Sharebuilder Weekly Purchases- CVX, RDS.B, DEO, CAT, PM, MCD

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

Last weeks purchases 1/20 (Dow 17,515):
  • $200 of CVX at $105.19. Yield 4.07% 
  • $200 of RDS.B at $66.35. Yield 5.67%
  • $200 of DEO at $115.18. Yield 3.00%.
$600 of new capital invested and adding $25.48 to my annual dividend income.

This weeks purchases 1/27 (Dow 17,387):
  • $200 of CAT at $79.71. Yield 3.51%
  • $150 of PM at $82.28. Yield 4.86%
  • $150 of MCD at $89.91. Yield 3.78%
$500 of new capital invested and adding $19.99 to my annual dividend income.

Note: Big sell-off today as the Dow closed down 291 points.

CAT is now at 3.5% initial yield after a big 7% sell-off today after missing earnings.  It's now offering its highest yield since the financial crises.

  1. All great solid names with some pretty nice current yield as well. The CAT drop really looks interesting as that yield is looking quite attractive now. i picked up some DEO not that long ago as well. Thanks for sharing your recent buys.

    1. Div Hit, CAT yield is looking attractive. I am going to use this weakness to slowly add to my position.

      DEO is a newer holding for me and I would eventually like to bring it up to full position.

      cheers, AA

  2. Some very good purchases at attractive prices. I hope the market stays low for some time to come. I had too much TGT and sold some. Looking to replace with GE, CAT, MCD and/or NOV.

    1. I have a feeling the market may present some good buying opportunities this year. As long as there are no divdend cuts, it should be a good year for portfolio building. I am not that familiar with NOV but gonna check it out.

  3. I'm long almost everything on your list as well. Solid additions. I wrote about DEO here. It's one of my all time favorites. I wish Brown Forman would come down in price as well.

    1. Adam, nice article. Love the brand strength w/ DEO. Agree with you on Brown-Foreman- always commands a high valuation premium. Would like to get into that as well.

      Thanks for the comment and nice blog. Gardening and sustainability is one of my newer hobbies. We do have 3 chickens that produce about 2-3 eggs a day.

      cheers, AA

  4. Excellent buys. Way to take advantage of the volatile market condition. I would love to buy some more MCD and CVX once I have more cash in the registered account.

    1. CVX has rallied about 10% over the last week. Thats some serious volatility! I will look to add more if it gets back in the low $100's and gets over 4%.

  5. I really like CVX at these levels. MCS is starting to make me nervous. Their market share is on the decline and they need some serious changes quick. They need to up the quality as it has become almost inedible last few ties I was there and it varies greatly from location to location.

    1. JNJ went through serious quality issues back in 2010-2012 and everyone was predicting the demise of the company. Those purchases in the high $50's and low $60's turned out to be pretty good investments. Will the same be said for MCD in 5 years? Not sure but I am betting they will right the ship.

  6. I really like the oil stock purchases and McDonald's. Nice work.

    1. DD, thanks. I like to be somewhat of a contrarian and buy when good companies are facing some headwinds.

      cheers, AA
