Reporting my weekly buys that went through yesterday.  We have had a bit of a sell-off over the last week and this weeks buys went through on an especially good day- market got pounded and was down 333 points.

This weeks purchases 3/10 (Dow 17,633):
  • $250 of BP at $39.50. Yield 6.08%
  • $250 of RDS.B at $62.74. Yield 5.99%.
  • $250 of DEO at $113.35. Yield 3.05%.
$750of new capital invested and adding $37.80 to my annual dividend income.

Note: Lot of names appearing attractive as I look over my watch list.  On radar for next week: PM, CAT, BBL, BP, RDS.B, DEO, ABBV.

  1. I think we're going to get energy companies at lower prices AA, but I can't fault anyone buying today. Do you ever post a graph showing your dividend income growth over the past few years. Given the quantity and frequency of your purchases I'm certain you've made huge progress. It may inspire other investors. Have a great weekend

    1. Bryan, I agree that energy may go lower and will keep adding as they drift down. Its awefully hard to time the bottom and I am sure I will be happy with these purchases 2-3 years from now.

      I have been meaning to get some dividend income update posts up. I am going to try over the next week or so.

      Thanks for stopping by!

  2. It's good to average cost down by gradual and constant purchasing. Unfortunately, I have had too much heavy position in the energy sector. Otherwise, I would like to add some more in current pricing.

    1. Money Unbinding, I hear you, but with all the red in my energy holdings, my energy portfolio weight is dropping each week so I will continue to add. When the recovery eventually happens I will be overweight energy for sure.
