Recent buy - August

Despite the fact I had to buy a new bike, I'm happy to announce a recent buy.

My job is asking a lot of my attention, so that's why I haven't been very actively blogging recently.
Hopefully I'm able to blog more in the near future, as I love to be part of this great community.


McDonald's (MCD)
Buy: 11 shares @ 94.77

This stock is in many portfolio's for a reason.
They increased their dividend for 39 years in a row and this year is no different.

Thanks for reading!

    Good buy here! I think MCD is attractively priced at the moment with its weak few quarters. I've been slowly adding MCD in my L3 account and actually just put in a small order today.

      Hi Agent Dividend,

      First of all: welcome to the DGI community :)
      I'll be sure to follow your blog.

      Back in August I've posted a stock analysis concerning McDonalds. I think it's a great stock, despite their recent struggles.

      Thanks for commenting.

      Best wishes, DfS

    Very nice buy. I am also thinking I should buy a few more shares while the price is still fair for MCD.

      Hi DM,

      Thanks for your comment.
      As you can see in my watchlist, there are many other great stocks trading close to their 52-week low mark. It's a great time to be a DGI investor, in my opinion. Good luck with your decision.

      Best wishes, DfS

    For all the crying us dividend bloggers were doing a few months ago we now seem a bit happier as many stocks and some sectors are taking a serious dive. Look at all the energy stocks as oil tumbled and with the commodities everything else is sinking too. Well, MCD has fallen from its highs of $103 in the summer and with a nice yield and low PE what's not to like long term. I'm lovin' it too!

    Nice pickup! I've been added MCD in my Loyal3 account all summer and am enjoying the dip in prices as well.

    Glad to hear you got the bike situation resolved! You and I think exactly alike here. Whenever someone tells me that MCD (or TGT or WMT) is suffering/about to collapse/whatever, I just look at that dividend. It's been paid for decades, and I doubt it's going anywhere anytime soon. Makes life so much easier when you can tune out the noise like that. Long MCD as well (and TGT).

      You're absolutely right!

      As a daytrader or a trader in common stocks in order to make profit out of it, I know it would stress me out to see my stocks are -5% in value at the moment.

      However, knowing that this downswing is 'just' 1,5 year of dividends makes it so much easier to deal with. The value will go up in the long run and meanwhile we compensate it and probably even make profits with the dividends, even if the stock is not performing as well as we would like to.

      Keep up the good work!

    Nice buy! A good one for the long-term. Hang in there as far as blogging is concerned and keep up with it -- you won't regret the time you spend doing it!

    Take care
