Financial Goals for 2014!

Halfway 2013 I started my journey of becoming a Dividend Growth Investor. I sat goals for the coming years. These goals (annual dividends received) were based on the assumed dividend growth, yield, monthly deposits and stock price appreciation. For the first year this came at $500 or roughly €380 (EUR.USD-rate was around 1.3 at the time).

Recent buy: Omega Healthcare Investors

Today I've initiated a new position. With €1.250 in fresh capital and some extra dividends I purchased 59 shares of Omega Healthcare Investors Inc (OHI). As I previously wrote, OHI is a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") providing financing and capital to the long-term healthcare industry with a particular focus on skilled nursing facilities located in the United States.

O or OHI: What to buy?


I am planning to make a purchase next week. Since I currently don't have any REIT exposure in my stock portfolio, I would like to add some using fresh capital. Especially considering the recent correction in stock prices due to worries about tapering and rising interest rates, this might be a good time to start a position.

Real Estate Investment Trusts
The REIT universe is quite but but I narrowed it down. I am considering two companies at the moment: Realty Income (O) and Omega Healthcare Investors (OHI). Although these companies are active in a different segment, their business is more or less the same.
