[Shared] Want To Rebalance A Portfolio? Use Cash, Cash, Cash

Interesting perspective on rebalancing and the idea to rebalance with new infusions of cash and not by selling winners just because you are overweight or not balanced.  I like it

DRIP Purchase (IDV)

Will try to update DRIP purchases on this blog

12/30/2014  Bought 0.672 IDV @ 34.0445  via DRIP

This took annual dividend on this stock holding from $88.37 (2014 values) to $98.21 (2015 $/per share). (Dividend increase for 2015)

portfolio spreadsheet was updated to reflect the new amount of shares owned.

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

Chart for GE 1/2/15

Why WEYS?
partly here: http://www.dividendgrowthinvestor.com/2014/12/best-dividend-stocks-for-2015.html

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

PID
Bought 25 @17.3999

why foreign dividend exposure via ETF

Chart for PID 1/2/15

This increases projected dividend income for the year to: $1,197.03
