Hi Everyone,
You can check out all the other purchases we have made for the year on my Stock Purchases and Sells page.
- Recent Buys - Bank Of Nova Scotia (bns), Amgen (amgn), St Jude (stj)
Hi Everyone, Well, after our sell of Realty Income (O) we have put an additional $3K to work or a total of about $6K. First we went and bought RAI and now we have purchased BNS, AMGN and STJ! Reasoning behind all the purchases: Bank of Nova Scotia:...
- Recent Buy - Reynolds American Inc. (rai)
Hi Everyone, Another purchase is in the books. After my sell of O, I had a decent amount of funds. RAI has pulled back just a tad off its 52 week high and the quarter looked really good. Not to mention is that they just raised the dividend...
- Recent Buy - 3m Company (mmm)
Hi Everyone, My wife and I continue to be blessed with the way this year has shaped up. Personally, these buy posts make me hungrier than ever to keep saving, keep making money and keep investing. The income that we are starting to make every...
- Recent Buy - Parker-hannifin Corp.
Hi Everyone, I fell behind a little bit with getting this post out, but its been a busy couple weeks. This purchase actually occurred on June 6th. It looks as if I'll make another purchase here pretty quickly because of the RAI/LO merger....
- Recent Buy - W. P. Carey Inc. (wpc)
Hi Everyone, Well, the year has slowed down a bit with regards to buys, but the savings account has been built back up after I used them all up to pay off the student loans so hopefully I can get back to putting more money to work. With this...

Recent Buy - HCP Inc. (HCP)
Another building block to the American Dividend Dream has been bought. This time, a little bit smaller of a purchase than some of the previous ones but a purchase nonetheless.
Just a quick post tonight. I just want to get the information out there for all to see...
We purchased 27 shares of HCP, Inc (HCP) at $37.05 on November 2nd. This purchase adds $61.02 of annual dividends to our account.Just a quick post tonight. I just want to get the information out there for all to see...
Of course hindsight is 20/20 and would have loved to buy it for the current price of $33 or less, but with any luck the stock will stay at this level when the dividend payout occurs.
For all of you keeping track at home, we made the purchase of WBA which only has a yield of about 1.65% but was purchased for the potential growth of the dividend. With that being said, this next purchase I thought needed a little more bang for the buck so at $37, we are looking at a yield around 6.00%. Combined, this results in about a 3.50% dividend yield - $85/$2500 = 3.40% and about a 5.00% growth rate. I think this growth rate could expand to 6 or 7 percent combined when WBA starts seeing synergies with the recent merger and the potential Rite Aid purchase. Anything over 10% combined growth is gravy in my book and that's what I was shooting for with these two purchases!

So there you have it, the next building block on the path to the American Dividend Dream! What do you think, good purchase, bad purchase? What are you looking to buy next?
