IRA Purchase HP, EMR, UTX, PFE

Took starter positions in HP, EMR, UTX, PFE today. Mostly because the last of my 2014 IRA money posted and I wanted to put it to work as quickly as possible.

15 HP @60.36

Why? Energy play and stock opened down 5%.  My uhoh was i wanted a ~$500 position which should have been 10 shares.  This is basically a $800 bet this company will survive the current energy shenanigans and be back to $100+ in 5-10 years.




10 EMR @60.41

Why? Partly this. But it was on my to buy list



20 PFE @31.65

Why? on my buy list




5 UTX @112.66

Why? want to slowly develop a position in the defense contractor space.





Those purchases put my projected dividend income in at $1319.50, which is above my $1250 goal. I will change the goal to $1500 as I have a few more dollars to purchase some additional things if the opportunity presents itself and i'm using yahoo finance API to pull in the dividend data and it seems behind what my broker shows.
