Small Buys

Put some cash to work yesterday and today:

Added to our positions in CHCO, CVX, PEP, SCL, and OLN. Initiated positions in MMM, NSC, ABBV, PLOW and CAT.

Now that the mortgage is paid off, I want to add a bit more into buying. I only made small purchases in the new stocks with the idea that every month we're going to be adding to them.

Added to OHI

Just a little purchase this afternoon to follow on my thinking the other day about adding to my OHI position.  Bought 15 shares @ $36.30.

Brings my cost up to $26.05 per share, and assuming a $.55/quarter dividend my YOC runs just over 10%

I had some cash left over in my account, still have some after this, but not sure what I'm going to do with the rest. Might wait a bit.

Dividends & Reinvestment

Got a couple of dividends reinvested yesterday.

We have a small position in National Penn Bancshares - NPBC. It's a stock that I want to put additional funds in soon. However, it is a lower priority, but in the meantime they paid out $11.11 and that bought 1.0491 shares.

Also paid was the last third of the Omega Healthcare REIT - OHI dividend that was split between last month and this month because of their acquisition of Aviv. $42.54 to get 1.1817 shares. I am thinking about adding to this position since the share price is attractive. I have previously bought on pullbacks when the price dropped to $22 and $29. This seems about as good of an opportunity as those were.

March on!
