Buy: TEVA

Along with my regular Drip purchases that went through on Wednesday, an open limit order with TEVA also went through.

Purchased 40 shares at $37.65 for an initial yield of 2.08%.

TEVA is the largest generic pharmaceutical company in the world and is currently trading with a forward PE of 7 (among its lowest since 1998 verses its normal PE range of 20-22).  I believe TEVA represents very good value at these prices.

This purchase added $31.40 to my annual dividend income.

We have had a little rally over the past week.  Market was up 79 points to close at 13,248.

Today's buys:

• $250 of EXC at $30.05. Yield 6.99%.  I am currently down about 20% on my EXC position and I do think there is a good chance for a divided cut next year.  With that said, I do think it is over sold.  I am not going to aggressively add to this position but do think it offers value in the $30 and below price range.  Of course I could be catching a falling knife.
  

• $200 of INTC at $20.59. Yield 4.37%.

Buy: INTC

I have been patiently waiting for Intel to drop below $20 all month.

I could not pass up adding today as the stock opened up 3.5% lower on the retirement of the CEO.

Pulled the trigger on 200 shares at $19.63 for an initial yield of 4.58%.

Did I catch the bottom?  Most likely not. 

However, I am happy collecting a 4% plus yield on a premium blue chip that I believe will right the ship despite the fears of slowed growth in the PC market and lack of market share in the mobile chip market.

This latest Intel purchase will provide me an additional $180 in annual dividend income.

Sharebuilder DRIP Purchases

We have had a small correction since Obama was re-elected last week as attention has focused to the fiscal cliff and the realty of another 4 years of Obama.  With that said, some stocks are starting to look attractive again.  Among my favorites, McDonalds and Intel are both sitting at 52 week lows.  Intel is looking especially attractive sitting at $20.28 and a 4.4% yield.

Exelon (EXC) is also sitting at a 52 week low ($29.94..7% yield) and has been pummeled over the last week after the CEO announced a possible dividend cut sometime in 2013.  I believe it is oversold here and may average down.

Today's buys went through on another down day and was off 59 points to close at 12,756.

• $400 of MCD at $85.26. Yield 3.61%.

Sale and a Buy

Trimmed my postion in CLGX today to lock-in a very nice gain.  CLGX has been on a tear: up 111% YTD and over 160% the last year.  Here is the 1 year chart:

CLGX is a growth stock and does not pay a dividend.  The valuation has gotten frothy with a PE of 48 and forward PE of 23.5.

I sold 300 shares at $27.65.

Took the proceeds and bought 300 shares of INTC at $22.45 to lock in a 4.01% yield.  My portfolio is very light tech so this purchase adds some tech exposure.  I have had my eye on INTC for some time and have been waiting for a 4% yield entry.

This new position will add $270 to my annual dividend income.

QE3, PM, and PM's

 
QE3 announced and market gains 207 points to close at 13,540. Fed says they will  be buying $40 billion in mortgage-backed securities each month and keep rates at artificial and "exceptional" low rates until at least 2015. 

Good news for investors that own financial assets and precious metals. Bad news for the poor, middle class, and fixed income savers. 

Watch out for inflation in the coming months and years.

Silver was up over 4% to close at $34.67.  Gold up 2% to close at $1772.

In other news, PM raised dividend 10%!  Corresponds with 4% gain to close at $90.13.

Party like its 2007!

Big rally today in the market as it closed up 244 points to close at 13,292- the highest point since December 2007!

For better or worse, I stayed fully invested throughout the turmoil and the subsequent recovery and my net worth is 3x higher now then it was in December 2007.

Looking back, it makes me realize that one of the most important traits of a successful investor is guts.  Be willing shake off gut wrenching paper losses without selling and have the balls to buy more when the market is a complete train wreck.

The market has rallied the past week and gained about 3.5%.  Big rally today of 163 points to close at 12,574.  I lightened up a little on my purchases which went through today.

Today's purchases:

• $249 of BBL at $55.55 Yield 3.96%.
  

• $249 of MCD at $87.26. Yield 3.21%.

Rally +284 (2.4%)

I had a feeling the market was oversold and today the market bounced back for the biggest percentage gain of the year.  Market gained 284 points to close at 12,415. It is impossible to judge where the market will go from day to day and we will probably have a 100 plus point down day before the end of the week.

Sharebuilder DRIP Purchases

Market has been choppy.  It was up most of the day before losing steam towards the end and closed down a point to finish at 12,503.  Most of the Sharebuilder orders went through at the beginning of the day when the market was up.  That is my biggest negative on Sharebuilder.  On days like this, it costs me a percent. If I could control the orders and the date of purchase, I would probably be able to buy 1-2% cheaper.  Especially in a volatile market.  Anyways, added the following today:

• $200 of CVX at $100.30. Yield 3.59%. 5 year average yield is 3.1%. Avg PE 9.8. Current PE=7.3.

• $350 of BBL at $55.59. Yield 3.96%. **Lowest buy price of my DCA purchases**  

• $200 of AFL at $40.74. Yield 3.24%. Avg PE 14.5.  Current PE= 8

• $200 of EMR at $47.53. Yield 3.37%. 5 year average yield 2.8%. Avg PE 17.7. Current PE=15.

• $250 of RDS.B at $66.03. Yield 5.21%. 

• $250 of MCD at $91.34. Yield 3.07%. 

Total purchase of $1450 and added $54.92 to my annual dividend income

Facebook IPO= D.O.A.

Facebook's much anticipated over-hyped and overvalued IPO did not go as planned. Opened at $38. Closed at $38.23.  Currently valuation= 88 P/E. LOL

The market sell-off continued with the Dow falling 73 to close at 12,369.

Rough week!  Market was five days in the red for a total loss of 4.3%.

Is the market oversold?

Correction Underway

The market was down again today with a 156 point loss to close at 12,442.  It has dropped 11 out of last 12 days.

Yields are getting juicy and bargains are starting to appear.

Among the beaten down that I have my eye on: EMR $46.19 (3.46%), AFL $39.82 (3.31%), BP $37.50 (5%), RDS.B $64.75 (5.21%)

Mining stocks have been hit very hard.  BBL has been down over 10% over the past week and currently sits at $54.09 (4.07%).  FCX down has also been punished and closed at $32.17 (3.89%).

Facebook IPO is tomorrow.  I will be passing.

Strong Start for 2012 and recapping 2011

Strong bull market to start the year.

Even though it has taken a bit of a breather the past 3 days, it is still close to 3 year highs closing today at 12,660.

To recap 2011, on January 1, 2011 my annualized dividend income stood at $2931. One year later, I stand at $6,048. This represents a 106% increase.

Actual dividends received in 2011 amounted to $4023. This represents a 252% increase from 2010's total of $1597.

Finally, total passive income of interest and dividends totaled $5,234 for 2011. 2010's total was $2731. This represents a year over year increase of 91.6%.

I will be hard pressed to meet these year over year % gain numbers for 2012 but I will try my best.

My goals for 2012:
1) $8400 annual dividend income.
2) $8000 total passive income.
