Today I add shares of Target to my portfolio.
- TGT: 40 shares @ $66.81 --- Yield 3.35%
Total capital invested is $2679.31 and my yearly dividends will increase by $89.60.
Target is dealing with all kinds of "shit storms" right now....tough retail environment, Amazon, and fucked up trans-gender issues. The last of these almost made me opt for WMT or KSS instead. Anyway, hopefully TGT will come out of this much like they did after the security breach problems a couple of years ago. I'll likely add more shares if we drop down into the $50s.

MDP,
ReplyDeleteI just bought 40 shares of target. Will add more if it drops to the 50s.

D4s,
DeleteAre you stalking me? :-) If so, good move! LOL I obviously love and approve the bold move.
We are on the same page....be greedy when others are fearful!
MDP
I am sure you aren't alone on this one. Target doesn't fit my bill, but I thought about buying as a swing trade. Good company in a bad sector.....but the retail pessimism has gotten a little silly.

IS,
DeleteRetail is experiencing some turmoil right. That a good buying time in my opinion. It may stay rough for a couple more quarters so there should be continued opportunities throughout the year.
MDP
Solid buy man. Glad to see you're getting busier on the buy front again. :)
ReplyDeleteTawcan,
DeleteThanks, man! I am enjoying the choppy markets right now as I am sure you are too!
MDP
Nice buy here on the drop post earnings. It'll be interesting how WMT does tomorrow as well.
ReplyDeleteCaptain,
DeleteThanks and it looks like Walmart is jumping big time! I should have jumped in there in the low 60s yesterday. Oh well. I'll patiently wait for it to drift back down.
MDP
I was not aware of the transgender issue... thanks for sharing. WMT would have been a good buy yesterday, seeing how the share price is popping today!
ReplyDeleteFerdiS,
DeleteWalmart and Cisco are definitely the bright spots in an otherwise rough looking market. I may pick up some shares today. There are some pretty decent looking buys out there!
MDP
Keep it up MDP. Back in Action! Thanks for sharing and it's awesome to see posts from you. Cheers bud.
ReplyDeleteHustler,
DeleteThanks, my friend! It feel good to get back into the investing pool. I'll have a hard time getting out again. :-)
MDP
Congrats on the buy. The cashflow will be good, and I'm sure you'll get a dividend for a long time, I'm not sure there will ever be much growth though..

Tristan,
DeleteIt's really hard to say what happened. Surprising after the security breach a couple years ago, Target gave like a 20% dividend raise a few months later. I would hope until the retail environment improves they stay conservative.
MDP
MDP,
ReplyDeletePUMPED you making massive moves. Love that you were able to take advantage of these big dips. NICE work.

Lanny,
DeleteYeah I'm glad to see TGT back down in the 60s again. The yield and price are pretty attractive here in my opinion.
MDP
Just picked up TGT too but living in a much smaller capital world than you (only picked up $500 worth - 8 shares). I doubt in 5 or 10 years you'll be upset you own/owned the stock and that seems like a good starting point.
