Recent Buys --- XOM, UPS, WBA, & DOW




Today I added some to positions.


  • DOW:  25 shares @ $39.98 --- Yield  7.00%
  • XOM:  20 shares @ $51.36 --- Yield  6.78%
  • UPS:  11 shares @ $90.47 --- Yield  4.47%
  • WBA:  22 shares @ $45.89 --- Yield  3.99%

Total capital invested is $4,031.30 and the combined yield is 5.56%.  These purchases will add $224.30 to my yearly dividends.

I may be jumping in a bit early, but I need to replace the lost income from selling all the stocks in my old E-trade account. Today was a good day to buy as the S&P 500 is down 10% in the past week.

I almost pulled the trigger on MO and Shell, but still believe the yields will reach 10% soon. I also refrained from buying CCL and WFC as they look like traps to me right now. I will be watching them closely along with the above four companies. Other stocks that look appealing and dangerous are OXY, LYB, and BBL.

Hopefully JNJ and PEP will drop 25% in the coming weeks so I can buy them instead :)

    I would echo that comment on JNJ and PEP! I somehow managed to pick up UPS below $90. I also averaged down on LYB and others today. RDS is looking so damn tempting right now.

    1. Lanny,

      We may get there with JNJ and PEP. XOM in the 30s. Shell in the 20s. Insane stuff going on with the market and the world as well.

  4. I love it when it is difficult to decide where to deploy capital in markets like this...too many good deals are showing up on a day to day basis. I feel like a killer whale waiting offshore from an island with thousands of seals...I just need to decide which one I want to bite :)

    1. PIV,

      It's becoming difficult to decide what to buy. So many companies solid companies have dropped 30-50 percent already. Across all sectors.
