The long climb begins (again) --- UNP Purchase




Today I (re) initiated a position in Union Pacific.


  • UNP:  20 shares @ $74.66 --- Yield  2.95%

Total capital invested is $1500.15 and will add $44 to my yearly dividends.

  1. MDP, UNP has been beaten up recently. But great buy! The dividend metrics are very good. I will try to add more once my capital is refilled after my tax/insurance payments.

    1. Div Son,

      I hope you get even better prices! It feels good to make my first stock purchase after selling off everything a couple of months ago. A 50% correction right now would be great! LOL

  2. Looks like oil tanked the rails as well. UNP is as safe as it comes in the rail world. Nice pick up. I still have no exposure in that sector though I have been reading many buys in UNP, NSC and others in recent months. Thanks for sharing.

    2. DivHut,

      The railroads have been taking a beating recently along with the Canadian banks. Oil prices are creating some serious turmoil in these sectors right now!
