This morning I purchased another 40 shares of Harris Corp (HRS). I purchased these shares for $46.24 each plus commission. My cost basis ended up being $46.44 which now brings my total cost basis in Harris to $46.84. I was able to purchase the shares at a 1.7% discount to my previous cost basis. These shares will add an additional $59.20 in annual dividends before reinvestment or further dividend increases. I will also receive a total of $29.60 in dividends from HRS this year which will help out the total dividends for the year. The YOC for the new shares is 3.19% and brought the YOC for the position in HRS up to 3.16% from 3.13%.
