Made three trades in the past month.
Bought CSE Global at 46c. They are a technology company, primarily servicing the oil and gas sector and secondarily, government infrastructure. Most of their work is project based - they talk about recurring income, but I'm not sure how 'recurring' it really is. I bought because it was fairly cheap and it 5% yield is probably sustainable. I can collect it while I wait for oil sentiment to improve. Key numbers to watch are its order book, and receivables (they had a big problem with them in mid-2017). Its 2% of my portfolio, due to its lumpy (project based) earnings.
Bought Gazprom at USD 6.91, a Russian gas giant supplying Europe and China. It was cheap, paying a 7 percent yield (before 10% Russian withholding tax, plus ADR fees). It should grow dividends to a 50% payout ratio, as their capex winds down and sales increase. This idea is from Sven Carlin, here. I'm not analysing it, as its a big company, not transparent, and theres no advantage to me doing so. Its also 2% of my portfolio, with 2 big risks. One, geopolitical risk (eg: wars) means gas to Europe may be disrupted, even if its cheap. And two: Putin decides this company should belong to the Russian people, once again.
Bought call options on a European bank. This bank has gone through several rounds of capital raising and NPL disposal. Its cheap, trading at half tangible book value, where similar banks from the same country are trading at 70+ percent. It will probably pay a 5% yield (@ 50% payout ratio). If it reaches 70% of tangible book by June 2022, my money gets multiplied 2 and a half times. If not, then zero. Its a 1% position.
[Edit 8-Nov: Bought more options, expiring in Dec 2021. Another 1% of my portfolio].
Last month I finished buying Manulife US REIT, its now around 10% of my portfolio.
