Weekly Investment Activity - Dividend Growth

Hello readers and fellow bloggers,





This post will detail my investment activity for the week of November 3^rd to November 7^th.  I’m still getting back into the swing of things, as the family all had some terrible colds since November.   During the week, I only contributed some small amounts to my Loyal3 account and to my direct investment account.   The market has been gaining ground daily as of late, so I’ve been waiting to put some additional capital to work.  As of my last weekly posting, I had about $1600 saved for additional purchases.  I’ve added $500 to that amount for a total amount of $2100 that is sitting in my brokerage account.  I have a few on my shortlist, but still analyzing the companies to make the right choice.  As of now, it appears the best value is in energy stocks, as oil prices are still very low.  Anyways, back to my weekly activity.  During the week, I invested $120 in my Loyal3 account, as I made small purchases in McDonald’s Corp. (MCD), The Coca-Cola Company (KO), The Walt Disney Company (DIS), Wal-Mart (WMT), and the Target Corp. (TGT).  These purchases are my ongoing strategy to slowly invest into high quality companies in my Loyal3 account, as I’ll be making weekly and/or monthly purchases.  In addition, I invested $120 into my direct investment plans in the Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) and ConocoPhillips (COP).   Overall, I invested $240 for the week and saved approximately $500.

Loyal3:

I invested $120.00 in my Loyal3 account for the week.  I added small amounts to my positions with McDonald’s Corp. (MCD), The Coca-Cola Company (KO), The Walt Disney Company (DIS), Wal-Mart (WMT), and the Target Corp. (TGT).  My purchases were spread out in the following manner:



McDonald's Corp. ( MCD ): $25.00 invested adding 0.2636 shares

Target Corp. ( TGT ):  $35.00 invested adding 0.5507 shares

The Walt Disney Company ( DIS ):  $25.00 invested adding 0.2795 shares

Wal-Mart ( WMT ):  $25.00 invested adding 0.3168 shares



Direct:

I had two automatic investments, as I continued my monthly purchases in Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) and ConocoPhillips (COP).  The summary of my purchases are:



Exxon Mobil Corp. ( XOM ):  $65.00 invested adding 0.689535 shares

ConocoPhillips ( COP ):  $55.00 invested adding 0.787566



Summary:



Not a hugely productive week, but it meets my strategy of continual small investments to slowly grow my dividend growth portfolio.  I was able to invest a total of $240 into existing positions, with the use of no fees by direct investment and Loyal3.  I added another $500 to my available funds in my brokerage account, which gives me a total of $2100 for future purchases.  I’m really antsy to make another purchase, but I’m being patient to see what the market offers me.  Thanks for stopping by and checking out my little blog, as I continue my journey for financial freedom.  I’ll be posting a follow-up to this posting, which will detail my current positions.  Thanks again for checking out this posting.
