$100/week Challenge---Week 19 S&P 500: 2005
This week I am adding to some underweight positions. BBL, GM, and MCD continue to show weakness in an otherwise strong market. I will continue adding to these positions if they pull back further.
Other stocks on my radar for next week include BP, GE, CVX, BA, ESV, CLX, T, and DE.
Great purchases as usual. I'd purchase BP, GE, T, and DE for next week if I were you. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tawcan. I like BP, GE, and T, but they are pretty large positions. Maybe they will become larger positions next week. :-)

MDP,
ReplyDeleteOn fire, as usual!
I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do with BBL. I'll probably just wait until the new company is listed on the Australian exchange and then just sell that part. Not really what I would prefer to do, but I'd rather not deal with share ownership on foreign exchanges.
Keep it up!
Best regards.
DM,
DeleteI think BBL looks good from a value standpoint. I will probably add more if it stays around $60.
Take care,
MDP
I'm amazed at your consistency. Great stuff. It's really cool to see your snowball starting to roll. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteHeaded Home,
DeleteThanks for the encouragement. You are making good progress as well.
MDP
Great purchases. MCD continues to drift downwards. I am looking to add them if it continues to go down. I have positions in F, but GM also looks attractive too.

DGJ,
DeleteGM is a bit of a wildcard so we'll see what happens. Great products and dealerships should mean continued sales increases going forward. Hopefully the negative press with the recalls will subside soon. MCD along with other fast food companies are struggling. MCD is the best of the group in my opinion.
MDP
MDP, like MCD alot here at around 3.5% initial yield and think I have added every week for the past month or so. BBL starting to look good here as well,
ReplyDeleteNice job on the 19 weeks of the challenge. Good stuff!
AA,
DeleteThanks buddy! I am working a ton of long hours to make this happen. A pullback would certainly make things easier.
Take care,
MDP
GM is a stock that doesn't get a lot of attention among the dividend bloggers. Definitely a different choice. Like the MCD purchase from the bunch. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteDivHut,
DeleteYeah I think GM has declared two dividends since the 2009 bankruptcy. Not exactly an impressive history. In spite of the recent recall fiasco, GM seems to be building great products that are being sold with a great dealer network. I think if GM can maintain its focus its future should be strong. We shall see.
Thanks for the comment.
