Recent buys - November 2015

Due to me buying my first appartment, I don't have as much time to blog as I would like.
However, I do want to update you guys about a few recent buys I did a couple weeks ago, without going in depth.

Of course I'm very excited about this appartment and I can't wait to tell you much more, but it still is not finalized. So I have to be a little bit more patient for now.

Let's get back to business!

Wal-mart & Co. (WMT)
Buy 13 shares @ $58.29 at 10/26/2015

Can't go wrong with this, right?

Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM)
Buy 1 share @ $56.73 at 11/05/2015

I had some money left in my account and I wanted it to work for me, that's why I bought another share of QCOM. It turned out it was going to drop a bit more, but that doesn't really matter if you're expecting it to hold for at least another 25 years right?

My portfolio page has been updated to reflect these changes.

What do you think of these?

Thanks for reading!

    We have also been averaging into Walmart. As for Qualcomm, horrible swing down in the stock today on the Korean investigation. There may be just too many issues for us to keep hoping for a turnaround in the shares, but no need to panic sell, today.

      Yea I hear you! It's my second biggest loss at the moment.
      However, I have no intention of selling it at all.
      Their business is great and future proof.

      We'll see how things evolve on the short term, but I'm confident about the long term, for both WMT and QCOM.

      Thanks for your visit!

    You and others are really liking WMT on these dips. Not a bad buy it's just not a favorite sector of mine. I have been on a health REIT kick this month as lower prices, better value and higher yield are showing up in my screens as interest rate hike fear drag these stocks down.

      Hey DivHut,

      You are right. Financial stocks, especially REITs offer a very nice yield. It does look tempting, but I'd prefer to stay deversified on this one.

      Currently my Financials are at 20% of the portfolio and so are the Consumer Discs. Buying another Financial would make it more like 26%/17%. That just didn't seem right. :)

      Thanks for your thoughts though, appreciate it.

      Best wishes, DfS

    DFS,

    Nice job - excited to hear about the apt. First - buying WMT at these prices is a great thing, if somehow the market wants to track downward - pick up more on 5% or so swings, usually my game plan. Great forward dividend income you added, keep it up.

    Great buys here. I just picked up QCOM last week for the first time and have been buying up WMT on the dip. Both are great stocks at great prices. Keep up the good work!

      Hey IH,

      Thanks for your visit!
      QCOM has been falling down a lot lately. Great company though. I'm sure they will recover from the issues they are dealing with at the moment.

      Best wishes, DfS

    Congrats on your apartment!

    I have about 10k in Wal-Mart and i'm trying to keep myself from buying more. Doesn't seem like it will recover soon either. :-)

      Hey Jeff,

      Thanks for visiting my blog!

      10k seems to be enough... hopefully your portfolio is diversified :)
      We will keep collection dividends during their recovery! That's the great part of this strategy.

      Best wishes, DfS
