I'm a bit late on this update but it was a crazy weekend with lots of work and other writing that I wanted to get done. The markets have started to turn things around in February and I have no idea which was the head-fake, the dip or the subsequent recovery. What I do know is that a company I wanted to own was trading at a price I was comfortable with so it was time to add to my position. Out of the carbonated beverage makers, Coca-Cola was the first one I bought and for the longest time it was the only one of the two soda giants that were in my portfolio. That all changed back in early December when I finally started to build my position in PepsiCo (PEP). I knew I wasn't getting the best price at the time of the first purchase but I felt that it was a decent price to start building the position from. Luckily Mr. Market gave me an opportunity to average down my cost basis and buy some more shares on Valentine's Day. How sweet Mr. Market.

This past week was very busy for me. It started off with a quick call out on Monday to head back to work. I was hoping to be home at least until Tuesday and maybe until Wednesday, but they got things done at the rig much faster than I expected. I...

This morning I purchased 40 shares of Target (TGT) for a price of $61.81 per share. With the current dividend payment of $1.44 I was able to pick up the shares for a 2.32% YOC. I've been following Target for a while and the price just never quite...

Yesterday morning I put in a limit order to pick up 34 more shares of Kinder Morgan, Inc (KMI) at a price of $33.35. It would have triggered early in trading but I didn't put in the order until later in the morning after the price had already recovered....
