Sharebuilder DRIP Purchases- CVX, GE

Reporting my weekly buys that went through yesterday.

This weeks purchases 2/4 (Dow 15,445):

• $200 of GE at $24.60. Yield 3.58%.

Note: Both CVX and GE are trading well above my cost basis but I think they both offer some decent value at these levels.  Will be more aggressive with each at 4% yield.

Buy: PM

Volatility has returned in full force to the market!

We had a nice sell off today of 326 points with the Dow closing at 15,373.  Looking back at my posts, we were at 16,555 on Jan 2.  That's a nice 1000 point drop over the past month!

PM has been hit especially hard and is down almost 7% over the past week and 14% year to date. Getting close to that 5% yield I have been looking for, I just couldn't resist adding to my PM position.

Bought 25 shares at $75.81 for a initial yield of 4.96%. 

This addition brings my total share count of PM to a hair under 300 and my 12 month go forward PM dividends to $1123.

My Sharebuilder weekly purchases go through tomorrow.
