Musings:

Wow CAT. Really couldn't have gotten too much worse of an entry in retrospect. Thankfully its a long term hold.

Dividend income predictions, did notice that my dividend income predictions will be lower than I have on my spreadsheet. Why? spreadsheet assumes 4 dividend payments throughout the year which wont be the case for some of the stocks (or I added after ex-div date and).   Some of the positions I initiated this month were based on ex-dividend date.

Need to do more research/planning on determining Fair Value, this should help make entries and additions to the portfolio at a better price point. Thanks to DivHunt for the reminder. Still new to this.

       
         

IRA Purchase VOD, RY, GE

Bought 10 RY @ 62.3999

I want to slowly add some foreign exposure.  Historically Canadian banks have held up ok. So figured some exposure wouldn't hurt and the dividend yield is good (3.97%).  This adds $25.10 in passive dividend income.

Chart

The stock is looking weak right now but I guess i'm hoping its on sale.  Checking out a monthly chart most of the time the 50 SMA has held up as support. If we blow through that maybe i'll start to get worried.

On the weekly the 200 has held as support.

Will also be eyeing that $60 area for a swing trade if it holds.

I also added to my GE position as planned if it went under $24.

Bought 20 GE @ 23.7199

IRA Purchases GE, WEYS, PID

Some alerts went off today on GE and WEYS. I don't have a full position on GE and I wanted to add WEYS.

Bought 25 GE @24.94, lowering my overall price on the position to $25.59. I'll most likely consider adding another 25 below $24

Why WEYS?

Bought 20 WEYS @28.55  I would consider adding more below $26 and have alerts set if it reaches that point.

Chart for PID 1/2/15
