Sharebuilder DRIP Purchases- BBL, BP, CVX

Reporting my automatic buys from last week.

Last weeks purchases 12/2 (Dow 17,880):
  • $750 of BBL at $47.83. Yield 5.19%
  • $750 of BP at $40.93. Yield 5.86%
  • $250 of CVX at $115.85. Yield 3.77%
$1750 of new capital invested adding $92.30 to my annual dividend income.


Note: Will continue to buy energy names with continued weakness in oil.  Yields are getting juicy.

  1. Nice buys AA. I bought BBL on Thursday and CVX is at the top of my watchlist. Here's to hoping oil continues to sell off.

    1. Hi Bryan, the oil sell-off continues. CVX now at 4%, BBL 5.5%. Those are some attractive entry yields.

      Thanks for stopping by.

  2. Great buys AA! Like you I have been buying BBL every week since a month now, and added CVX last week. Probably some more BBL + CVX next tuesday! Cheers.

    1. FabSavings, I like your buys (like AFL too). I will keep adding to BBL and CVX as they go lower.

      cheers! AA

  3. Great buys here but if the dividends get cut from some of these, it could send the share price down even further. It could also hurt someones portfolio that is overweight in that sector.

    1. Dividend Mongrel, I am sticking to the mega-caps here. Not too worried about dividend cuts from these names. I have been through dividend cut before (EXC) and it was not pretty.

      cheers,AA

  4. Thanks for sharing your recent buys with us. Three popular names and all are on my watch list. I know many are looking for continued weakness in oil but eventually you'll be wanting to look for strength.

    1. DivHut, I will be happy weakness in oil for an extended period of time so I can keep adding and reinvesting dividends to CVX at 4%, Shell at 6%, BP at 6%.

      Thanks for stopping by! AA

  5. Hi AA!
    I bought BBL and BP today as well, I am currently heavy on CVX and wouldn't mind averaging down. Thanks for sharing, I'll be following your journey.
    Take care,

    1. FrugalitytoFinancialFreedom,
      Good buys on BBL and BP! BP is one of my newer positions. I have been in BBL since 2012 and my cost basis is quite higher then the lows we are seeing now. I will keep averaging down and collect the healthy dividend as I wait for the shares to recover.

      Cheers! AA
