Weekly Purchases


Here are my automatic purchases for this week.

  • KO:  6.35 shares @ $39.37 --- Yield  3.35%
  • JNJ:  2.54 shares @ $97.93 --- Yield  3.06%

Total capital invested is $500 ($250 in each company). The combined yield is $3.21% which will increase my yearly dividends by $16.03.

My original intent was to add KMI, CVX, PM, and JNJ. I guess that I forgot to hit the save button. Oh well, I will gladly add to these two positions regularly.

Stocks on my radar for next week include the six mentioned above along with UNP, SO, WMT, and WPC.

    1. Div Son,

      I hope the market pulls back also, but I will continue investing in all market conditions.

  2. I just took a dive on JNJ today. I was going back and forth between JNJ and CTWS, but with a stalwart like JNJ now yielding higher than a water utility, it was a no-brainer. Thanks for updating.

    1. Eric,

      Great job picking up JNJ. I should probably spend more time picking up shares of JNJ and steering clear of the volatile energy sector.

  3. Great buys MDP. These are two of my largest holdings, and Johnson & Johnson is one of the stocks I discussed buying in today's post. Have a great week!

      I saw and enjoyed your article. It looks like several of your buy choices are getting near your buy levels.

  5. MDP,

    Nice weekly purchases, both are excellent moves. I also liked your big purchase Monday of UNP. I just picked up some yesterday for my 1st position in them and railroads in general. I think that is an awesome play that in 5 years will just be flat killing it for you.

    1. DG,

      Congrats on your UNP purchase. I like and agree with your long term thinking. It also feels good to buy outside of the energy sector. How long I stay away is uncertain.
