Quick update this week because I've been spending a lot of time with my wife and son at the hospital. Luke's been giving us a lot of trouble this week so I didn't have much opportunity to write. But I've got several ideas for some posts and of course some stock analyses to write up as well.
It was a relatively quiet week for my portfolio although I did finally add some more shares of AT&T to my portfolio. I had a small position from when I first started my FI Portfolio but just never took the opportunity to add to it. Well that's now been solved.
The big news for my portfolio though is that Kraft and Heinz are going to be merging into a new company. Really good news is that the company will remain public and the dividend will be kept at the rate that Kraft is currently paying out and there will be a huge $16.50 per share special dividend. Plus it never hurts to have Warren on your side. I only wish I owned more shares since I had just started a position in Kraft within my Loyal3 portfolio and only own 3.57 shares. Bummer since Kraft's shares popped on the news. For more information on the merger announcement you can check out posts here and here.

Quick update today as I sit at the hospital with Luke! But it's one that I love, especially since Luke is doing better than last week. I love hearing about dividend increases. Like absolutely love them. There's few things that I like...
- Recent Buys
Last week was quite a busy week for both my FI Portfolio and my Roth IRA. I made 3 purchases between the two accounts and while that hurts my capital raising for an investment property, I felt all 3 represented good value at the time so I went ahead...
- Recent Buy - Kraft (krft)
Today I decided to open a position in the food giant Kraft. I purchased 21 shares @ $52.74. I've had Kraft on a short list of potential buys and selected it for one of my monthly purchases. Typically I try to invest in stocks with a history of dividend...
