Sharebuilder DRIP Purchases- BBL, MCD, DEO

Reporting my weekly buys that went through yesterday.

This weeks purchases 10/28 (Dow 17,006):

• $300 of BBL at $52.90. Yield 4.69%.

• $250 of MCD at $91.86. Yield 3.70%.

• $250 of DEO at $115.63. Yield 2.99%

$800 of new capital invested adding $30.79 to my annual dividend income.

Note: Initial purchase of Diageo (DEO).   Had my eye on them for a while and think $115 is a decent entry point to start building my position. They have stumbled a bit this year, wide moat, appear to be at fair value, and I'm a big fan of their products!

Sharebuilder DRIP Purchases- CVX, RDS.B, BBL, GE

Volatility has returned to the market and we are starting to enter 10% correction territory.

Here are my weekly buys that went through yesterday-

This weeks purchases 10/13 (Dow 16,315):

• $300 of CVX at $112.07. Yield 3.82%.

• $300 of BBL at $54.05. Yield 4.59%.

• $200 of GE at $24.50. Yield 3.59%.

$1050 of new capital invested adding $45.40 to my annual dividend income.

Note: Chevron is now approaching 4%.  I have been a shareholder since the middle of 2010 and the highest initial yield I have seen was 3.94% back in July 2010.  It was trading at $73 and paying out $.72 quarterly.  I will continue to add at these levels and will be more aggressive at 4% ($107).  I would like to bring CVX to a full position.

This was my first addition to Shell this year.  I have a full position in Shell but will start adding more if it gets below $70.

On my radar for next week: CVX, BBL, MCD, V, ACN, AFL
