Sharebuilder DRIP Purchases- PM, CVX, GE

Reporting my weekly buys that went through yesterday.

This weeks purchases 1/28 (Dow 15,929):

• $500 of PM at $80.77. Yield 4.66%.

• $200 of CVX at $116.46. Yield 3.43%. 

• $200 of GE at $25.54. Yield 3.45%.

 $900 of new capital invested adding $37.04 to my annual dividend income.


Note: In the middle of a bit of a market sell off with another big down day today (Dow -190, closing at 15,739).  PM looking more and more attractive as it approaches 5% yield.  I will continue to add at these levels.

First addition to GE in quite a while.  GE has sold off about 10% this month and looks somewhat interesting at these levels.

KO & TGT looking interesting as well.

Sharebuilder DRIP Purchases- PM, MCD, CVX, KMR

Reporting my weekly buys that went through last week and today.

Last weeks purchases 1/7 (Dow 16,531):

• $250 of PM at $84.65. Yield 4.44%.

• $150 of KMR at $75.12. Yield 7.19%.

• $150 of MCD at $96.73. Yield 3.35%. 

$550 of new capital invested adding $26.91 to my annual dividend income.


This weeks purchases 1/14 (Dow 16,374):

• $500 of PM at $82.47. Yield 4.56%.

• $200 of CVX at $119.19. Yield 3.36%. 

• $100 of MCD at $95.24. Yield 3.40%.

 $800 of new capital invested adding $32.91 to my annual dividend income.


Note: I have meticulously kept track of all my purchases since 2010 on an excel spreadsheet and was interested in seeing how PM's current 4.56% yield has compared to my previous PM purchases.

My initial PM purchase was on 5/14/2010 and have made total of 69 additions to the position since (includes new capital and reinvested dividends).

High Yield: 5.30% (6/4/10)
Low Yield: 3.40% (7/12/12)
Average Yield: 4.17%

Of the 69 additions, only 11 were with initial yield higher then 4.56%.

So looking back at 3.5 years of purchases, today's current initial yield is obviously attractive.

Lastly, yield on cost of the 6/4/10 high yield purchase..8.58%.
