Rally

Market has been red hot over the past 2 weeks. The rally took a day off today and was down about 41 points to close at 11,478.

I have been using Sharebuilder over the past year to DCA into building my positions.

My Sharebuilder orders executed on Tuesday and picked up:

• $250 of AFL at $39.04. Yield 3.07%.

• $250 of ABT at $52.62.  Yield 3.65%

• $150 of MO at $27.59. Yield 5.94%.

• $200 of KMR at $61.21. Yield 7.52%.

• $200 of LMT at $75.97. Yield 5.27%.

• $250 of BDX at $74.2. Yield 2.21%.

• $250 of CVX at $97.99. Yield 3.18%.

• $150 of GE at $16.03. Yield 3.74%.

• $200 of PAYX at $27.78. Yield 4.46%.

• $249 of PM at $65.60. Yield 4.70%

• $250 of PEP at $60.9. Yield 3.38%.

• $200 of PG at $64.52. Yield 3.25%.

• $200 of RDS.B at $66.66. Yield 5.04%.

• $249 of TEVA at $37.94. Yield 2.07%.

I actually did not want to make make additional purchases of CVX, RDS.B, ABT, LMT, MO, and PM. I changed my investment plan on Monday but I guess my changes didn't register with the system. I will make sure this does not happen again.

Anyways, total amount of new capital was $2948 and these purchases will add another $117.55 to my annual dividend income.

It seems as if we are in a trading range between 10,500 and 11,500.
