New purchase June 2018 II

I've some more stocks. Mostly companies that make consumer products in the US and a mix between finance and automotive in Germany.

• 3 KMB for $ 100.56 for a yield of 3.98 %.
• 4 PG for $ 75.72 for a yield of 3.79 %.
• 5 DAI for 62.78 € for a yield of 5.91 %.
• 28 DBK for 9.3955 € for a yield of 1.16 %.

I've updated my portfolio and as always it can be found here.

New purchases

I've made some new purchases even though I'm a bit hesitant due to the recent downturn in stock prices.

• 15 GE for $ 14.77  for a yield of 2.44 %.
• 5  PG for $ 81.11 for a yield of 3.4 %.
• 10 O for $ 48.96 for a yield of  4.79 %. 

I'm thinking about holding some more cash this month, hoping that the prices will drop even more. I've updated my portfolio and as always it can be found here.

Anyway my yoga February is coming along nicely. Ten minutes yoga is a great way to start the day and it's an even better way to end the day. My sleep quality has increase which is great for me. I recommend everyone to try it. Ten minutes a day should be easy for everyone. 

New purchases

I've increase my position in PG and SPFF and now both each carry a weight of almost 5 % in my portfolio so I will probably not buy any more in the near future.

• 5 PG for $ 88.33 per share for a yield of 3.02 %.
• 20 SPFF for $ 12.27 per share for a yield of 7.19 %.
• 13 ALA for 29.18 CAD per share for a yield of 7.4 %.
• 15 AD for 18.43 CAD per share for a yield of 8.79 %.

As always you find my updated portfolio here.

New purchases

Initially for May I was planning on investing in Canada, but the recent events concerning Home Capital (TSE:HCG) has made me hesitant. Instead I decided to increase my position in some of the companies I already own.

• 5 T for $ 38.95 per share for a yield of 5.03 %, new average cost $ 40.80
• 3 EMR for $ 56.93 per share for a yield of  3.37 %, new average cost $ 58.37
• 4 PG for € 86.4 per share for a yield of 3,09 %, new average cost $ 87.29
• 3 KMB for € 127.99 per share for a yield of 2.95 %, new average cost $ 131.32

They all pay a quarterly dividend and this will add more dividend for me. For T $ 7.35, EMR $ 4.32, PG $ 5.352 and for KMB $ 5.82. This results in an added $ 22.842 to my expected dividends this year.

I've updated my portfolio and as always it can be found here. I also added a calculation for my total yield of my portfolio. At the moment it is 3.86 %.

New purchases

Today I initiated two new positions JNJ and PG so now I own 12 different stocks.

• 5 JNJ for $ 115.99 per share and a yield of 2.76 %.
• 6 PG for $ 87.89 per share and a yield of 3.05 %

Both pay quarterly dividends and JNJ will pay me $ 16 this year and PG $ 12.042 for a total of $ 28.042. I have a good long term feeling about these companies and that makes me accept a lower yield now. They also pay dividend second and first month of the quarter and as I wrote here I consider that a minor downside. 

I've updated my portfolio and as always it can be found here.

Short term watchlist

With my last purchase I now have ten different investments in ten different sectors, with a weight of 10 ± 3 % and that feels good. One downside with my current portfolio is that most of the dividends are payed in the third month of the quarter. However, that is something to think about in the future. I'm still a long way from being able to live off my dividend and as long as I reinvest the dividend it matters less when I receive it.

My next purchases will be one or more of the following (ticker, yield, eps):

• KMB, 3.2, 20.27
• MCD, 3.10, 22.67
• PG, 3.08, 24.62
• JNJ, 2.84, 19.02
• VFC, 3.27, 17.04

Short term watchlist

My next purchases will be a couple of SRET (high yield and global exposure) and one of the following (ticker, yield, eps):

• KMB, 3.2, 20.27
• TROW, 3.2, 14.17
• MCD, 3.10, 22.67
• PG, 3.08, 24.62
• JNJ, 2.84, 19.02

Short term watchlist

I still have some money from my salary to invest. This is list is an update of an earlier blog post. My portfolio will be in "diversification mode" for a long time, meaning I will increase the number of companies that I invest in. From March and onward I will broaden my geographical search area to include the Nordic countries as well. I'm thinking that I will invest half in dividend aristocrats and the other half in quality stocks from a certain country, so stay tuned.

This time I will choose from (ticker, yield, eps):

• T, 4.69, 17.79
• EMR, 3.19, 24.43
• MCD, 3.10, 22.67
• PG, 3.08, 24.62
• ABBV, 4.16, 16.5

Do you have any thoughts or comments on my plans?

Short term watch list

My salary will soon be available for investing so I'd better start planning which companies to invest in. I want to own companies that have a good track record of increasing dividend, i.e dividend kings/aristocrats. I want to diversify and one way of doing that is simply to buy two aristocrats in different sectors each month. I prefer not buying stocks with a yield lower than 3 %, so that will be my first criteria. Second is that I want to have a P/E ratio that is not to high. Third is that I want to have a positive "feeling" for the company. I know that's not rational, but I don't want to make investments I don't believe in.

This month I will choose from (ticker, yield, eps):

• ED, 3.78, 18.03
• TGT, 3.77, 11,72 
• KO, 3.38, 25.16
• MCD, 3.10, 22.67
• PG, 3.08, 24.62
