Weekly Sharebuilder Purchases

Here are my automatic investments for this week.

  • APU:  13.23 shares @ $45.34 --- Yield  7.76%
  • BP:  11.43 shares @ $52.53 --- Yield  4.45%
  • PAYX:  14.29 shares @ $41.98 --- Yield  3.33%
  • CLX:  6.47 shares @ $92.62 --- Yield  3.2%

Total capital invested this week is $2400 ($600 in each company).  The combined yield of these purchases is 4.69% and will add $112.56 to my yearly dividends.


$100/week Challenge---Week 11

We finally get a solid Tuesday pullback in the markets and 3 of my 4 purchases are moving higher on the day with PAYX up almost 2%.  :-(  

BP looks to be a good value here while CLX and PAYX are priced to perfection, like the rest of the market.  PAYX is due for a dividend raise pretty soon and I will be eagerly awaiting to see the results.

Stocks on my radar for the rest of this month are ESV, BP, APU, PAYX, CLX, PG, GE, and TCAP.

    Nice job. The consistency is awesome!

    BP still looks pretty solid here for the long run, albeit with some potential volatility along the way.

    Best wishes!

      I like BP and will continue adding until I reach a full position. GE is looking good here as well. Thanks for stopping by.

  2. MDP,

    I like these buys for your portfolio, great job keeping pace. I've been looking at GE and adding to BP. Wishing you a great rest of the week.

    Take care,

    1. Ryan,

      Both of those companies you mentioned look great. Don't forget PG...I hope it stays at these levels for the next few years.

  3. MDP,

    Nice buys again this week. CLX is a good stock to be in and I am also looking into it. But it never seems to come down. Maybe I should just go ahead and buy it.

    I am big fan of GE and it is already the largest one in my portfolio.

    Keep it going.

    1. DGJ,

      I have a feeling Clorox will never look cheap. Simple products, great customer base, and strong execution. At 3.2% this is a no-brainer! PG would be a great alternative also.

  4. I love the automatic investment plans. I wish we had something like sharebuilder here in Canada. I've also been looking at adding PG recently. In the Canadian market it's hard to get proper diversification.

    Take Care

    1. MRWF,

      Thanks for visiting! You are right about the automatic investments. Following Accumulating Assets and All About Interest is how I found out about Sharebuilder and I have been very pleased with the service.

    2. I really wish ShareBuilder offered this plan of 12 trades for $12/month. They don't have it anymore and it is 3.95 per automatic trade now
