September 2018 III Purchase Part I

September 2018 III Purchase Part I

We are halfway through the month of September, I continue to collect stocks that will be the cornerstone of my Dividend Pursuit portfolio, which will fuel my goal to Financially Independent/Retire Early (FIRE). To that end I collect stocks that have a track record of annually increase their dividend to keep up with inflation. Inflation can erode one's early and purchasing power as the years go by. 

US markets tend to present best options to buy stocks with a long term track record and stability. But that does not mean international stocks do not present the same value and record, it is just harder to find and keep them long term. As international markets specially the emerging markets, does not have the same sticker regulations and company structures as USA does. The political instability can also be a major cause of concern. These is why I will stick mostly to US, Canadian, UK, Germany and France companies in general.

However, Mr. Market can present value at times, which makes it hard to ignored possible opportunities. That is why I started 3 position in Latin American with my third purchase this month. Since I am using Robin Hood (RH) i started some low end positions and did not spend much here as I hope to track all 3 stocks longer before adding more shares.

So without further ado...lets see what I purchase:

September 14, 2018

TUP 30 shares @ $32.86 total $985.80

September 17, 2018 

VIV 10 shares @ $9.73 total $97.30

BLX 5 shares @ $20.89 total $104.45

TGS 7 shares @ $15.40 total $107.80

First Tupperware (TUP), has long been a position I hope to add, It is at 52Week low here so was time to buy. The dividend is safe as payout ratio is around 65% currently compared to earnings, current dividend of 8% is on the high end, so lets hope the stocks appreciate in the near future. This purchase will add $81.60 to my forward yearly dividend. The purchase is also eligible for the upcoming dividend as the Ex-Dividend date is September 18, 2018, with the payout on October 4, 2018.

Telefonica Brasil, S.A. (VIV), this is a play on one of the biggest economy in South America. Brazil is a hit or miss. So I will be hoping to hit big on this one. VIV like TUP is a low point of its 52 Week average, so there is room to grown here. Current Dividend payout ratio is still low at 40% compared to earnings, so there is an expectations that the dividend will grow, couple with Brazil population which is majority young and vibrant, the telecom companies will continue to grow, last quarter the Mobile revenue increased at 4.2% clip. VIV is paying down debt and the revenue continue to grow.

Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior, S.A. (BLX), I first purchase BLX back in 2016, so it was time to initiate the position again. I very much like the exposure to Latin American. BLX is headquarter in Panama. Panama, has seem an increase of USA Ex-pats, so banking is a huge drawn here as USA citizens move to water weather and with the increase of baby boomers reaching retirement in the near future. The current purchase adds $7.70 to my forward yearly dividend.

Transportadora de Gas del Sur SA (TGS) engages in the production and commercialization of natural gas liquids. It operates in the following segments: Natural gas transportation; production and commercialization of liquids; other services; and telecommunications. TGS is headquarter in Argentina, so another play in South American here. I like that the payout ratio is still at lower end of 28% versus earnings. Argentina, is still dealing with Peso (currency) flatuating and dropping more and more. However, it is an emerging market that has a lot of potential to grow and grow fast. This purchase will add $7.64 to my forward yearly dividend.

All in all I like the purchase and the current shape of where the portfolio fund is heading. The current forward yearly dividend is now at $1040.01. I just cross my first thousand (1000). 

What do you think of current purchase?

September 2018 Purchase II

Vacation Labor day weekend. September 2018 Purchase II

On this somber day of September 11, 2018. A time to pause, ponder and reflect on the tragic events of September 11, 2001. I took the time to reflect on life and plan for next few months on potential to do list, Stocks buys and other ventures with our real estate holdings. I was also able to reflect on this past summer, and start to plan for next summer on what we could potential plan to do.

As the summer came to an end, we took our last vacation this time we visited the beautiful Niagara Falls. It was definitely tremendous to see the nature in person. To experience the water falls and be able to enjoy it with family was a definitely a blessing. The mini vacation does motivate me to continue to build my passive income, so one day I am able to rely and live me life without worrying about the financial aspect of life.

We also visited the Niagara Falls Aquarium, which was the highlight for Junior. Ever since shark week, he has been fascinated by sharks. Below he admires a shark!

Now that Junior has return to school full time, I should have more time to invest and research stocks I wish to buy. Today I took a different approach and add more shares to current holdings. I kind of did not plan to do so, but did not find any opportunity to deploy capital in any new stocks, so this is the best approach for now. So lets see what I purchase today as the market came to a close.

Without any further ado... here is what I purchase on:

September 11, 2018

LEG 5 shares @ $46.28 total $231.38

GE 15 shares @ $12.36 total $185.32

MAIN 9 Shares @ $39.61 total $356.47

LTC 3 Shares @ $45.46 total $136.38

MRK 3 shares @ $69.16 total $207.50

Total Invested $1118.05 commission free of course since I am using Robin Hood (RH) to trade and buy stocks. You can also use the free app by clicking the link and sign up with RH.

LEG purchase of 5 shares will add $7.60 to my forward yearly dividend, total shares now held is 10.

GE purchase of 15 shares will add $7.20 to my forward yearly dividend, total shares hold is now 37.

MAIN purchase of 9 shares will add $21.06 to my forward yearly dividend, total shares now held is 20.  Three (3) shares of LTC purchase will add $6.84 to forward yearly dividend, total shares hold is now 7. Three (3) shares of MRK purchase will add $5.76 to my forward yearly dividend, total shares now held is 5.

The purchase serve mostly to add shares and average down on some of my holdings like MAIN and GE. Both continue to laggard behind most industry peers. I do believe in both holdings long term and I am patient enough to wait five (5) years on both holdings, while I buy quality stocks I do tend to buy beat down stocks at time.

With the purchase my forward yearly dividend is now at $939.47. The fund will continue to buy stocks and hold for long term unless the dividend are cut. 

What do you think of current purchase?

What are you buying now?

August 2018 Dividend Payout

August 2018 Dividends payout

Another month has come and gone, and it is now time to count the dividends collected last month. I prefer to call it my passive income collected , as we also collect rental cash flow from rental units we own.

Now lets first take a look at dividends and the companies who paid us last month.

-->

stocks	Dividend Amount
MAIN	$4.61
OHI	$16.47
LTC	$0.76
STAG	$4.98
PBA	$0.45
O	$1.29
EPR	$2.16
NWFL	$1.1
CVS	$3
VOD	$11.75
DAL	$2.45
CINR	$2.84
BPL	$10.1
VZ	$2.36
HCP	$2.59
FAST	$2
SBUX	$4.68
BMY	$0.8
T	$3
TD	$1.54
ABM	$0.7
AGNC	$1.8
HEP	$6.6
WES	$5.7
PAA	$3
CL	$2.1
ABBV	$3.84
ABT	$1.4
PG	$7.17
CFG	$0.81
O	$1.54
Total	$113.59

Wow, 31 different companies send me a small slice of the pie in what they made last quarter, in form of compensation via a dividend payout. Lat month total $113.59 is enough to cover my Comcast bill $95.00 a month. There is one expense cover last month with real money paid by this wonderful 31 companies who share their wealth with me.

Last month rental cash flow came in at whopping $2079.00. after pay off all the expenses for the rental and maintenance on the property. WOW real cash passively been earned, due to the fact I has the audacity to invest in real estate market. 

Total Passive income earned in August was $2192.59, which is truly amazing. The rental income is due to a new tenant that move in early August. The tenant is a family so it should provide a stable income for the next twelve months. They also paid First, last and security deposit. Last month and security deposit is not included in the calculations here. As I tend to hold it in a separate account until its used to account for the last month. I keep a strict rule on the security deposit as it minimizes my expenses when the tenant leaves when their leases or up or moves on.

How did you do last month?
Any of this names on your collections of dividend payout?

August 2018 V Purchase

August V Purchase

As the month of August came towards conclusion on the last trading day of the month I made two (2) more purchase to end the month on a high note.

So without further ado... here is what I purchase:

August 31, 2018

QCOM 3 shares @ $68.79 total $206.37

PFG 4 shares @ $55.23 total $220.92

WOW, I keep adding super starts of stocks to my collection. This company not only pay dividend but year after year they keep increasing their dividend payout to keep up with inflation. Inflation can surely erode any future growth, but dividend increase from stocks who raise them to keep up with inflation is surely one of the solution to reach FIRE. I am glad to add these stocks to my dividend pursuit fund of stocks.

PFG, Just raised its dividend to $0.53 a share payable on September 28, 2018 with Ex-Dividend on this coming September 5. I will get a meager $2.12 payout, but I will continue to buy more shares and with continue dividend increases, This will add to my yearly payout to eventually reach my Early Retirement.

QCOM, also regularly raise their dividend. On September 5, they will go Ex-Dividend paying $0.62 a share. This will result in a payout of $1.86. This will add $15.92 to my forward yearly dividend which now stands at $784.39.

What do you think of recent purchase?

What do you intend to buy?

September Stocks consideration

September 2018 Watch list 

September is right around the corner and so is the end of summer. Junior will be starting kindergarten this year so a lot to prepare for the upcoming new school year. But there is certainly a new month starting so it is time to ponder on what I may purchase next month as well.

There are a few stocks that I wish I bought last month so I may take a look at them as well. I have come to a point in my collection of stocks that I will now focus on adding shares to my current holdings however, Mr. Market can always throw a curve wrench to say the least when you least expected it. To that end I will be looking and others who I added to my watch list but have not pull the trigger as well as what I intent to purchase

Now lets look at potential Buy: O, LTC, EPR, MRK, IBM, CAT, KDP and TD.

What else I will be looking at and potentially purchase two (2) or three (3) of this  stocks to add to my collection: QCOM, TUB, PEP, KO, CB, BNS, CINF, EIX, CM, PFG, ITW and STWD.

What a list. I would be happy to own all of this stocks if I could. But I will be happy to add few more shares or even add one or two of this stocks to start a position.

What do you think of my watch list for September?

What do you intent to purchase for September?

New Purchase IV August 2018

New Buy IV

As the month of August is coming to an end it was time to add more capital to collect more stocks to the Dividend Pursuit FIRE Fund. The market is continue to be overprice on allot of stocks I wish to buy. So it was only fitting that I purchase this stock as its at its lowest level in quite few years.

Without further ado... here is what I purchase with my fourth (4th) August purchase.

August 22, 2018

LB 15 shares @ $32.44 for a total of $486.60

August 24, 2018

LB 5 shares @ $27.52 total $137.60

KMB 2 shares @ $116.60 total $233.20

What not to love about Limited Brands (LB) despite continue profits and beaten the consensus street estimates, the stocks continue to go lower. So what is one to do, if I love it at $32.44, I definitely do at $27.52, so I bought five (5) more shares a few days later. The stock does have some potential to go lower and when it does I will be sure to add more shares.

You cannot go anywhere now a days without seem a young woman wearing or using one of LB brands, either Vitoria Secret, Pink collection, Bed & Bath works etc. So there is certainly potential for a bigger rebound in the stock price, but I am more content collecting their dividend as they gave been increasing dividend consistently.

What do you say about Kimberly-Clark (KMB), they are a giant among many diversified products and I am happy to start a position here. I only bought two (2) shares hoping it drags a little bit in the next 90 days.

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