New purchases

I've been really busy for a while now and haven't had the time for writing, but I still managed to buy stocks in two companies.

• 5 MCD for $ 127.2 for a yield of 2.96 %.
• 9 VFC for $ 53.17 for a yield of 3.16 %. 

They both pay quarterly dividends. MCD will pay me $ 14.1 and VFC $ 15.12 for a total of  $ 29.22.

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

Short term watch list

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

• KMB, 3.15, 22.46
• MCD, 2.99, 23.42
• VFC, 3.31, 19.11

For some reason I've had MCD on my all watch lists, but haven't made a purchase. I'm thinking that this is going to be the time I buy it.

I've been a bit busy this last week and next week will probably be even more busy so I don't know if I will be able to make any purchases. 

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
