Q2 Begins BEASTMODE TIME--- QCOM, CSCO, & GIS


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!


YOU CAN'T REACH THE TOP AIMING FOR THE MIDDLE

      I really wanted to add a food company and GIS is a nice stable name.

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

  5. 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 :)
