Hi all!! Yesterday I wrote a post about the begining of my journey on building an stock portfolio. You can see it here:

Getting into stocks for the first time

Today, I made up my mind about which stock will be my first. The initial plan was to buy Coca Cola first because of the longevity and blablabla. Of course, it doesn't have much more to grow cause anyone in the world knows about Coca cola, but hey, it's a safe bet. I was curious about what would be the dividend pay-date of the stock, and well...

At first I was like, hey, if I buy now I will get my first dividend at October 2, but then I learnt what ex dividend meant 😅 It's not like you can buy the stock the day before the dividend pay, get paid and sell them. You need to own the stock from a minimum date. That's the ex dividend date. So as you can see, I had to ow the stock from Sep 14, so no dividend for me yet 😫 But then the heavens opened for me and I was illuminated.

Realty Income Corporation

This one was on my newbie radar, and I discovered that it gave out monthly dividend. Indeed, it's known as " The Monthly Dividend Company " and that sounded tempting.

Now, the real answer: When is the next ex-dividend date on this one?

👀👀

Now, as I shared on the previous post, the market is plummeting like crazy lately, so I'm very undecided about making a movement. But either way, I can't live with fear forever and likewise, the price is very low, so tomorrow afternoon I will make my debut dumping my 500$ on this little boy 🤡

Let's see how it goes.

See you in the next one!!!
