March 2019 - Recent Purchase

Recent Purchase - March 2019

Early in the day, early in the month that is what this month theme will be. Early on the month I took advantage of market conditions to add more shares, to stocks that I already own and also added new stocks to the fund.

Like I say Mr. Market, sometimes presents a buy opportunity and you have to be ready to act upon market conditions without reacting to negative news. Since there will always be different news that can influence the markets, one needs to be ready to pounce on it (no pun intended) when there is an opportunity to buy.

Let us review what I add recently to my fund that one day will fuel my FI/FIRE journey.

Without further ado...here is what I purchased:

March 5, 2019

QCOM 5 shares @ $53.78 total $268.89

KMB 4 shares @ $116.97 total $467.88

GPC 5 shares @ $108.62 total $543.10

RIO 10 shares @ $59.03 total $590.30

KHC 25 shares @ $33.00 total $825.00

March 7, 2019

ABBV 5 shares @ $77.76 total $389.80

BLX 4 shares @ $20.02 total $80.08

CAH 3 shares @ $47.59 total $142.76

This was an opportunity to average down on some of my holdings. Some were purchase when they were 10% to 20% higher than current prices. So if I can consistently buy some shares with a long term view I can probably average down in the course of a 5 to 10 years of accumulation time frame.

I try not to pay attention to the noise that the market is throwing at us. There will never be a day or week or months and even years that market doesn’t spill out negative reports on various different subject. These are market gyrations that can causes huge losses if we pay attention to every news and ingest and digest every single breaking news out.

With this purchase I added $3307.81 in fresh capital. This added $142.60 in forward yearly dividend.

February Dividend -Update

February 2019 - Dividend update

A new month has started and it is time to count the dividend received last month. This is every dividend investor favorite time of the month. The time to count the dividend and see who paid us the previous month.

I look at it as wonderful businesses who decide to share a little bit of their wealth with investors. Of course long time investor has the time horizon on their side as the dividend couple with dividend increase will compound over the long haul.

Without further ado...here is the list of the dividend stocks who paid me:

Stocks	Dividend Amount
BMY	$0.82
VZ	$9.04
T	$9.18
CVS	$3.00
EPD	$2.61
WES	$9.80
CFG	$4.48
HEP	$8.68
OKE	$5.16
PAYX	$5.60
MAIN	$6.83
O	$2.26
CL	$3.36
EPR	$4.50
OHI	$12.54
ABBV	$16.05
ABT	$1.60
PG	$7.17
CAT	$3.44
SBUX	$4.68
FAST	$4.30
WELL	$4.35
LTC	$2.28
PBA	$0.46
SIRI	$0.02
HCP	$4.07
TOTAL	$136.28

A total of 26 different companies share a little bit of their wealth with yours truly and this is a wonderful thing. I received $136.28 last month in dividend that is a whopping $773.41% over last February 2018, truly amazing the power of compounding.

As I continue to build my portfolio to reach FI/FIRE, I could not be more proud to own this companies who share a piece of their wealth with us.

How did you do last month?

March 2019 watch list

March 2019 watch list

Wow! We are already at the beginning of the end of first quarter of the year. This year is really fly by!

However, new month and it is time to plan what I will he planning to add to my fund. Last month saw an increase on the amount of capital I deploy. This month I will try to stick with the basics, unless Mr. Market throws a wrench our way. Where this could present a opportunity to buy stocks at a depressed value. 

In the meantime let us review potential purchase for this month:

Chubb (CB) I would like to add more shares here. Their board recently proposed a 2.7% dividend increase, which means they will have increase dividend for 26th year and a row, surely a dividend aristocrat which I love to own.

TD - one of Canadian bank I love to keep add shares to. They also increase their dividend of late by 10.4% amazing.

T - Big T continues to be a great value with a juicy dividend. It may be time to add more shares here .

VZ- I believe Verizon will be a great 5G implementations slate to begin in the first half of 2019. They are set to be the leader in this area. Also the 4% dividend is very juicy for a stable dividend payer.

ABBV - with the price down more than 10% of recent it may be time to add more shares here as well.

KO-  It may be time to add KO to my fund I have been in the sidelines waiting for the price to drop. So I will start a small position to get start this position.

Also I am looking at other potential purchases to include: LTC, MAIN, RIO, ETN, GPC, KHC, KMI, VFC, OXY, BLX, MRK. GILD, BCE, IRM, CINF, ITW, STWD, DLR and LEG

The above list may present a buying opportunity depending on market conditions, I am hoping to initiate a position in some of this stocks.

What do you think of my watch list, are we buying similar stocks?

What are yo buying lately?

February 2019 - Recent Purchase II

Recent Purchase III - February 2019

The last day of February is here and March is around the corner. I cannot believe we are already heading to first quarter of the year. 

After vacationing with my family last week and now we are fully engaged in our regular routine, it was time to start investing again. There are a lot of stocks I wish to own. This is specially true after few of my favorite stocks cut their dividend. 

That is why you want to be diversified and not rely on a handful of stocks, instead a bigger pool will provide a more diversified stocks who will provide regular dividends.

It is with that new concept that I have been focusing on adding more stocks and changing my prospective in investing to include more stocks in my fund. I have not come to a conclusion to the number of stocks I will be adding to my FIRE fund. But I have been adding quite a few in the last few weeks.

Now without further ado... let us look at what stocks I purchase recently:

February 26, 2019

DAL 7 shares @ $51.58 total $361.06

February 27, 2019

QCOM 6 shares @ $53.00 total $318.03

WHR 5 shares @ $142.43 total $712.13

PEP 5 shares @ $115.25 total $576.24

DEO 6 shares @ $155.95 total $935.70

TSN 5 shares @ $61.56 total $307.80

D 2 shares @ $74.28 total $148.56

AZN 25 shares @ $42.38 total $1059.62

February 28, 2019

PFG 6 shares @ $52.48 total $314.88

I spent a total of $4734.02 and added four (4) new stocks to my FIRE fund. With this purchase I addded $239.27 in forward yearly dividend.

The market is on the upswing so it was time to add more stocks and shares of my favorite company. Given the fact that I had four companies cut they dividend this month, this will surely add more dividend to my fund.

February 2019 - Recent Purchase II update

Recent Purchase II Update - February 2019

It seems that the market have rebounded from December lows, the market continues to be in the upswing. Bargains are becoming hard to find. However, it is best to ignored the noises and continue to invest with a long term view, specially if you wish to achieve FIRE.

The Dividend Pursuit family just return from our February vacation. We visited the Orlando, Florida for a week. The weather was beautiful and definitely warmer than Massachusetts and the best we missed the cold weather and snow last week in Massachusetts. It definitely puts life in prospective when one takes vacation to recharge the batteries and break the daily routine. 

As I return to work on Sunday, it was a wake up call that I do not wish to work forever and maintain the same routine. My passion and the desire to reach FIRE was definitely burning hotter after the vacation. 

Spending time with family and drawing closer to each other as we spent time doing different activities. The visits to the Disney (DIS) theme parks was a clear evidence why I will continue to purchase DIS Stocks, hopefully it can come down a little bit before I add more shares to my fund in this magnificent company, that is well diverse and position to grow this year and for years to come.

Now without further ado... let us review what I purchase recently in my portfolio of funds: 

February 15, 2019

LTC 2 shares @ $47.46 total $94.92

AFL 3 shares @ $49.33 total $147.99

TUP 10 shares @ $29.76 total $297.57

IP 4 shares @ $47.07 total $188.28
LB 10 shares @ $27.33 total $273.30

February 19, 2019

CMI 2 shares @ $154.67 total $309.34

MAIN 5 shares @ $37.87 total $189.35

HSBC 6 shares @ $41.52 total $249.12

WELL 5 shares @ $76.75 total $383.73

HSY 5 shares 109.70 total $548.50

February 20, 2019

GSK 10 shares @ $41.51 total $415.10

February 22, 2019

UPS 5 shares @ $109.80 total $549.00

JNJ 5 shares @ $136.41 total $682.05

WOW, it was definitely a busy month. I did not plan to spend this much money investing, however the opportunity to add shares and also add five (5) more different stocks to my collection seem to good to pass on.

I have wanted to own Johnson and Johnson (JNJ) for long time as well as UPS  and Hershey (HSY).

The opportunity was there so I pounce on it this time, they all have paid dividend yearly for a long time and they usually reward the shareholder via dividend increases handsomely.

With these purchase I added $4328.25 in fresh capital and this will add $131.82, forward yearly dividend.

Recent Purchase -February 2019

Recent Purchase Update - February 2019

With the Government now open, I was able to get some pay although I have not received all back pay due at this point. This has had an impact on what I purchase and the frequency I usually try to keep on a weekly basis.

However, last week I add more shares to existing stocks I already owned. I will try to keep the same amount of stocks I currently own or even trim back few more stocks this year.

Now let us review my recent purchase, without further ado...here is what I purchase.

February 13, 2019

BP 2 shares @ $42.63 total $85.26

PSX 3 shares @ $96.06 total $288.18

This month I was trying to focus on my watch list and building current stocks shares already on my portfolio retirement fund. However, BP still looks attractive so decided to add few more shares.

With this purchase I spent $1149.67 and added to my in forward yearly dividend in each stocks in the following amount:

 XOM $22.96
