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.

DEFY MEDIOCRITY

  1. Me too! I bought 48 RDS-B shares today at $47.66 which puts my total at 289 shares (cost basis now lower at $58.30 which seems "ok"). I also thought about lowering my cost basis with BP & BBL but refrained! Feel unsure about those two right now. It's very tempting though. I gather the commodity glut could last many many years so I guess I'll let reinvested dividends lower my BBL cost basis. However if BBL and BP fall into the 20s I will buy! I also bought the UK energy company AMEC Foster Wheel today (initial position) which pays 5.5% dividend and appears to be a good value. Have you heard of it? Your blog is very interesting, thank you.

    1. It's me again. I just bought some BP at $29.93.
      Although I wonder, now that it's broken that $30 level will it be in freefall?

  2. What can I say? Me too! Bought 37 shares @ $47.69 today. BP & BBL are also very high on my list and I will be a buyer soon.
    Cheers & good luck

  3. Me too bought 60 shares of RDS.B on Friday @49.76. BP is really tempting because of the yield. DO you believe BP's dividend is safe though?

  4. Great minds think alike. Picked up 20 shares of RDS.B @47.90. BP appears to have plenty of cash to cover litigation. My guess is in 5 years BP in the low 30s will look like a steal.
