💸 Dividends & Corporate Actions 💸 This week is all about the monthly payers - companies that pay shareholders every month rather than every quarter, so the income lands more often. Names like Realty Income, AGNC Investment, Agree Realty and EPR Properties all have last days to trade (LDTs) this week. Also worth a look: Strategy Inc, the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin treasury company, which pays twice a month. Here are some big names with upcoming last dates to trade to qualify for their next dividend payments: 🇺🇸 Costco Wholesale 🇺🇸 Texas Instruments 🇺🇸 Morgan Stanley 🇺🇸 Citigroup 🇺🇸 Blackstone 🇺🇸 Kinder Morgan 🇺🇸 Fastenal LDTs run from 27 October through to 2 November. Quiet week on the JSE and the other markets - the action is all in the US this time. See the full breakdown 📋 easyequities.co.za/corporate… #EasyRetire | #EasyEquities

Gender-based violence is a national disaster in this country. And for so many of us, it isn't something that happens to other people. We've lived it, or we love someone who has. This month's #DonateforGood charity is Women For Change, chosen by the friends of a young woman Charles wrote about in a recent Savage Take. She was 17. @womenforchange5 support victims and survivors of gender-based violence, and use activism to keep the issue visible and to demand change. On your next investment, you can donate a portion through Donate For Good. It takes a moment, and it goes straight to them. When something feels this big, it's hard to know what to do. This is one small, practical thing we can do. Read Charles's piece 📖 blogs.easyequities.co.za/the… #EasyBlogs | #EasyEquities

⛽️ Your fuel station portfolio update Godongwana’s MTBPS ((Medium Term Budget Policy Statement) came with something that doesn’t happen often: good news at the pump. From 4 November: Petrol: −R1.50/l Diesel: −R3.00/l Then from 1 December to 5 January: Petrol: −R1.00/l Diesel: −R1.50/l R10 billion in relief - funded by money returned from the Central Energy Fund rather than borrowed. Which is its own quiet bit of good news. On a 50ℓ tank, that’s around R75 you weren’t planning to have. R150 if you’re running diesel. Fill up a few times between now and January and it adds up to something real. Where it goes is entirely up to you. But money that was never in the budget is the easiest money in the world to put to work, because you never got used to it being there. 🇿🇦 easyequities.co.za | #EasyEquities
