New purchase : Nokia

I made this purchase back in March but did not report it as this was not planned to be part of dividend portfolio. I purchased 600 shares of Nokia at 5.20€ per share. Plan was to wait a while and sell them for higher price, but then Nokia share price went down and has not recovered enough yet so I decided to add them to my dividend portfolio. I now hold 750 share of Nokia
