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%.
