More "Toe dipping" --- CAT, TD, & BA








Today I continued adding to the castle walls, picking up shares of CAT, TD, & BA.


  • CAT:  25 shares @ $61.44 --- Yield  5.01%
  • TD:  45 shaes @ $35.94 --- Yield  4.26%
  • BA:  12 shares @ $129.91 --- Yield 3.36% 
Total capital invested is $4733.09.  The combined yield is 4.19%  and will add $198.51 to my yearly dividends.

I was also watching GM, BBL (I know I know!!...fight the urge), and CMI.

Eventually we will have an up day this year. I do like the buying opportunities though.

  1. MDP,

    Awesome buys, I like those types of positions a lot! I just read your long post, and well as much as it sucks sometimes you have to go through some crap to get to better parts in your life. I do not doubt that your beast mode investment rage is around the corner. Good timing too.

    1. Gremlin,

      Thanks, bud! I am firing up the engines and am ready to get this train rolling again! I'll start off slow picking up a few shares here and there, but I hope to be at full speed in the coming months.

  2. MDP,

    Hopefully this depressed market state lasts for awhile while you rebuild your empire. While the personal life crap obviously stunk to deal with, the timing may play to your advantage. Onward...

    1. DWC,

      I was thinking the same thing. While it may take a few years to have the balance invested that I had in September of last year, a prolonged slow bear market would allow me make up lost ground more quickly. Whatever happens with the markets I will continue adding here and there.

  3. Nice buys with some great yield. Like CAT and TD. Both are on my Jan. considerations list among others. Thanks for sharing.

    1. DivHut,

      Those two continue to hover at 52 weeks lows (and lower) so I think a small purchase in both should be ok. Thanks for stopping by!
