Recent Buy - Pepsico (PEP)
Earlier this week I purchased shares of the soft drink giant Pepsico (PEP). I purchased another 14 shares at $85.71 a share which give me a grand total of 43 shares. I have made two previous Pepsi purchases this year at $81 and $83 respectively. As of this writing the stock is sitting at around $87 so I got in on a tiny dip. Recently PEP announced a generous 15.4% dividend increase which is a big factor in my latest purchase here.
