Every little helps

The first extra dividend of the month has been credited to our endowment insurances, namely Hercules Capital, Inc. Common Stock (HTGC). Although HTGC is far from our biggest payout, it is most welcome.

SEK has further strengthened against USD in recent days, which has caused the value of our portfolio to decrease even though the share value has increased.

Although we have all our holdings in American companies and profit from a weak SEK, it feels better as a Swede when the SEK is not collapsing against the rest of the world.

Tomorrow my parents will check out of the hotel in the US where they have spent the last two weeks, so they will definitely earn a stronger SEK. My sisters and I are also winners as that they dispose less of our future inheritance... 😉
