Welcome to the September 2023 overview, which ends the third quarter of the year and begins the last quarter of the year Q4. This month was generally calm with the exception of falls in the markets at the end of the month, we did not make purchases, but some forced sales that we will explain later and as always many dividends.
That said, let’s now see everything in detail.
September 2023 Movements
Like every month, we are going to split the movements of the month into three blocks: purchases, sales and dividends to make reading more enjoyable.
Purchases
In September there were no purchases.
Sales
There were three forced sales in September due to the recent falls at the end of the month in the American market, as we use margin at Interactive Brokers we have the risk that a margin call could jump (something that already happened to us last year), this month They sold the following shares:
Note: when a margin call occurs we have three options:
- Add more money (cash) into the broker so the margin spread increases.
- Reduce some positions (sell some companies to lower the margin).
- Transfer securities from another broker to increase the margin.
Next month we will tell you how we dealt with this situation.
