Today I opened a position in DEO and KO.
- DEO: 15 shares @ $103.02 --- Yield 3.34%
- KO: 40 shares @ $44.47 --- Yield 3.15%
Total capital invested is $3337.90. The combined yield is 3.22% and will add $112 to my yearly dividends. I wouldn't say KO is particularly cheap here, but it never hurts to add some shares each year. I started with a relatively small position and will add more on weakness.
I almost bought DEO around $100 a couple of days ago, but went with Wells instead. Both DEO and KO are fairly defensive in nature and should be reliable payers for years to come.

MDP,
ReplyDeleteFricken sweet. I wish I would have scooped up more DEO when it was at $100; hoping it drives back to that price point, as I think it's a steal. It's a steal under $105; with strong branding. KO = no explanation necessary. Nice purchases.

Lanny,
DeleteThanks, my man! I hear you with the $100 price range. I should have jumped on in it a few days earlier. Anything in the low $100s looks pretty solid and I will hopefully add to the position sooner rather than later!
