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%.
- $250 of RDS.B at $72.31. Yield 5.20%.
- $200 of GE at $24.50. Yield 3.59%.
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
AA,
ReplyDeleteI bought those four stocks this week also. Hell I may just keep buying them for next several weeks as they continue to look good at these levels. Keep up the great work!

MDP, yea, I think all 4 look goo here. I really want to bring my position of CVX up to a full position so will keep adding at these levels and obviosly lower.
ReplyDeletekeep up the great work yourself!
Cheers, AA
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'm just curious, but how do you determine what a full position is, for your portfolio? Based on total # of stocks, based on sector, etc.,?
Just curious. I've recently started my very small snowball.
Anon- I base it on $ and % of portfolio. Full postions for me are generally in the 5% range.
ReplyDeleteSo if my portfolio value was $100k, I would consider a $5k position as full postion.
cheers, AA
Very nice buys! Also bought some BBL using sharebuilder automatic program in the last 2 weeks. I am keeping an eye on UL also for next week ;)
ReplyDeleteKeep it up!
As Shit was hitting the fan I had to pick up something! I ended up buying a $500 lot in both AFL and SON! Big fan of CVX right now (they were my Sept $500 lot purchase).
ReplyDeleteHaven't bough the others since they aren't in the dividend champion list
Fab,
ReplyDeleteGood pickup on the BBL! Also congrats on signing up with Sharebuilder. I have been a very happy customer for a few years now. You will see the constant investing builds up after a while!
Cheers!

Evan, I like AFL and CVX alot at these levels. Not familiar with SON but quick glance looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteSince you mention the dividend champions, I do think MCD looks good at these levels.
Keep up the good work!
