Hi Everyone,
- Recent Buy: So
On January 22, 2016, I bought 22 shares of the Southern Company at $46.70 per share for a total of $1034.40. As you may know originally I had plans to buy JNJ, UL, and PG all of which failed. So now I'm switching back to my old plan of hunting for...
- Dividend Income - February 2016 Update
Hi Everyone, The 2nd month of 2016 is behind us, warmer weather and hopefully the promise of greater dividends is in the future! It was a very quiet month in terms of purchases. We ended up making just one purchase in February: RAI. This purchase...
- Dividend Income - January 2016 Update
Hi Everyone, The first month is in the books and boy was it quite the rough month! Stock market took a pretty good tumble and the east coast was hit by one of the biggest blizzards/snow storms in the history of records. It was a pretty calm...

Recent Buys - UA, UNP & AAPL
The month of January got away from me a little bit so this post is well overdue. I did not expect to invest nearly this much money the past month but my wife and I did well on expenses in December and used significant credit card points to keep the expenses down in January! Come to think of it, I don't even think I told my wife what I bought! Surprise babe... we spent $4,000 last month :)
So I'll keep this quick:
On 1/4/2016: We bought 12 shares of UNP at $79.00 per share - $950 total
On 1/4/2016: We bought 13 shares of UA at $79.25 per share - $1,037 total
On 1/21/2016: We bought 15 shares of UA at $68.65 per share - $1,036 total
On 2/1/2016: We bought 10 shares of AAPL at $96.00 per share - $970 total
Total new dividends from these purchases stands at just $47.20 per year. Definitely does not have the wow factor like buying REIT's or Telecom's but I'm hopeful that UA (down significantly from the all time high) will become the next NKE, UNP has been beaten down hard and the same can be said for AAPL.
With a substantial time frame to let compounding and growth continue, I believe above average dividend increases from UNP and AAPL plus a potential dividend initiation in UA will propel our dividends greatly in the future.
As more capital becomes available, UNP and AAPL are on the list to average down on if they continue to stay depressed.
So there you have it, the next couple building blocks on the path to the American Dividend Dream! What do you think, good purchases, bad purchases? What are you looking to buy next?
