    1. Hi Divindependencia

      PM is a good dividend share, that will probably be able to pay increasing dividends year after year.

      Thanks for stopping by!

  5. Great summaries you provided! Thanks! I really wish I could pull the trigger on GE soon, but I missed this last dip and it rallied Friday. I'm hoping for some more market drama these next two weeks!

    1. Hi

      I think Sampo is a great company, a couple of years ago, when the price was around 17 €, I almost picked it up.

      Thanks for stopping by!
