Sharebuilder DRIP Purchases

Market is frothy.  Bargains are getting harder and harder to find so I continue to add to my cash position rather than into the market.

Right now I am almost 35% cash.

My weekly buys went through on 8/7 (Dow 13,169) and 8/14 (Dow 13,172).  Invested $201 into the same 2 companies on both transaction days.

Purchases:

• $402 of MCD at $88.96. Yield 3.15%.    

• $402 of TEVA at $40.66. Yield 1.93%.  

Total purchases of $804 and added $20.41 to my annual dividend income.

Patience...
