July 2018 IV Purchase

July 2018 IV Purchase

July has surely been another busy month, we are enjoy the good weather finally in the northeast, summer vacation have been filled with trips to the beach, parks and visiting families. I love the summer months in New England. There are so many activities to do and enjoy, that it seems there are not enough time to enjoy it all before the football season and the winter gets here.

With that been said lets review what else I purchase in the month of July to add to my fund of dividend paying stocks which will fund my early retirement and support my family in the near future.

without further ado....here is what I purchased

July 19, 2018

COP 5 Shares @ $69.73 Total $348.65

CMI 2 Shares @ $138.08 Total $276.16

CAT 2 Shares @ $139.59 Total $279.18

F 20 Shares @ $10.82 Total $216.30

WOW, another fantastic week! I added few more stalwarts stocks to mine collection. They will be the cornerstone of my fund that will fuel my FIRE. 

With this new purchase I added in forward dividend in each of this stock in the amount of COP $5.70; CMI $9.12; CAT $6.88; F $12.00.

I will keep collecting stocks that continue to pay and raise their dividend Year-After-Year (YAY). What are you buying? What is on the horizon you are contemplating purchasing? What do you think of recent purchases?

Recent Sell on Capital One Investing

Recent Sell

I prefer to buy and hold for as long as the stock is producing regular increase dividend. However, with the Capital One Investing (Sharebuilder) selling all their assets to E*Trade, it was time to take advantage of free trades and move all my assets to Robinhood platform (RH).

RH will provide free trades, so I will be saving on fees and instead invested those fees on stable longer term stocks who provide steady increase dividend. This is the Dividend Pursuit is all about adding and collect dividend paying stocks to fuel my journey to financial freedom.

so without further ado....here is what I sold recently and started moving the capital to RH:

July 17, 2018
EPR 3.7002 Shares @ $65.67 Total 236.03 +$6.95 refunded. All fees were refunded.
O 5 Shares @ $54.65 Total $314.57 + $6.95 fee

July 18, 2018
QCOM 10.3345 Shares @ $58.65 Total $599.18 + $6.95 Fee

All proceeds have been moved to RH to buy new stocks at this point. I will eventually buy the stocks I sold. But not at the moment, as Mr. Market is presenting some other better evaluation and opportunity.

What do you think of new strategy? What are you buying? do you sell when metrics do not make sense or do you tend to hold for long term?

2018 Goal Update

2018 Goals! Update

Below is what I wrote back at the beginning of the month:

Anyone can tell you to be successful you have to have a long term goals as well as short term goals. Short term goals should be attainable. Goals that are short term nature and attainable helps fuel one desires to attain other goals including long term goals which may take years to achieve. However, whenever you achieve a short term goals this really helps motivate you to try to achieve your long term goals.

It’s with this type of mentality that I will set up my 2018 goals. Everyone knows our long term goals is to be able to achieve financial independence and early retirement. How about short term goals. This in my opinion tend to be hard to break down as everyone has different desires and train of thoughts when it comes to narrowing goals that can be both achievable and fuel your progress to achieve the ultimate goals. So here is my Goals for this year:

          1. Invest $3000 in new capital this year.   Accomplish

          2. Save for a down payment for a new house.  New Home purchase June 2018

          3. Updated a new rental unit (potentially raise rental on next tenant)  We raised 2 of our tenants monthly rent

          4. Raise rental on Two tenants. March 2018

          5. Buy 10 Stocks this year and continue to add shares to initial position. Added 20 new Stocks

          6. Buy 6 Monthly paying dividend stocks.  5 currently owned

          7. Buy Dividend Aristocrats Stocks.  PG, T, LEG

          8. Continue to build Emergency Cash to 9 months. in Progress

The goals above are all achievable and should propel my future growth towards early retirement. As you can see real estate will be part of my planning. We currently own a multi-family. We are actively looking and saving for a new property. Mrs. Dividend Pursuit we love to get a single family with an in-law setup for her parents. Her father is getting closer to retirement and hopefully we can help them when they reach their retirement milestone.

What are you priorities and goals for 2018?
It seems that I have reach most of the milestone as we reach halfway point of the year. What are we looking forward to for the rest of the year.

1. Continue to make at least 1 purchase a month for the rest of the year.
2. Move all holdings to Robinhood.
3. Save for a new car
4. Take 1 international travel. We already took one back in March so this will be an additional one.

Halfway through the month of July, it was time to pull the trigger on another superb quality stocks, with decades of paying and raising dividend. Every product to produce, you have either used it or know someone who uses them. From baby to adult, woman to men, everyone uses one or multiple lines of their products. 

It is only fitting that now I have become a part owner of this amazing company, as they pay me in form of dividend every quarter. This shows me they are profitable, specially since they have paid dividend for over 60 years...WOW, my mother was not even born yet. Their product is mostly necessary to actually enjoy life to the fullest as they are product that improve quality of life, in this beautiful planet of our Earth.

So without further ado... here is what I have purchased so far this month with mine third purchase.

July 2018 Purchase & Sell

Purchases & Sells from Capital One Investing

As we start the second half of 2018, a new month, I took the apportunity to change few things. Althought, I believe this was started last month, with the change from Capitalone Investing to Robinhood platform. the moves has some benefits and some drawbacks. However, the benefits from no transaction cost should more than compensate for the drawback, in my view are no possibility to invest base on dollar amount. Instead I will be buy number of shares range from 1 to 10 at times or even 20 as was the case with my initial purchase of GE purchase.

So without further ado.... here are some of the activities that have taken placed, first update from my Capitaone Investing account.

July 3, 2018 Purchase on Sharebuilder (Capitalone Investing)
MAIN 3.81 Shares @ $38.28 + $3.95 commission = $150.00

Sells July 5, 2018
DLR 3.1017 Shares @ $114.39, all commission of $6.95 was refunded due to Capital One sells the account to E-Trade.
WPC 7.2896 Shares @ $66.99

July 12, 2018
VTR 5.1596 Shares @ $58.41
VOD 10 Shares @ $24.29
BNS 10.0052 @ $56.85

Standby there will be more sales from now until August 8, 2018. This is the deadline impose by capital One Investing to sell partial sale before the transfer to E-Trade occurs. I may or may not take advantage of the refund on commission and move all my account to Robinhood.

What do you think of this recent strategy? I do believe I will incur some capital gains in the process but it will be easier to manage my account from one broker. Of course I will be buy most of the holding I am selling on Capital One, on Robinhood eventually. But this will also give me the opportunity to buy other bargains stock out there.

What do you think of recent buy and sell?

June 2018 dividend payout

June 2018 dividend payout

Wow another month has gone by. However, every investor cherishes this time of the month. It gives us time to stop and count our divided payout for the previous month.

So last month was another milestone for sure for my family. We closed in a new home on June 25, 2018. It is a beautiful six (6) year old house with plenty of space for the three (3) of us to enjoy with extended family who visit often. We really enjoy having family around. That is the reason why I invest in the first place, to be able to find more time with them eventually.

So without further ado....here who pay me last month

MAIN $3.17
QCOM $4.85
LTC         $3.27
STAG $4.96
PBA $0.44
O          $1.29
EPR.        $1.32
Main $5.58
DLR $3.1


Total $27.98

So last month I received a total of $27.98 in form of dividend payout. We also received $287.00 in cash flow from our rental units for a total of $314.98.

How did you do last month? Who pay you dividend last month?
