Free Shareholder Swag in CH

Life Hacking
82

Not sure which one I’ll get.
Starting at 70 CHF on their web shop though, with certain models/colors on sale for less.

Why should I sell? As long I’ll be getting the pyjama and given how long I can wear it, it’s like having a lifelong subscription for pyjamas for a couple of hundreds of CHF.

I’ve been wearing Calida for a couple of years and been happy with their quality.
I kind of like the brand, not just buying the stock for stuff I don’t need (such as my recent Swatch buy).

Though I admit, if other exchange-listed high-quality underwear or sock manufacturers were giving stuff similarly away to shareholders, I’d probably build up a diversified portfolio of them. :grin:

Why would sell your PJ? I mean, how many PJs does one need?! I can safely live with 3 :sweat_smile:

As a calida pyjama lover I’m thinking about buying the 20 shares… I have a high usage of pyjamas and regularly add 1-2 pyjamas a year to the 5 pyjama pool. :smiley:

Edit: But i pay 30chf average (blackfriday or similar, online)

They make a decent gifts for relatives, right? You can simply choose their age/gender/size.

I don’t have a pyjama – maybe I need some stocks for a free pyjama :wink:

Yes, exactly. You receive an order form, where you specific what you want (see picture earlier in the thread).

I’d be in if they had a underwear swag option. Never had better ones, but CHF 50 for 3 pairs is just :unamused:

That’s the point. Given what 20 shares cost, and given the price I pay in-store for a PJ, it would take an awfully long time for this investment to pay off. If I then consider that they might drop the offer anytime…

Dividends are a bit like bonuses at work: You get used to them very quickly, but they can disappear just as quickly. Take LafargeHolcim’s scrip dividend for example: Hasn’t been paid for two years in a row.

I am now holding 40 Calida shares that I acquired at an average purchase price of 33.30 CHF (first 20 were actually much less expensive) this year.

The current stock price is 37 CHF (up about 11%).
I am to receive a dividend payment of 64 CHF in the next couple of weeks - and a free, high-quality pyjama that’s worth at least 35 CHF (even if they’ll send me the most “on sale” model and colour).

I can still sell my shares on the stock exchange (after deregistering from the register of course).
So it certainly has paid off so far, hasn’t it?

Your calculations include a rise in stock price. I was calculating my ROI purely in pajamas as my unit of account. You might be right.

Aren’t shares automatically deregistered when they are sold? :thinking:

Can you explain the process at DKB to have your (Swiss) shares registered? I’m into buing some UHR…

E.g.: What exchange to buy, how to register, what forms do you need, …?

thx!

Good question, but honestly I don‘t know. Either they deregister automatically - or prevent me from selling.

Securities depository needs to be in CH (which it is, if you buy in Zürich - which in turn is the only place you can, at the moment, I believe).

Contacted customer service, asked whether they‘d charge me the scary-looking 300€ fee recently introduced (they don‘t). They sent me an e-mail with a 1-page form to complete with my personal data which I returned to them.

Bit old-fashioned but painless - which is OK, because, mind you, for DKB these are foreign securities, so probably not a process they‘re doing very often.

Yeah I have also a pretty nice gain entering at under 30 CHF :smile:
Still waiting for my pyjama, do you know when it comes? I expected it around the 15th

96

I’m also waiting. Would have expected it only after the annual meeting (on the 15th).

Yeah received mine as well 3-4 days ago, today a nice dividend of 240 CHF and a total pcnt increase of 37% (got the stocks for 26.8 CHF).
I’m very happy with Calida, even though next year I should get the gift pyjama for my girlfriend I don’t think that I will appreciate a 90 CHF pyjama. I’m still using the 5 CHF pyjamas I bought during a trip to Turkey :stuck_out_tongue:

Regarding Swatch I was wondering which ticker do you need to own in order to receive a watch, is it UHR.SW? and then how many do you need to own minimum? Finally, do you really receive one watch every year?

No, it is the UHRN.swx (Namensaktie), because you need to register this share in the shareholder book with your name and address.
