My dividends are shrinking?? what's going on?

Hello there! Here I am, at 6:15 PM on my day off having a nice cup of tea and listening to what sounds like some of Oasis’s songs on the radio. Can’t complain though, the view from the new place (recently moved :)) is pretty nice, summer, on the other hand, seems to have slowly faded away in the Emerald Island and we are now back to sub 15 C temperatures. By the way as suggested by One Million Journey on my previous post Update #002 - May 2021 I’m using google docs for writing the post so let's see how it goes this time.

A few weeks ago, while I was doing my regular dividends check in my Google sheets I noticed something that caught my attention. Several of the dividends that I had recorded seemed to have been shrinking since I started receiving them. This was shocking to say the least, so I decided to write down my findings here for posterity :). Enjoy!

Update #002 - May 2021

Here I am, June 2nd, re writing this post because freaking Blogger editor is crap... and deleted all my draft when I was trying to copy a freaking table to it. Anyways... May did not go unnoticed to me at all, lots of interesting events in tha finance world, from the crash in Bitcoin and other cryptos, to a deep in the SP500, AT&T announcing Warner media spinoff, etc. Adding to all the financial madness, Ireland has provided some of the sunniest days I can remember, so all in all things in May were interesting.

Personal finances are looking good as well, second highest month in expenses coverage with passive income reaching 1.89%. As usual, mostly driven by the P2P portfolio returns and less than half by dividends from my stock portfolio. No big chances in the P2P portfolio, although a few things are not looking so nice. I did make some changes in the stock portfolio that you might find interesting, bought some deep in the lows we had in the first half of May
