Recent Stock Purchase

Hello everyone,

While this market is making it somewhat difficult to find good value, I still want to nibble here and there to keep my portfolio rolling.  Today I purchased a company that I sold months ago, as I felt at the time it was overvalued so I took a profit with the hopes it would fall and I'd repurchase.  Today was that day!  That company is Realty Income, O, which has fallen considerably from when I sold it at a tad over $70.  I've been hoping for a nice drop in the REIT sector, along with a short drop with the FED interest increase.  It didn't drop too much with the FED increase but it's still at a good point with it's drop over the past few months.  I decided to only purchase a small position, with hopes it will continue falling and I'll add to it in the weeks ahead.  Here is a summary of the purchase:

Realty Income Corp. (O):
Shares: 20
Purchase Price: $54.05
Commission: $0
Total: $1081
Forward 12 month Dividend Income: $48.72

Overall, I feel it was a good starting point to get back into an O position.  I purchased these shares in my Roth account to maximize tax value with a REIT.  I still have some cash sitting in my Roth, so I may add more shares with any downward movement.  Well that's it for now and thank you for stopping by!

November Dividend Income

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to give a quick snapshot of my dividend income for the month of November.  November, as many of you know, is pretty slow in the Dividend game, but I still had a few companies  paying. Here is a breakdown of all dividends received:

Apple Inc. (AAPL): $13.11
Verizon Communications (VZ): $16.86
Proctor and Gamble (PG): $12.69
Kinder Morgan Inc. (KMI): $5.88

In total, I received $48.54 in dividends for the month.  In 2015, for the month of November I received $29.11, so the snowball is rolling!  I'm hoping to substantially increase that number by next November, as my goal is to be over $100 for the month next year.  Anyways, that's it for now and I really appreciate you stopping by.

Recent Stock Purchase

Hi everyone,

I've steadily increased my purchases over the past month, as I'm putting some of my cash to work on
my dividend train to gain some speed.  This week, I added to my Coca-Cola Company, KO, position. I was able to add 19 shares at $39.90 per share for a total purchase price of $758.10 (no commisuon) With this purchase, I now hold 40 shares of KO in my portfolio.  I really loved picking up some more KO with sub-40 share prices, as I've been wanting to add to my position for awhile.  I'll be looking to add more soon if the price dips below $40 again.  This purchase brings my forward yearly income from KO to $56.00.

Thanks for stopping by!
