Today I added to QCOM, CSCO, and initiated a position in GIS.
- QCOM: 28 shares @ $56.42 --- Yield 4.04%
- CSCO: 50 shares @ $33.57 --- Yield 3.46%
- GIS: 30 shares @ $58.75 --- Yield 3.27%
Total capital invested is $5041.39 and the combined yield is 3.56%. These purchase will add $179.44 to my yearly dividends.
Between DRIPs and raises last month, this purchase puts me just under $7900 in forward dividends.
I mentioned in my last post that I want to reach $8500 by May 1st! I will!

Like the GIS pick up. I'm also looking at that name this month. Nice current yield with these buys too. Keep it up!

ReplyDeleteYou son of a gun. You picked up CSCO on the last day you could before the ex-date, WELL PLAYED SIR. Congrats on the investment purchases and stacking hard on the forward income. BEAST MODE IS ON.

Lanny,
DeleteI am one sneaky mfer. Hard to find good deals, but I'm gonna keep adding to the woodpile.

Those are some excellent picks. What's more - you probably purchased QCOM at a starting yield of over 4% because they have already announced a dividend increase to $0.57 a quarter starting the payment in June :)
ReplyDeleteDG,
DeleteWow! Thanks for the catch I just updated my post. Love it!
MDP
Nice work MDP. I like all three buys, with GIS being my favorite.
ReplyDeleteIH,
DeleteI really like GIS as well, but it's one resilient rascal!
MDP
Great buys, great going! You'll reach your target in no time at this speed.
ReplyDeleteP2F,
DeleteThanks and I be working hard to do so!
MDP
I'm liking the GIS buy! I think I'm going to cave in and start a position myself! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, BEASTMODE IS BEST MODE!
