Recent Buy --- CAT




Today I added more shares to my CAT position.


  • CAT:  45 shares @ $65.61 --- Yield  4.69%

Total capital invested is $2959.40 and this will increase my yearly dividends by $138.60. CAT, similar to a lot of energy names, continues to hit multi year lows. With the announcement of lowered revenue guidance and massive layoffs the blood continues to flow. I almost initiated a position in EMR, but it looks like it is taking a fast train to the $30s. I may look at it again next week.

Recent Buy --- RDS-b


Today, on further weakness, I added to my Shell position.


  • RDS-b:  35 shares @ $48.26 --- Yield  7.79%

Total capital invested is $1696.05 and will add $131.60 to my yearly dividends. BP and BBL are also very tempting at their current levels. I may be wrong, but I really believe these are great times to be creating and adding to energy positions. I haven't updated my portfolio sheet in a few months, but this purchase puts me right at 200 shares of Shell.
