the people. I voted against the initiative but I can understand the arguments of those who voted for it. The subject is much more complex than it seems. Wanting to make those who voted for the initiative limiting immigration appear to be morons, backward, fearful or otherwise is a serious mistake. People voted with full knowledge of the facts. Switzerland has a long tradition of direct democracy and it is not as if they are being asked the question for the first time… people do not vote simply because they are being facilitated or by letting themselves be guided by emotions. The proof is that the Swiss refused a sixth week of compulsory vacation…
An interesting little survey:
Yes, it is also a value that I follow in my strategy Smoking & Drinking Dividends. Great value indeed!
If the correction continues, we will finally have a little more choice again.
