I added a few more shares to my GIS position.
- GIS: 30 shares @ $56.25 --- Yield 3.41%
Total capital invested is $1694.45 and will add $57.60 to my yearly dividends. I was on the fence today and had a difficult time choosing between GIS, XOM, T, & VZ. I took the more defensive of the choices and now have 170 shares of GIS.
I am really loving the grind of climbing back up the passive income mountain. Kinda reminds me of the summer of 2014.....fun times for sure!!

ReplyDeleteFV,
DeleteThanks! I'm almost at a full position, but I may buy more if the price drops.

Nice add on. Was getting ready to buy and the price shot up like 5% on 3G rumours. Glad to see it's back down. I have a limit order so we'll see what happens.
ReplyDeleteADY,
DeleteI know it! The price spiked to $60 on Friday I believe and then came back down to the mid $50s. Crazy stuff! Good luck with your order.

Had a limit order at $55.50 but decided to buy 100 today @$56.46 and another 100 if the price drops 10-15% from here.
DeleteGIS is the name of the day. I just picked some up myself and others too from what I have been reading. Buy when others are crapping all over the stock. Like MCD or JNJ of a few years ago.

DivHut,
DeleteYou hit the nail on the head. I would definitely be buying MCD back in the 90s and especially AAPL in the $90. This is too good of a company at too cheap of a price.
MDP
Can't go wrong with that buy. I've been eyeing that stock for what feels like forever! And that forward dividend income... can't wait until I've got as much coming in as you do. Keep that train rolling forward, Pipeline.

I love GIS - one of my first four dividend growth stocks that has anchored my portfolio for years. It's already a large position in my portfolio, but I would consider adding more shares if the yield hits 3.6%.
ReplyDeleteDM,
DeleteIt very well may and is pretty close to that yield right now. I wouldn't mind overloading a bit myself.

Lanny,
DeleteJust a nibble! Always pushing!! That's my way of life.

Excellent income and that forward income is continuing to grow. how fantastic is that!
ReplyDeleteBHL,
DeleteIt's great and difficult at the same time. I'm always grinding trying to achieve the things I want most in place of the things I want now!!
MDP
Nice investment. GIS looks to be a good company altough a bit stuck on growth.
ReplyDelete2035,
DeleteThe growth is tough in packaged foods right now, but it should be a stable and hopefully slow growth name in the coming years.

Bought what I could last week to start a position. I'd double that today if I could. Seems to me a "set it and forget" stock for the long haul.
ReplyDeleteDividism,
DeleteI tend to agree. I don't see too much more downside volatility and the starting yield is pretty good. If it drifts into the low 50s I'll likely add a few more shares.
