Lanny’s Recent Stock Purchase – Kraft Heinz (KHC) & Isabella Bank Corp. (ISBA)

Posted on August 17, 2018 by DividendDiplomats

Tired of reading my purchase articles yet? Better get used to it, because I am ready to unleash some capital on a go-forward basis. There are reasons I am able to buy more individual stocks, which I will explain in a later post. However, I unloaded capital, again, on Friday the 10th. This was not a significant amount of capital but wanted to explain my two small purchases in Kraft-Heinz (KHC) and a small community bank of Isabella Bank Corp. (ISBA).

Bert’s Recent Stock Buys – Illinois Tool Works (ITW) & WestRock Co. (WRK)

Posted on August 15, 2018 by DividendDiplomats

It turns out that Lanny is pretty good at finding undervalued dividend growth stocks. I was such a big fan of some of his recent purchases that I decided to follow his lead and purchase two of the stocks he recently purchased as well. Luckily for me, even though I recently purchased shares of Tyson Foods, I had some extra capital to deploy. See why I initiated two new positions in my portfolio at the beginning of August.

Lanny’s Recent Stock Purchase – Bed, Bath & Beyond (BBBY), WestRock Co. (WRK) & Illinois Tool Works (ITW)

Posted on August 13, 2018 by DividendDiplomats

August has been hot and heavy with dividend stock purchases already! As you can tell from the title of the article, this isn’t about just one dividend stock purchase. We are talking a nice ~~double~~ triple punch to the portfolio. However, “punch” has a much more positive tone. Prices were ripe and I deployed a bit of capital into three young dividend producing & growing stocks!

Bert’s Recent Stock Purchase – Tyson Foods (TSN)

Posted on August 5, 2018 by DividendDiplomats

July was a long month for my portfolio. With Capital One selling their investment portfolio to Etrade , I was looking for a new trading form. After many, many talks with Lanny, I finally settled on Ally Investing. My transfer was initiated at the beginning of July, but my assets were not fully transitioned until the end of the month. This waiting period was unique and shook up the flow of the first six-months of the year that saw me making a lot of stock purchases. For the first 30 days of July, I did not make any stock purchases. However, on the final day of the month, I was able to sneak one purchase in. Here is why I purchased shares of Tyson Foods (TSN) on July 31!
