New Buy May 2018

Recent Purchase May 2018

Where have the month of May of gone. May usually brings in flowers. So its without doubt that I planed to add more flowers to my garden that will continue to grow dividends for the long term and fuel my desired for early retirement. There are many possible stocks to add to my portfolio. However, I have been focusing on adding to my current holdings.

So its without say that some of my holdings are in prime position to lower my cost basis even lower that when the positions where initiated.

So here is what I have purchased so far:

May 08, 2018
LTC 3.72 shares @ $37.30 + $3.95 commission = $143.00

May 15, 2018
MAIN 1.93 shares @ $38.58 + 3.95 commission = $50.00
QCOM 2.26 shares @ $55.74 + 3,95 commission = $130.00

What do you think of recent purchases? What are you buying lately?

Watch list May 2018

What on your watch list this month?

Already a quarter of the month have gone. I am still compiling my list of what to put on my wish list for May. We are currently looking for a new house to purchase, this will leave our multi family house for rent and collect more rental income to supplement our dividend growth.

So for that reason will keep this list short. We will stick to our current holdings and maybe add more shares to 3 or 4 holdings.

Will be adding to this list: LTC, MAIN, QCOM, O, EPR, STAG, WPC, OHI, BNS, VTR and PBA.

not sure which one to pick from, however I do intend to lower my cost basis on some of this holdings.

What do you think of this list? Are you buying or standing pat due to current market conditions?

Thanks for visiting.

Travel

It has being almost a month since we came back from our recent international travel to the beautiful Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. We are back in the swing of things and we realize how much fun everyday life could be once we reach early retirement.

Most people go on vacation just to recharge their batteries and get back to the hassle of a 9-5 job. That is why I am investing my hard earn money, so I can reach the early retirement stage and really enjoy life while I am still young. This beats working for forty years and eventually retire at an age where I may not fully enjoy the retirement age. There are many success stories of people who have achieve this milestone at an relatively young age. So this is possible, just need to keep focus and set goals. Long term and short term goals that are achievable to continue to fuel the desire to retire early in life.

Traveling and experiencing different culture has a way of changing one thinking and creativity. Specially when you travel with a love one. Who enjoys the same things you do. Life is meant to be enjoyed and experience, not working for 40 to 50 years and try to enjoy it when you are old and lack vitality.

The sign above really hits the mark, the last sign "live the present" this is the idea work hard and save and invest most of your earnings to reach the early retirement so you can enjoy life at its present form.

Of course some risk are also great as it helps you evaluate what is the most important things in life.

April 2018 dividend update

April dividend update

Another month has come and gone. End of each month is the favorite time for all investors. This allows time to reflect, plan and ponder on what action to take next. As an investor there are many opportunities, but there are not many passive income opportunities except for dividend paying stocks and somewhat real estate in a form of rental properties. These are now my two focus as I built my passive income fund.

So here is what I collect last month. First let’s take a look at the dividend side.
stocks div amount
MAIN 2.9s1
VTR 4.01
LTC         2.53
STAG 4.19
PBA 0.44
O         1.28
EPR         1.31
WPC 7.28
BNS 2.6
Total $26.55

This is almost 50% increase from last month. Let’s take a look at real estate passive income. After all expenses are paid including mortage utilities and quarter water bill, I am left with a $68.00 of rental profits. I call it profits as this is not passive at the moment. I am managing my own rental units at this time. However I envision hiring a property manager down the line when I reach my financial freedom.

In the last two years I have been using Personal Capital to manage my finance and do some financial planning.
How did you do last month?

Thanks for visiting.

Recent purchase II April 2018

Recent purchase II

Almost closing on another month and it was time to add capital to my dividend pursuit goal. Many options to deploy capital at on REIT sector and utilities with recent downtrend on those sector. However I kept to my current holdings and add more shares to what I already own now that they are down.

So this is what I purchase wi5 my second purchase this month:

April 24, 2018
OHI 5.737 shares @ $25.46 + $3.95 Commission = $150.00
STAG 6.109 shares @ $23.94 + $3.95 Commission = $150.00

This was a chance to lower my cost average down and add to current holdings. All in all a good starting point my total shares on STAG is now 41 shares and 24 shares of OHI.

Recent Purchase April 2018

Half way through the month of April, I made my first purchase and it is a no secret that I have being concentrating on REITs as it’s being langering behind as of recent market upswing. There are many bargains on the sector as a whole, but I feel the need to add to my current positions. My motto is if I like it when it was at 5% higher I should definitely like it now at 5% discount to value.

So here is what I purchase in April so far:

April 17, 2018
LTC 2.58 shares @ $37.19 +$3.95 commission = $100.00

I have being a long time fan of LTC and this added an opportunity to add shares at a discount from my initial purchase.

What do you think of recent purchase?  What are you buying recently?

Watch List for April 2018

New Month and time to plan ahead where to deploy fresh capital. It has being said that fresh new capital, dividend re-investing and dividend increases add up to a nice juicy passive income. It is with that mind set that I plan ahead where there is value for me on this journey to early retirement.

There are few names on my watch list for April here are some names:

Health care: ABT, JNJ, ABBV, PFE and GSK
Banking: BNS, COF, RY and CFG
OIL: BP, XOM and COP
Others I am thinking about are DIS, SO, EPR, EVT, GE, IBM, IP, K, KHC, LB LTC, MAIN, O, OHI, STAG, PAYX, PG, KMB, QCOM, SBUX, STWD and TUP

Above is only my wish list long term. However, I may only make one or two purchases this month. Which will keep the concept of buy at least one stock a month.
